Price: Free

We’ve already logged a hearty endorsement for Sweaters’ ongoing residency at Spaceland, so suffice it to say that you will fall in love with their winning mix of soulful rock ‘n’ roll and high energy pomp. Time to meet the rest of the gang. L.A.’s own Black Iris, a commercial music house with a budding label (White Iris), is mobilizing the gang for a Xmas celebration, indie rock style.

The Dead Trees split time between So Cal and Portland and have worked as the backing band to Strokes offshoot Little Joy (the band, not the bar). Their own tunes are a mix of clean garage rock, Pavement-like slack ‘n’ jangle, and upbeat pop classicism. El Sportivo’s story is a little harder to pin down, if not downright incredible. We don’t mind, of course, as long Fool’s Gold and Foreign Born man Lewis Pesacov is masterminding the project, which appears to be a collective of very able musicians turning out smoky, easy going rock grooves of the Fleetwood Mac variety.
