?Tis the season to be giving, sharing, laughing and caring ? and we?ve got all that and more in our choice of concert picks. Not that this really differs from any other time, really; it?s just got that extra special holiday shine/warm fuzzy feeling that only a ticket could buy. Or something. Anyway, if only to further the holly jolly factor, we are all for you red-nosing our picks for you this weekend. Check them out below?
- Oh Land | Friday, December 16 | 8:00 pm | All Ages | $17 | El Rey Theatre, Los Angeles, CA ? Map | Oh Land, aka Nanna Øland Fabricius, Danish Jill of all trades, has been on our (and likely everyone else?s radar) for the better part of the year. Her latest album, self-titled, is a veritable pop paradise, but doesn?t leave us covered in too-sticky sweet and loathing ourselves the next morning. She seems to understand the importance of a strong foundation of good songwriting, which is and will keep her propped up in the industry for years to come. Seriously, anyone would be a fool to suggest otherwise. With K. Flay ? Buy Tickets
- Seranades | Friday, December 16 | 10:30 pm | 21+ | $10 | Mercury Lounge, New York, NY ? Map | There?s something awesome about duos that can do most everything with four hands instead of the ?usual? ?band-approved? eight hands. What can we say; fabulousness comes in many forms, one of them being Seranades. The Stockholm, Sweden-based twosome makes their stateside debut with the Come Home EP features a hybrid of electronic elements and ambient undertones without the blatant shock and volt factor. Subtlety reigns supreme with the pair, a trait necessary for lasting and effective songwriting ? something they already seem to be well aware of. With Parlovr ? Buy Tickets
- Defeatist | Saturday, December 17 | 8:00 pm | All Ages | $7 | Death By Audio, Brooklyn, NY ? Map | Funny, they don?t sound at all accepting of failure to us at all? at all. With their rolling rhythms, bold vocalizations, and we would pin them something completely different. Whatever the resulting affect, the New York-based grindcore band is sure to have your blood pumping extra speical hard for one reason or another. Their latest album, Tyrrany of Decay, was released this past September. With Triac, Psychic Limb, Disciples of Christ, Backslider.
- DIR EN GREY | Sunday, December 18 | 6:30 pm | $29.50 in advance, $32 day of show | House of Blues, Chicago, IL ? Map | Another long-standing band, Japanese metal rock group DIR EN GREY has been on the scene for over fourteen years, with the same members, a diverse sound, and eight albums to show for it. Their latest, Dum Spiro Spero, was released this past August, and we just appreciate that out of all the venues, cities, and countries around the world that the multi-faceted band has toured recently, they?ve decided to drop in on us. With The Birthday Massacre ? Buy Tickets
- Her Space Holiday | Saturday, December 17 | 8:30 pm | 21+ | $12 | The Satellite, Los Angeles, CA ? Map | Aka Marc Bianchi, the indietronic genius is playing a series of final shows on the Final Tour as Her Space Holiday ? a bittersweet time for long time fans from 1996 onward. And yet, a chance for one to say they were there during the final moments of quite likely the most influential, hardworking indie rock musicians and remixers of the era. Gotta hand it to the relatively one-man show who knows the value of a good band, good sound, and fan appreciation. Cheers to whatever follows. With Silver Swans, City Light ? Buy Tickets
Those are our picks and we?re sticking to ?em. Who?s on your To See List this weekend?
