Sorry... Stone's gigs at Largo have been postponed.
I will let everyone know what's up when I head up there on the 28th to catch John Doe.
Bogus...
...
Hey all you Stone Gossard Fans in Los Angeles and vicinity...
Stone Gossard will be doing 2 small (and I mean small) gigs at the Largo at the Coronet in Los Angeles on March 11 and 12.
Largo is my favorite spot in Los Angeles to listen to live music. The policy of Largo is 'Respect the Stage'... your cell phones must be off... no texting bullshit while there is a performer on stage. No talking during a performance... if you have to talk about your bullshit mundane life with your simpleton friend who really doesn't give a shit about your mundane life... go out to the lobby and cackle al you want.
This policy gives the feeling that you are being entertained in your living room or the living room of the artist onstage.
Here are the specifics:
Who: Stone Gossard and Friends
Where: Largo at the Coronet (La Cienega Blvd. one block North of the Beverly Center)
When: March 11 and March 12
How Much: $25.00 U.S.
Tickets can be purchased on the Largo Phone line (310) 855-0350
Recording Policy:No Cameras!!! No Recording devices!!!
More info at http://www.largo-la.com
You will be removed from the tiny, tiny theater if you violate any of the policies... especially cell phone violations (and good fucking riddance!!!)
...
So, go check out Stone's little gig next month. I'll be there.
...
P.S.
If you want to save on parking (if you can't find a spot on the street... because you won't find a spot on the street) I park at the parking lot across the street from the Beverly Center and walk the 2 blocks to the theater. Cost is about $1.00 U.S. as opposed to the $8.00 you'll pay at the parking structure next door to the theater.

    What a cool sounding place!!! I wish more places had that kind of mentality about phones.

    Sadly I am no where near the LA area, otherwise I'd be there!

    I'm heading up to Largo on the 28th to see John Doe... if I remember... I will ask the owner and the doorman and the barkeep if they know (and will reveal) who the '& Friends' consist of. My guess... the same crew that did the Timberland Tree planting gigs... Hank Khoir Trio and that cute gal singer (Vince is too young to get into Largo which may still be 21 and over).

    very cool!

    There are some cool shows there....Ben Lee w/ Mandy Moore!

    I have yet to go to the new location...it was such a hassle to get into the old location unless you had a dinner reservation!

    Awesome! Wish I could see this show, but I'm on the wrong coast.

    Aimee Mann plays there.. so do the kids from Nicklecreek (including special guests such as Jackson Browne, Fiona Apple and Gillian Welch). And if you get a chance to catch Jon Brion... do it. Flight Of The Conchords, too.

    Perhaps they will be recording in LA around this time?

    see, I guess this is what happens when I move out of the LA area. dammit.

    I wonder if it's insane to drive down for this??

    Stone is going to be doing his new songs? (I would give my BF's left Nut to hear Cadillac live)

    I don't know if Largo has gotten their liquor license yet... the old Largo on Fairfax had a bar/restaurant. They moved to old bar over to the new location, but may not have their liquor license. Still, it is the only place in L.A. (besides, possibly, The Hotel Cafe) where it is possible for an artist to play onstage, un-miked. The atmosphere they create is unlike anything around... leastwise, in L.A. None of that annoying bar chatter... just the music coming from the stage.
    I'm hoping that Stone gets a good turn out... that'll hopefully mean more future bookings at my favorite music club.

    Me? I don't know--maybe if it was on a weekend I would go (I live about an hour from L.A) but I might want to check out Patton Oswalt in March. :P
    Looks like a really cool place....
    So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream

    I'd prefer this to the smoking bans everyone in the world is enacting. Cell phones are far more annoying than the smokiest bar I've ever been in.

    Gonna call up my cousin who lives in Los Angeles & see if he can make it next month! :)

    I went to a concert not long ago where the guy in front of me blocked almost the entire show becos he took about 900 pics with his phone, as well as videos. Surrounding me were dozens of people chattering nonstop on their cell phones, talking about where they were meeting for drinks, how to get laid, what joey told ricky about bobby and can you BELIEVE he said that? I can wash my clothes after, I can't get that show back.
