Antony and the Johnsons with the LA Philharmonic at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, 10/14/08

A rugby body
Disproportionate cage for
Such delicacy.

Port at the Mint, 10/7/08

Die-hard superfans
Kept the room so full of noise
The band seemed to blush.

War Paint with Them Hills at the Troubadour, 10/3/08

War Paint

Sirens abundant
Paired well with visual art
Disarmingly cool

Them Hills

Love them some shoegaze!
An apparent legacy
Brought John Frusciante (!!!)

David Byrne at Humphrey's, 10/2/08

Rubber vertebrae
Allowed that slight body to
Compliment that voice!

The Flying Smolinskis at Table 10, 10/1/08

Brother, brother, pop
Mashin' up the sixties hits with
Smatters of polka.
