Liars/No Age

This is sort of last minute. I'm going to try and make it short and sweet because it's really late and I shouldn't even be writing this.

Liars are coming off their eponymous fourth album, while No Age have created lots of excitement with their quality debut titled, Weirdo Rippers.

No Age is from Los Angeles and recently joined forces with countercultural publisher Arthur Magazine to present an "L.A. River Beautification Meeting," a.k.a. the band played by the river and everyone smoked lots of pot. No, but really, the purpose of the gig was to celebrate public space and nature among the urban sprawl. Too bad the rangers didn't see it that way. They saw to it that the celebration ended prematurely. Below is a clip of the show at its peak.



Liars and No Age will be playing together at Slim's tonight. The show is going to be fast and loud, so if that's not how you want to spend your Friday night then you'd be wise to skip this one. For the rest of you, the show will satisfy your craving for art-rock noise. Let's hope their shows are equally as impressive as their albums.
