Rock Tonight: Fol Chen, Princeton, Castledoor, Kinky, Jim Henson, Rachel Yamagata, Ima Gymnist


 

Radio Free Silver Lake Presents: Let’s Independent w/ Amnion, Fol Chen, Princeton
@ Boardner's (free)

Local phenom Joe Fielder (Radio Free Silver Lake) unleashes another mega showcase at Boardners tonight.  His monthly offerings feel a bit like insider trading -- so good and pre-common knowledge that it must be illegal.  Like a sonic magic 8 ball of future success, Fielder curates another stunning lineup.  Plus, I have a crush on Princeton.  They’re like barely 21.  Maybe not even.  Yeah, so wrong. [LISTEN]

 

Black Moth Super Rainbow
@ The Knitting Factory

I really can’t tell you anything about this band except that the name reminds me of the Rainbow Monkey Sugar-Coated Kastle of Love, and for that, I am truly overjoyed.

 

Jim Henson's Commercials & Experiments
@ Silent Movie Theater [BUY TICKETS]

“A mind-blowing collection of shorts, crazy commercials, and other rarities from the Henson vault. Highlights include: an industrial film for Wilson's Meat that must be seen to be believed, commercials featuring the LaChoy Dragon, a full-body character that caused Frank Oz to swear off doing any others, animation utilizing techniques ranging from stop-motion to early computer animation, excerpts from The Cube and Youth 68, the two episodes Jim and company created for NBC's Experiment in Television, and a 35mm print of Time Piece, an Academy Award nominated 8-minute masterpiece that showcases Henson's talent for making music out of everyday sounds.” - says the press release.

 

Open Mic

At the space-age gas station at 8770 W Olympic.  WTF open mic at a gas station?  I’m so intrigued.  Standby for an undercover report…
