Crustcake Picks - LA Shows 6/12 - 6/18

by beatmasterspeech (LA)

Beeeooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww is the sound of the doom string and it's the sound you will hear a lot when you go see a pretty stand up show at The Smell this Saturday. Ancestors, your favorite two keyboardist and gong-related psychedelic doom band, will be warming up The Smell for headliners and fuzz riff masters Earthless. One thing: The Smell does not have a liquor license, soooooooooooo... You shouldn’t be drinking for this kind of show anyways. Try an herbal remedy before you go in. $5 at the door. Beeeooooowwwwwwwwwwww!

Once you’ve harshed your mellow with Saturday night traffic, try driving in Sunday traffic to the Troubadour (Sunday traffic really ain’t much better than Saturday traffic). The Troubadour will play host to recently-hip to the hipsters Russian Circles and the always-fun-to-watch Daughters.

The last time I saw Daughters at the Troubadour, the vocalist made himself vomit a bit in his hand, finished the song, started the next, then slurped up the dripping puke from his hand. His expression did not change at all, but the slight smell of puke (I was up close) almost caused a chain reaction of puking in the venue. I admit, I dry heaved. Good Show. See if he does it again.
