THIS WEEK IN LA: The Soft Pack, VV Brown, Patti Smith, Pink Floyd Experience

The Soft Pack 10 Release Shows In 1 Day This Sat. Jan 30th, 2010 We're back from an extended hiatus while we were out on the road!!! First things first - Beach House's amazing 3rd album "Teen Dream" is available NOW on Sub Pop. The album is already #10 on the iTUNES album chart! People seriously this record is a MUST LISTEN. Pitchfork even gave it a well deserved 9.0. I've listened to "Walk In The Park" at least 9 times today alone. Download "Norway" from the album in the side bar. Crystal Antlers - Tentacles from The Heap on Vimeo. Second - Crystal Antlers have a new video for their track "Tentacles." WATCH IT RIGHT HERE. Crystal Antlers are back in Southern California after pretty much a 1.5 years of straight touring. The band are working on writing and recording their sophomore album. Really excited to see how things progress. So many great shows this week including FYF Presents 10 shows in 1 day with The Soft Pack this Saturday Jan. 30th. Avi Buffalo will be playing with them at the FMLY Mansion in Venice at 1PM. THE SHOW IS FREE! For all the details on the other 10 shows follow FYFFest or The Soft Pack on twitter.
