Let's Independent w/ Eagle and Talon, Radars to the Sky, and the Prix April 24, 2007

LET'S INDEPENDENT! transplants another intriguing trifecta of emerging eastside bands to inland Hollywood.

Wild girls EAGLE AND TALON kick off the evening on the patio with what the Village Voice calls "artlessly jagged post-punk that's got fun it even when it's being serious." Taut beats and oddly-tuned guitars spar in decidedly un-ladylike fashion, with retro casios joining the fray. Kim Talon dances an entrancing tightrope between cool-eyed detachment and exploding mine field, always with sharply observed lyrics in tow. It's smart indie rock with balls... by girls. On at 9 pm SHARP. Followed by the wonderful 5-piece, RADARS TO THE SKY whose "fierce guitar riffs and rubbery propulsive bass lines" and energetic, pop-inflected vocals will get even the chairs and hipsters moving, and last but certainly not least, the "lovingly tousled pop" (LA Times) and undeniably infectious celebration rock of cheeky headliners THE PRIX (pronounced "pree") whose "DOWN with the folded arms!" mantra ought to be crowned Best Indie Rock Slogan of 2007.

Should be a dynamic night of the hot and nicely bothered, and this month it's 100% FREE (usually $8). Sponsored by Radio Free Silverlake with KXLU 88.9 fm and Sea Level Records.
