Last month, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/telenovellamusic">Tele Novella</a> made a couple of stops on their debut tour in Los Angeles - the second of which was in at the Bootleg Theater in the heart of Los Angeles. Tele Novella is the brainchild of Natalie Ribbons, of the <a href="http://rocknwomen.avidnoise.com/2013/03/20/natalie-ribbons-on-the-transition-from-agent-ribbons-to-tele-novella/">recently and dearly departed</a> <a href="http://agentribbons.com/">Agent Ribbons</a>. While were big fans of and will greatly miss Agent Ribbons, Tele Novella will neatly fill the void.<br />
<br />
While it would be tempting to compare Tele Novella to Agent Ribbons, it would not only be the easy way out, but somewhat inaccurate. Tele Novella, by virtue of being a four-piece (vs. Agent Ribbon's usual two) has a darker sound, which conjures up images of victorian gothic horror with tinges of 60's folk/swing thrown in. So enjoy this show, which was not only their tenth live performance ever, but included such highlights as the story of the "flying (guitar) space case" and the performance of a song that was based on a poem/lyrics from a man that ran a record label in Texas in the 1960's (track 5) Setlist below:<br />
<br />
No Excalibur<br />
Don't Be A Stranger<br />
Victorian Terrarium<br />
?<br />
? "God Bless You Linda"<br />
?<br />
?<br />
Hair of the Dog<br />
Coattail Rider<br />

Last weekend, <a href="http://www.jescahoop.com/">Jesca Hoop</a> was back in town and graced us with her presence at her old stomping grounds of the <a href="http://www.hotelcafe.com/">Hotel Cafe</a> in Hollywood. As Jesca has been a resident of Manchester for awhile now, a sighting of her in the <a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2009/04/jesca-hoop-40109-hotel-cafe-hollywood.html">states</a> <a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2009/04/jesca-hoop-40909-hotel-cafe-hollywood.html">has</a> <a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2009/04/jesca-hoop-41609-hotel-cafe-hollywood.html">become</a> <a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2009/05/jesca-hoop-42909-hotel-cafe-hollywood_03.html">a</a> <a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2011/01/jesca-hoop-11211-hotel-cafe-hollywood.html">rarer</a> <a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2012/08/jesca-hoop-81112-zoeys-cafe-ventura-ca.html">one</a> - on this outing, she was here for <a href="http://sxsw.com/">SXSW</a> besides this Los Angeles stop. And what a show it was - along with a selection of songs that spanning her catalog (including the newbie "Songs of Old"), if you've been dying to hear Jesca utter "fuck da police," your wish has been granted. Guests that joined Jesca onstage were longtime collaborator Nicole Eva Emery on backing vocals, and Blake Mills on guitar for "The House That Jack Built." Full setlist below:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Murder of Birds <br />
"Cop Story" <br />

<br />
This past Thursday night, <a href="http://www.littleredlung.com/">Little Red Lung</a> appeared at the <a href="http://www.hotelcafe.com/">The Hotel Cafe</a> in Hollywood playing a set that saw the debut of several new songs that will be part of their upcoming, first full-length album. It's been awhile since we've seen Little Red Lung, having been big fans and <a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2012/02/little-red-lung-13012-echo-los-angeles.html">covering them on</a> <a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2012/06/little-red-lung-62212-center-for-arts.html">here before</a>, and tonight's show did not disappoint. The Hotel Cafe's surrounding atmosphere and backdrop was the perfect setting to see Little Red Lung play in, and ff these new songs are any indication, the album will be a must-listen. Setlist below:<br />
<br />
50 Fingers<br />
Deadweight<br />
Civilian Tiger<br />
Badblood<br />
Fangs<br />
Little Drop of Poison (Tom Waits cover)<br />
Wheremines<br />
Rarebird<br />

<br />
Last night I went to a show. This act isn't so unusual of itself, save for the fact that I haven't been to one since The Henry Clay People's last NYE extravaganza many weeks back - talk about falling show attendance It was Little Red Lung and Pam Shaffer (the later celebrating a new record release) at the Hotel Cafe. I sat with Brad Roberts of <a href="http://feedyourheadtoday.blogspot.com/">Feed Your Head</a> fame. It was a good show. Hotel Cafe has changed a lot of the years - I've been going there on and off since August of 2003 (!) Granted, the world keeps progressing on, and change is a natural factor of that, but...which brings me to another reason why I'm making this entry.<br />
<br />
This morning, <a href="http://the704.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-second-anniversary-of-first.html">The 704 made a post</a> celebrating his blog's anniversary, and how admittedly his online abode "is effectively dead, and has been for a while." I know the feeling - my own updates have been few and far between. Life and other things get in the way, it happens. Other activities take priority. However, this paragraph jumped out at me:<br />
<br />
"Death to Anders no longer exists. Pizza! and Big Whup no longer exist. One Trick Pony no longer exists. Red Cortez, Mississippi Man, the Deadly Syndrome. The 60 Watt Kid diaspora has grown to include N O W, Skyline Drive, Pageants. Future Ghost is Missing Teen. Some variation of the Union Line has become Mt. Ossa. Johnny left Seasons. Manhattan Murder Mystery has six members. Who knows what's happening with the Monolators and the Henry Clay People. Joey Siara now plays rousing rock and roll anthems solo to rooms full of the staid and the polite. Web in Front no longer exists. Mouse is married. Time keeps doing that weird thing it does: passing."<br />
<br />
First of all, I had no idea One Trick Pony had disbanded. It seems like yesterday <a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2012/06/one-trick-pony-61612-make-music.html">I saw them at last year's edition of</a> <a href="http://makemusicpasadena.org/">Make Music Pasadena</a>. Talk about being out of the loop. But I digress...<br />
<br />
Last night's show was very good. Great new stuff from Little Red Lung. But - and this is more about me than the music - something felt off, and has been awhile. Going to shows isn't as fun as it used to. There doesn't seem to be much to get excited about as in years past, that a certain spark is missing. Granted, I go to a lot of concerts alone, and that takes it's toll after awhile, but...I don't know. Maybe it's prolonged burn-out after going to see so much for such a long time? A normal part of the aging process?<br />
<br />
Regardless, there will be upcoming posts on the sets from last night, hopefully sooner than later. A Jesca Hoop show should be on the horizon in the near future. If I decide to shell out the cash for Bat For Lashes, that too. Beyond that, who knows...<br />

Back in October (this is one of those "better late than never posts"), <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HauntedSummermusic">Haunted Summer</a> performed a set of <a href="http://www.myanimalhome.net/">Animal Collective</a> covers at the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/otikrecords">Otik Records</a>-presented Halloween Covers night at <a href="http://attheecho.com/">The Echo</a>. Haunted Summer is a relatively new band, featuring John Seasons (ex-member <a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2010/06/seasons-53010-undercovered-ii-all-star.html">of</a> <a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2010/10/seasons-100210-12th-annual-eagle-rock.html">widely-covered</a> <a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2011/05/seasons-52011-caseys-irish-pub-los.html">on</a> <a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2011/08/seasons-70911-satellite-los-angeles-ca.html">here</a> <a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2012/03/photo-recording-la-apologies-for-lack.html">band</a> <a href="http://www.seasons-band.com/">Seasons</a>) and Bridgette Eliza Moody, and is self-described as "spooky, eerie, experimental, and psychedelic" - a perfect fit for the evening's set of Animal Collective covers. Haunted Summer is currently their debut E.P. due to be released later this year, and will be featured in an upcoming interview on <a href="http://radiofreesilverlake.typepad.com/">Radio Free Silverlake</a>.

Last month, <a href="http://www.themonolators.com/">The Monolators</a> opened the third night of <a href="http://henryclaypeople.com/">The Henry Clay People's</a> tenth-anniversary/"farewell" Monday night December residency at <a href="http://satellitela.com/">The Satellite</a>, and played what might be their second-to-last show before going on an indefinite hiatus (noticing a trend here) The summery of the reasons for this decision can be read <a href="http://monolators.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-talk.html">here</a>, but in short, current drummer Ray is leaving to pursue other opportunities, and as result, this would leave The Monolators as a two-piece band, and it was decided that it would be best to "put the Monolators on hold" in light of his departure.<br />
<br />
So, this was obviously a very special show, if not only for the reasons stated above, but also the setlist. Ranging the gamut from one of their newest tracks "Covering Up" (produced for the <a href="http://monolators.bandcamp.com/album/ten-years-of-tears">Ten Years of Tears</a> "best of" retrospective tape) to, in the spirit of the season, "Hot Sleigh" (originally available on the 2008 <a href="http://www.themonolators.com/blog/2008/11/plastic-snow.html">Plastic Snow</a> compilation mix) Setlist below:<br />
<br />
<br />
"Introduction"<br />
Strawberry Roan<br />
Covering Up<br />
Hot Sleigh<br />
Such A Fool<br />
14 Degrees<br />
Love Don't Love Me<br />
Don't Dance<br />
"Banter"<br />
5001<br />
Pickup Ford<br />
Let’s Be Best Friends In Space<br />

Yes, I know - our last post was in September. Life got more complicated and busier than we thought it would be; thus, nothing until now. So, as of now, Recording L.A. isn't completely dead, it's just been on an extended, unintentional hiatus.<br />
<br />
Now, what does that mean for the future of Recording L.A.? Well, I'm not exactly sure - admittedly, for myself and other contributors, going to concerts has taken a backseat in life priorities as of late. To be perfectly honest, running this blog is a lot of work - not only do we have to go and record the shows themselves (not an easy task considering how "unfriendly" most concert environments are), the recordings have to be transferred, mastered, tracked, have to undergo setlist/song identification (this particular task is one of the hardest and longest ones), converted, uploaded, researched, have posts put together, create streaming samples of, promoted - each post represents at least a few hours of work. We receive no real compensation for this either.<br />
<br />
So, this blog is at a bit of a crossroads. One idea I've been toying with is moving it to a new, easier-to-deal-with, smaller format (ex. tumblr) because that seems to be where most music blogging and writing is heading. Obviously, this is all in the beginning stage, I'll hopefully get things rolling in the next few weeks - we do have a small backlog of recordings that need to be posted.<br />
<br />
Again, to whomever is reading this, thank you for your patience - again, we aren't dead, just "resting."<br />

Earlier this month, <a href="http://sweatergirlsband.bandcamp.com/">Sweater Girls</a> opened for <a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2012/08/seapony-81912-echo-los-angeles-ca.html">Seapony</a> at August 19th installment of <a href="http://parttimepunks.com/">"Part Time Punks"</a> at the <a href="http://attheecho.com/">The Echo</a> in Los Angeles. We weren't terribly familiar with Sweater Girls before this night's performance (though, the name did ring a bell), but we were pleasantly surprised by their brand of indie pop twinged with punk. They have recently released their first full-length LP <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Were-Here/dp/B008SDSLF2/ref=sr_shvl_album_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1346367480&sr=301-3">Were Here...</a></i>, several songs from which were showcased in tonight's set. Setlist below:<br />
<br />
Sticks and Stones <br />
<br />
Haven't Got a Clue <br />
Fast Forward Time <br />
Fingers Crossed <br />
I'm a Little Dinosaur <br />
Infatuation <br />
Curry Crazy <br />
Pretty When You Smile <br />

This past Sunday night, <a href="http://www.hardlyart.com/seapony.html">Seapony</a> headlined <a href="http://attheecho.com/">The Echo</a>'s weekly "<a href="http://parttimepunks.com/">Part Time Punks</a>" series. Seapony's music, mainly their 2011 debut release <i><a href="http://seapony.bandcamp.com/album/go-with-me">Go With Me</a>, </i>has been in heavy rotation at Recording L.A. headquarters for quite some time, and we were happy to see the Seattle-based band back in town after touring here almost a year ago (we caught their in-store set at <a href="http://www.origamimusic.blogspot.com/">Origami Vinyl</a>) - so, this show was quite a treat. Featuring a mix of older songs and new ones from their upcoming LP <i><a href="http://seapony.bandcamp.com/album/falling">Falling</a>, </i>the show was a great showcase of their "new-wave shoegaze"-type sound, capped off by an encore of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Field_Mice">The Field Mices</a>' "<a href="http://www.last.xn--fm%20%20the%20field%20mice%20%20tracks-nu2xya/">Emma's House</a>." (P.S. - if you like what you hear here, I encourage you to check out the releases from their old band <a href="http://transmittens.bandcamp.com/">Transmittens</a>) Setlist below:<br />
<br />
Sailing<br />
<br />
So Low <br />
I Really Do <br />
Be Alone <br />
No One Will <br />
Prove to Me <br />
Blue Star <br />
Sunlight <br />
Dreaming <br />

It's been a long time since we last wrote about <a href="http://www.jescahoop.com/">Jesca Hoop</a> - well, <a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2011/01/jesca-hoop-11211-hotel-cafe-hollywood.html">January 2011</a> as a matter of fact. In the ensuing time, Ms. Hoop released her third full-length album <i><a href="http://jescahoop.11spot.com/index.php">The House That Jack Built</a> </i>back in June, and is currently finishing up a mostly West Coast-area tour to promote it. Tonight's stop at <a href="http://zoeyscafe.com/index.cfm">Zoey's Cafe</a> in Ventura was a very intimate one with a crowd of approx 30-40 seated people, and highly reminiscent of her <a href="http://www.hotelcafe.com/">Hotel Cafe</a> shows of yesteryear. While her current tour does feature a band, tonight's show only consisted of Jesca on guitar, with <a href="http://lesliestevensandthebadgers.com/">Leslie Stevens</a> (of L.A.-favorites <a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2009/10/leslie-and-badgers-100309-11th-annual.html">Leslie and the Badgers</a>) providing background vocals on most of the songs performed. As one of Ms. Hoop's mentors <a href="http://www.tomwaits.com/">Tom Waits</a> has said in the past, "her music is like going swimming in a lake at night," and with this show we are inclined to agree. Setlist below:<br />
<br />
D.N.R (song incomplete, fades-in due to battery swap)<br />
<br />
Whispering Light <br />
"Banter" <br />
Murder of Birds <br />
Hospital (Win Your Love) <br />
The Kingdom <br />
"Storytime" <br />
Born To <br />
Dig This Record <br />
"Banter" <br />
The House That Jack Built <br />
Tulip <br />
"Banter/Improv song" <br />
Peacemaker <br />

This week, we are showcasing a <a href="http://www.walkingsleep.com/">Walking Sleep</a> show from our archives that took place a couple of years ago at <a href="http://www.laparks.org/pershingsquare">Pershing Square</a> in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. It's been quite awhile since we've posted anything about Walking Sleep - we caught them at the <a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2010/11/walking-sleep-100210-12th-annual-eagle.html">2010 Eagle Rock Music Festival</a> and saw them at <a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2011/01/monolators-10411-labries-glendale-ca.html">one of the </a><a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2011/01/monolators-11111-labries-glendale-ca.html">January 2011</a> <a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2011/02/monolators-12511-labries-glendale-ca.html">LaBrie's</a> (R.I.P.) <a href="http://www.themonolators.com/">Monolators</a> shows (recording not posted due to quality control issues) In the meantime, they did release last year <a href="http://walkingsleep.bandcamp.com/album/tarp-sessions"><i>Tarp Sessions</i> </a>(a compilation of E.P.'s that were literally recorded at a downtown tarp factory), of which a few of the songs were previewed at this performance.

Last Friday, <a href="http://www.littleredlung.com/">Little Red Lung</a> headlined the <a href="http://www.centerartseaglerock.org/">Center For The Arts Eagle Rock</a> (openers Pisces previously posted about <a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2012/06/pisces-62212-center-for-arts-eagle-rock.html">here</a>) for a celebration of the the release of their new music video for "50 Fingers" (screened before the performance) As the reader may recall, we <a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2012/02/little-red-lung-13012-echo-los-angeles.html">covered Little Red Lung back in January</a>, which we thought was quite a good show - and tonight's was no exception, featuring an "extended" set that showcased material from their <a href="http://littleredlung.bandcamp.com/">debut self-titled E.P.</a> and newer material, along with the addition of several musicians, adding more layers to their live performance. Feed Your Head had <a href="http://feedyourheadtoday.blogspot.com/2012/06/little-red-lung-pisces-and-tonight.html">an excellent write-up</a> on the show as well. Setlist below:<br />
<br />
<br />

Last Friday, Pisces (the side-project of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/happyhollows">The Happy Hollows </a> front-woman Sarah Negahdari, which includes the members of that band) opened for <a href="http://www.littleredlung.com/">Little Red Lung</a> at the <a href="http://www.centerartseaglerock.org/">Center For The Arts Eagle Rock</a>. Both bands were celebrating releases - for Pisces, it was their debut E.P. <i><a href="http://piscesmusic.bandcamp.com/">Flower Toes</a>. </i>Awhile back, we did a post on <a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2010/04/sarah-negahdari-and-sad-solids-80808.html">Sarah Negahdari and the Sad Solids</a>, which could be seen as a previous incarnation of Pisces (some of the songs are the same) For more on the show, check out <a href="http://feedyourheadtoday.blogspot.com/2012/06/little-red-lung-pisces-and-tonight.html">Feed Your Head's excellent review</a>.

In our final post (?)<a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2012/06/correatown-61612-make-music-pasadena.html"> in our</a> <a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2012/06/one-trick-pony-61612-make-music.html">coverage</a> <a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2012/06/judson-61612-make-music-pasadena.html">of 2012</a> <a href="http://makemusicpasadena.org/">Make Music Pasadena</a>, we present <a href="http://pageantsmusic.com/">Pageants</a>, the duo of former <a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2009/04/avi-buffalo-32909-university-of.html">Avi Buffalo</a> member Rebecca Coleman and Devin O’Brien, (though, this evening's show had an the addition of a drummer, thus making it a "trio") who describe their music as <a href="http://pageantsmusic.com/about/">"reflect[ing] the laid-back, sun-drenched attitude of their hometown while maintaining a pathos that stems from quiet introspection" with "a sound that’s effortless and ethereal</a>," and also earning high praise from <a href="http://www.kcrw.com/">KCRW</a> in the form of <a href="http://blogs.kcrw.com/musicnews/2011/12/pageants-local-band-we-love/">"gorgeous soaring vocals with a familiar garage-y sound" and "layers of mellow guitars, hooky melodies and Coleman’s infectious croon."</a> Good enough for us.<br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">This show took place in a crowded, noisy, somewhat boomy room, and the recording may reflect that. Setlist below:</span><br />

Deep Ring <br />

Most of today's set was taken from their December 2011 full-length release <i><a href="http://judson.bandcamp.com/">Drink the Wine</a>.</i><br />
<br />
For our L.A. readers, Judson is performing tonight at the <a href="http://www.troubadour.com/">Troubadour</a>, along with <a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2010/07/tenlons-fort-63010-spaceland-los.html">Tenlons Fort</a> and <a href="http://torchesmusic.com/">Torches</a>.<br />

Part two in a series.<br />
<br />
Continuing in our coverage of last weekend's annual installment of <a href="http://makemusicpasadena.org/">Make Music Pasadena</a>, we move along to <a href="http://onetrickponymusic.com/">One Trick Pony</a>, who performed in the middle of the afternoon. It's been quite awhile since we've caught One Trick Pony (outside of last year's <a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2011/07/tribute-to-movies-various-artists-62511.html">tribute to "The Movies"</a> and <a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2012/04/undercovered-iii-one-trick-pony-rob.html">Undercovered III</a> earlier this year), but this show did not disappoint. Since the former however, the band has released their first full-length album <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0053PS5AE/ref=dm_sp_alb">Try Not To Worry So Much</a>, </i>which has been described as <a href="http://exclaim.ca/Reviews/PopAndRock/one_trick_pony-try_not_to_worry_so_much">"deliver[ing] sharp lyrics and soft melodic vocals paired with louder instrumentation." </a> So, enjoy this show, which may contain references to a dead cat and forgotten merch. Sorry, no setlist.<br />

Last Saturday was the annual installment of <a href="http://www.makemusicpasadena.org/">Make Music Pasadena</a>, arguably the biggest outdoor music festival in the city (and certainly the least costly - several stages of music scattered throughout town going all day for free) We kick off our coverage with <a href="http://www.okcorreatown.com/">Correatown</a>, Angela Correa's band which has been a fixture in the local scene for some time, and has described itself as "reverberating layers of washy guitars, beautiful harmonies, growling fuzzed out analog synths and a melodious voice" that "has evolved into a lush and textured experience of melodic soundscapes." </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Today's performance mainly consisted of songs from her most recent release, 2011's <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pleiades/dp/B007RXU1XO/ref=sr_shvl_album_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1340166466&sr=301-2">Pleiades</a>, </i>with a new song "Distillery" debuted towards the end. A fun show for sure, including a "barking dog war" that popped up in between songs (which prompted some remarks from Ms. Correa herself) Setlist below:</div>

(I feel like a broken record for saying this, but once again, I must apologize for the long absence - I was swallowed up by academia and work. This will more than likely happen again in the not-to-distant future, but I promise to actually make note of it before it happens)<br />
<br />
Coming back from our unintentionally long hiatus, by request our first offering is a 2005 <a href="http://www.catpowermusic.com/">Cat Power</a> performance from the now-shuttered West Hollywood outpost of <a href="http://la.knittingfactory.com/">The Knitting Factory</a>. (and yes, it's pure coincidence that we are posting this just after <a href="http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2012/06/cat_power_relea_1.html">she had announced that her new album <i>Sun, </i>her first album of original material in six years, would be released September 4th</a>) It was a solo performance that was fairly typical of the the more "angsty" Chan Marshall period that ended up showcasing new material (at the time) and a few covers from the likes of the <a href="http://www.rollingstones.com/">Rolling Stones</a>, <a href="http://www.moby.com/">Moby</a>, <a href="http://www.bonnieprincebilly.com/">Bonnie 'Prince' Billy</a>, etc. The quality of the recording is not perfect by any means - due to the size of the sold-out crowd and the smallness of the venue there was some shuffling around, noise coming from the bar; however, it would definitely be considered a gem from the archives due to the rareness and uniqueness of the show itself.

The theme of Undercovered is L.A.-area bands (usually ones that have been featured on Radio Free Silverlake and thereabouts) covering other L.A.-area bands - which in the past has made for some pretty unique interpretations, and tonight was no exception.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><br /></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; ">With L.A.-bands covering each others work, there was some overlap with the performers themselves - both One Trick Pony and Rob Danson ( a last-minute addition) covered Rademacher (whose frontman Malcolm Sosa is one half of College Kids, who performed later in the evening). Manhattan Murder Mystery made three appearances (one in form of a frontman Matthew Teardrop solo song) although the band themselves was performing in Portland that night. Dawn of Sequins, a side project from The Monolators (who were originally going to perform as the latter, but their guitarist was injured from a bike accident and unable to participate) performed a "power-pop" version of "Behemoth" (from the <a href="http://recordingla.blogspot.com/2012/03/ema-and-ghosts-30312-home-room-los.html">recently-retired</a> Ema and the Ghosts) and had a rare vocal performance from Mary with Season's "Monday Night." College Kids gave a quiet and somewhat haunting set (Light FM's "Thrift Store Clothes" a nod to the Kim Haden's former band). The Californian closed out the evening with a markedly different set, representing a couple of currently-inactive bands (The Broken West and Benji Hughes) Fun evening, and we can't wait for the next one.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><br /></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; ">Download full show <a href="https://rapidshare.com/files/1359713457/undercoveredIII.at831_mp3_.zip">here</a>.

Lay Low is someone I've been listening to for awhile (she was on the same bill at a <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.jescahoop.com">Jesca Hoop</a> show I attended awhile ago, but I only saw a bit of her performance) but have not featured her until now. The on-stage moniker of Lovísa Elísabet Sigrúnardóttir, who, due to her Icelandic roots has been thought of as a "country/folkified Bjork," leans more towards a early <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.dollyparton.com">Dolly Parton</a> (she several of Ms. Parton's songs were covered by Lay Low on <a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Lay+Low/%C3%96kut%C3%ADmar">2008's Ökutímar soundtrack album</a>) </span></span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-style: normal; text-align: -webkit-auto; "><span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; "><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; "><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: -webkit-auto; "><span style="font-variant: normal; "><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; ">Being an opening set, it was fairly short, but comprehensive.
