Next gig: Brookdale Lodge, Brookdale, CA; Thursday, December 9, 2010
Notes: One of my fave bands to come out of the DIY scene at The Smell down in LA, No Age have never been anything but self-assured whether they're playing a warehouse gallery in Oakland or bringing Bob Mould onstage to cover Hüsker Dü at Noise Pop. I still wish I'd made it down to the Hollywood Bowl earlier this fall to see them open for Pavement and Sonic Youth, but Randy was doing a great job of channeling his inner Thurston Moore last night (I could literally smell the electricity rising off his pedals) and Dean was in awesome form too. They've been tossing around the idea of opening their own all-ages space in LA, and I would so send money to that Kickstarter project. Really really hope they do it.
Buy: Everything in Between (Sub Pop) and Nouns (Sub Pop)
