File Under: Stuff We Like – L.A. Edition

Tonight at The Echo catch local L.A. favorites HEALTH and Abe Vigoda…

Fresh out of the studio (their 2nd album Get Color is due out in the Fall) HEALTH is once again gearing up for tour across the U.S. and Europe.  Following from their string of dates with Nine Inch Nails and Of Montreal last year, expect big strides in ’09 from this band…  Supporters Abe Vigoda just released their new EP Reviver on L.A.’s PPM Records (the label started by Dean from No Age), which shows a move in the more conventional direction for the “tropical punk” band.  Both acts, though once considered “Smell bands” after the downtown L.A. venue, are now reaching fans worldwide.

Expect to see a packed house tonight…
