Tony from LAist letting you know that you have a hell of a town here. Not only did we get to see Slash last night in an amazingly intimate setting, but we also ran into some Oxfam kids who were spreading the good news while everyone was getting plastered. Now that's sacrifice. Below are some LA bands that we think you might like if you wanna check out what the West Coast has to...

Even though we are way way past school age, we still get a little melancholy at the close of summer. Fortunately, our friends across the -ist network know that the shenanigans don't need to end just because the big yellow buses are back on the roads. So, grab your sunscreen and your favorite hangover cure, as we take a tour of end of summer fun from -ist cities all over the damn place. SFist Tourist...
Wednesday at Red Eye Fly: South London's The Capes
Last week we finally acquiesced to peer pressure and signed up for one of them MySpace accounts, something which our friends had long promised would bring us untold fortune, prestige, and - on a not infrequent occasion - direct access to a cornucopian bounty of slutty hipsters. The redundancy of that last term aside, we did find ourselves, nary an hour into our grand new social experiment, face to cathode-ray-tube with a bevy of:
that venture faded away, an hour later we came across something far more interesting: The Capes. Hailing from South London, which has of late brought us such impressive acts as Bloc Party, Art Brut and M.I.A., these guys play a refreshing mash up of angular, throaty art-rock/post-punk. Some of their songs hearken to mind the wailing dissonance of Mission of Burma or Radiohead, while others remind us an awful lot of their Brooklyn contemporaries PAS/CAL. Either way they're a delectable dish of new-wave revivalism, which should satisfy many discerning palates. We're looking at you. Coincidentally, a band to whom they may credit their origins is playing Emo's the same night. And while we agree that it would be fabulous to relive the early eighties heydays with Jon King and his Gang of Four, those wanting to see what it all led up to might consider catching The Capes over at Red Eye Fly. Hell, the venues are so close you might as well do both. The Capes (Hard Soul Records)Wednesday, October 11
