'THE BOOK OF LIZ' @ 2ND STAGE THEATRE

If you’re part of a writing duo called The Talent Family, it goes without saying that you’ve probably popped out some good stuff.

Perhaps that’s why The Blank Theatre Company chose to stage "The Book of Liz," a play from the witty and slightly warped minds of siblings Amy and David Sedaris, otherwise known as The Talent Family.

Amy, who writes the Comedy Central hit "Strangers with Candy" and stars as Jerri Blank, and David, the bestselling author of such novels as Me Talk Pretty One Day and Naked, collaborated on this offbeat, fish-out-of-water tale of unique characters – and some damn funny one-liners.

2nd Stage Theatre is located at 6500 Santa Monica Blvd. (between Highland and Vine at Wilcox), in Hollywood. Show times: Thu.-Sat. 8 p.m.; Sun. 2 p.m., 7 p.m. Price: $25. To purchase tickets, call (323) 661-9827 or visit www.theblank.com/mainstage.

LIVE MUSIC SPOTLIGHT: BRANDI CARLILE
July 22 @ the Roxy


Authentic. That's the first word that springs to mind when you encounter Brandi Carlile. From her rootsy bell-clear voice to the palpable emotion that seeps through every song on her stunning debut album, everything about this 23-year-old from rural Washington state is the real deal.

Think of a female Roy Orbison or Radiohead's Thom Yorke fronting a roots-rock band and you're not far off. The contrast led Rolling Stone, which named her one of their 10 Artists to Watch in 2005, to declare: "Carlile's ethereal, melancholy ballads have a spare heartache that reflects her love for old-school country…but she loves new-school mopers like Radiohead and Jeff Buckley just as much". Indeed, those artists' influence can be felt on the simple, acoustic strummers "Happy", "Gone" and "Tragedy". Other musical stand-outs include "Throw It All Away" and "Fall Apart Again".

The Roxy is located at 9009 W. Sunset Blvd. in West Hollywood.For tickets additional information, visit www.brandicarlile.com.

LIVE CONCERTS AT AMOEBA: KNEEBODY
Saturday, July 23 @ 2 p.m.

Their self-titled debut is out now on Greenleaf Music.

“... mixes funky, off-tempo beats with the bouncing melodies of saxophones, trombones, keyboards and sonic bass lines.” - New Times

LIVE CONCERTS AT AMOEBA: ANDREA ECHEVERRI
Sunday, July 24 @ 2 p.m.

The lead singer of Aterciopelados will be playing songs from her self-titled solo debut.

Echeverri “branches off from the Grammy-winning Latin alternative-rock duo, to deliver a lush, sensual collection inspired by her recent passage into motherhood. The sometimes intoxicating and aggressive anthems of her earlier works have given way to ethereal electronica and softly rocking lullabies that show off the subtly powerful voice of this Colombian vocalist. “ - SF Gate

Catch Andrea Echeverri when she performs at Amoeba Records in Hollywood, located at 6400 Sunset Blvd., at 2p.m. For more information, visit www.nacionalrecords.com or www.amoebamusic.com.

BASQUIAT @ MOCA

Don’t let the pretentious name fool you. Basquiat, subject of the Julian Schnabel film of the same name, began as a street artist living in a cardboard box in New York’s Thompkins Square Park. A perfect fit for the artistic scene still evolving here in Los Angeles, Basquiat became known for covering walls in SoHo and subway cars – signing his work "SAMO©" (for "same old shit") – with crowned icons of the urban, sports and music legends of the African-American community.


A delicious sampler platter to Basquiat’s existence, the exhibition also features the artist channeling Da Vinci, Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse, in showcasing his entire Daros Suite, a series of 32 drawings seen for the first time in the United States. That’s right – not even your East Coast pal’s pretentious parents will be able to one-up you here.

MOCA Grand Avenue is located at 250 S. Grand Ave., in downtown Los Angeles. For more information, call (213) 626-6222 or visit www.moca.org.

LIVE MUSIC SPOTLIGHT: ROBBERS ON HIGH STREET & BRENDAN BENSON
July 19 @
the El Rey

Unlike that girl who didn’t call you back after that great night at the bar last week, the Robbers are more than a one-night stand; they consistently produce solid tunes and enjoyable sets.

Benson is the new indie golden boy. With guitar work that’s a little bit folk and a little rock ’n’ roll, he seems to incorporate every influence since 1962 into his music.

Both of these bands are acts that you will hear a lot more about and much more from in the coming years. Check them out at this awesome venue before they start playing arenas.

Catch Robbers on High Street and Brendan Benson when they play at the El Rey, located at 5515 Wilshire Blvd. in Los Angeles. For more information, visit www.robbersonhighstreet.com or www.brendanbenson.com.
