"Localchella" Shows Coming to San Diego in April

While the folks at Goldenvoice celebrate the second consecutive year of both Coachella weekends having sold out in the desert, there is plenty to get excited about here in San Diego. Playing back to back weekends has afforded those bands playing Coachella to book shows during their time off in between (weekends). Since most of the shows booked here will likely sell out, I thought a brief rundown would help those who are undecided purchase tickets while they are still available.

In order (by date) here are the shows...all shows are all ages unless otherwise noted...

April 11...Ben Howard @ Belly Up (21+)...tickets can be purchased here...

April 12...Kurt Vile @ the Casbah (21+)...tickets can be purchased here...

April 15...Foals @ Porter's Pub...tickets can be purchased here...

April 15...Wild Nothing, Little Green Cars @ Casbah (21+)...tickets can be purchased here...

April 16...Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds @ Balboa Theatre...tickets can be purchased here...

April 16...Youth Lagoon @ The Irenic...tickets can be purchased here...

April 16...Alt-J @ Belly Up (21+)...sold out...

April 17...Aesop Rock @ Belly Up (21+)...tickets can be purchased here...

April 17...Tegan and Sara with Stars @ Humphrey's Concerts by the bay...tickets can be purchased here...

April 17...The Faint @ Fluxx (21+)...tickets can be purchased here...

April will be an epic month, to say the least...see you at the show(s)!

KPRI Holiday Soiree: November 30 at Balboa Theatre

It's my favorite time of year when all the local radio stations put together their holiday concerts. I just updated details of FM 94/9's Holiday Hootenanny and I never got around to posting about KPRI's Holiday Soiree. This year their show has moved from Spreckels Theatre to Balboa Theater and features Fitz and the Tantrums, The Head and the Heart, and Mayer Hawthorne. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster and vary in price from around $40 to $113. You can skip the service charges by purchasing at the Concourse Plaza box office (1100 Third Avenue at B street, adjacent to the Civic Theatre).

91X is going to be announcing their Wrex The Hall lineup today at 8:10 am. It's taking place at Valley View Casino Center on December 10th & 11th and I can tell you that it took one quick Pollstar search to see that Airborne Toxic Event will be on the lineup for the first day. We'll know the rest in a couple hours.

Ryan Adams: Lucky Now

Tomorrow's the big Ryan Adams show and the release date of Ashes & Fire. The show is sold out but as always, I'm sure you'll be able to find some tickets outside of the show if you're willing to pay. Maybe I'll see some of you at the Lincoln Room before the show?

Ryan Adams: Ashes & Fire (Out October 11)

If you like to hear Ryan Adams rock, go check out III/IV on his SoundCloud and feel free to crank it up because the forthcoming (October 11) Ashes & Fire is not the record for you. But if you're like me, and your Ryan Adams collection goes back to Whiskeytown and you love all the sad bastard ballads more than the rockers, Ashes & Fire is your dream album. With 12 tracks, the record comes in around 48 minutes. Songs about being at the very end of your rope ("Save Me") and commitment ("I Love You But I don't Know What To Say") and being there for another person ("Come Home") are all there and completely relatable. These tracks are less countrified than Cold Roses or his work with The Cardinals, but still have familiar layers of pedal steel, piano, and organ while Ryan plucks his guitar to create a beautiful and emotionally raw record that keeps him firmly in place as one of my all time favorites.

Invisible Riverside by ryanadams

Lucky Now by ryanadams

Follow Ryan Adams and Pax-Am on Facebook. They've been releasing tracks, videos, and acoustic performances of some older tunes, all leading up to the release on October 11.

The record can be preordered here and will begin shipping on 10/6 and icludes a full record download the day of the release as well as entry into weekly drawings for bonus prizes. Ryan Adams performs at the Balboa Theatre on the day the record is released. The show is sold out, but you might wanna keep an eye out for production hold ticket releases the day before or the day of the show.

Ryan Adams Presale Kicks Off Today at 10am

Tickets for the Ryan Adams show I posted about on Monday go onsale officially this Friday, but for those of you paying attention, there's a presale that starts today at 10am. You can find the password, courtesy of KPRI, HERE. You might notice the note on the Ticketmaster event page "*THERE IS A 2 WEEK TICKETFAST DELIVERY DELAY*". Pretty sure that means that even if you buy tickets to print at home, you don't get a link for two weeks as a means to prevent scalping. Good on them.

Ryan Adams To Kick Off Tour In San Diego

Ryan Adams has been a pretty mysterious dude. I've been a fan since the first time I was introduced to Whiskeytown's Stranger's Almanac and got to see them at my first Casbah show. Maybe there's a certain sentimentality then, even when Ryan announces his last record ever or puts bizarre rap or metal albums online, or when he just gets kinda crazy on his Facebook wall, that the guy really can do no wrong for me. Once I put together a playlist of all the Ryan Adams material I have and I stopped after 267 songs.

Last week I got an advertising inquiry with the subject "Ryan Adams" and though I haven't heard back if they'll buy an ad (please, please buy an ad), it was my first clue that he'd be coming to town. I've been paying attention and in the past few weeks, Ryan announced a new record to be released on October 11, 2011, called Ashes & Fire. There's a full tracklisting posted on his Pax-Am label site.

From Ryan's Facebook:

New album is called "Ashes & Fire". It was produced by Glyn Johns ( rocknroll wizard & true gentleman). It has 11 songs on it. I played acoustic on all of them and sang and played live to tape. We recorded the album ALL 100 percent ANALOG ( 2" tape mixed to 1/4" ). A computer didn't touch this album. It has very few overdubs. I gave these songs the most consideration I have ever given and it is certainly the longest amount of time I've spent writing. It was made with total love. Very excited. XX

Today, various sources (Jambase, Consquence of Sound) around the web announced tour dates, kicking off October 11 at our very own Balboa Theatre.

My 35th Birthday is on September 28. Last year I got a big wet kiss from Conor O. I thought this year couldn't compete, but with all of this goodness coming up, I think 35 isn't looking so bad.
