Out & About: Week in Review
Glassnote Record's Two Door Cinema Club Arrive in L.A.
In its third week running, School Night! hosted by KCRW’s Chris Douridas at Bardot in Hollywood was packed for the L.A. debut of Two Door Cinema Club on Monday night. We saw fans and industry alike crowding the intimate space to catch the UK act who recently released their debut album stateside on Glassnote Records… Largo (At the Coronet) and punk-rock might seem like oil and water, but Joe Sib’s California Calling brought together the mixed masses for his one-man show. We ran into a number of folks out to see Sib’s “broken word,” including Foo Fighters axeman Chris Shiflett (who also performed an acoustic set), major league manager Missy Worth, APA uber-agent Corrie Christopher, filmmaker Paul Papadeas and rock-photog Lisa Johnson. Also seen on-hand for the night of stories from the former Wax frontman and current co-owner of SideOneDummy Records was Blondie drummer Clem Burke and Rancid’s Tim Armstrong… Check out a review of the show here… A tequila-fueled Cinco de Mayo consisted of a stop by the annual bash at the Velvet Margarita to pay respects to owners Ava and Carlos and put back a (few?) shots with legal-eagle Ian Friedman and Swinghouse’s Phil Jaurigui… Still exuding a healthy Patron afterglow 24-hours later, Thursday night included a drop by Space 15 Twenty to catch a set from L.A. band LINKS and chat with local tastemaker Kevin Bronson (Buzzbands.la) and Viper Room’s Sarah Berkowitz and Chelsea Schwartz, before heading to 3 Clubs to grab a drink with manager and indie-authority Jason Reynolds at The Rumble…
