• The Wildbirds and the Growlers, Detroit Bar, August 6, 2007

  The Wildbirds With their lean, snake-hipped, bejeaned bodies, lank hair and chiseled features, the Wildbirds have the classic 1975 rock look down pat. And their music follows suit: unapologetic rock and roll that screams Ford administration Rolling Stones/Aerosmith/Tom Petty. “421” is a hit single with the right monetary elbow grease behind it; “Shake Shake” will inspire much of its titular action; country-esque yearner “Suzanna” will cause a lot of lighter launching. All told, the

• RZA Off Wu-Tang Clan Tour

  Jason Handelsman reports on our sister paper Miami New Times' blog that Wu-Tang Clan mastermind/producer extraordinaire the RZA has left the tour. This is akin to Eye leaving the Boredoms or Keith Richards bailing on the Rolling Stones. It can't bode well for future dates on this current tour. As his departure is alleged to be partially due to financial disagreements, it seems relevant here to view the Wu's “C.R.E.A.M.” (Cash Rules Everything Around Me) video.

• Video Savant: The Verve's "Slide Away" & "All in the Mind"

  Back before they had to add “the” to their name, before they hit it big with “Bitter Sweet Symphony” (and drew the litigious attention of the Rolling Stones' former manager [Allen Klein, biggest asshole in the history of the entertainment industry] for a crucial sample in it), before lead singer Richard Ashcroft decided to embark on a terminally dull solo career, the Verve were among the world's finest space rockers. On the 1993 album A Storm in Heaven and the three EPs that preceded i

• John Van Hamersveld Saturday Night at the Lab

  Graphic Artist John Van Hamersveld will be making an appearance and signing copies of his art at the Lab tomorrow night from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Van Hamersveld's name might not ring a bell, but his artwork definitely will: concert posters and album art for Hendrix, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and many others; even the 1985 Olympics mural in Los Angeles and the signage for Fatburger. His most recognizable work—here in Orange County, at least—might just be the three-hued Day-Glo film poster

• Scott Sechman To Rock Renaissance Bistro Friday and Saturday

  Live music when dining can leave you cold or, worse, embarrassed (think maudlin violin players and shuffling trios of Christmas carolers).But if you enjoy the smooth sounds of 60s and 70s guitar classics, combined with a smoky voice, head down to Renaissance Bistro in Brea this Friday or Saturday night to hear Scott Sechman playing just outside. As Scott himself says, he's been around the block, but don't let that put you off: along with his usual fare (The Beatles, The Stones, Neil Young,

  It's not often that Pearl Jam, the Rolling Stones, No Doubt, U2, the Cure, the Dave Matthews Band and Bruce Springsteen perform a free concert in Long Beach. In fact, it's never happened. Unfortunately, you can add tomorrow as just another one of those days when that dream bill won't come to fruition.But what do you do when you can't see the real deal? Tribute bands. Yes, that's right, a bunch of groups with names that have something to do with the artists they cover are playing a free show in L
