hey! in the mood for Animal Collective but not willing to pay outrageous bigshot prices for traveling to wherever it is in the world that they are? great! have i got the show for you! tonight 60 Watt Kid plays the Echo with Best Coast and Gowns. they have plenty of good rapport about town for good live shows and stuff, and even a low-rent version of Animal Collective is still better than no Animal Collective.
here’s a video of their new single Ocsicnarf Nas from a recent performance at the Smell to give you a little taste. (i’m guessing they’re a little more exciting in person.) you can also check out the official video over at Stereogum who is aparently much cooler than us as it’s not yet available to stream from elsewhere. i thought we meant something to you, 60 Watt Kid.

Tonight head to Downtown Long Beach’s East Village Art District for some good ‘ol busking.

Beginning at 6pm local bands line the streets of downtown Long Beach to play 25 minute acoustic style sets while the audience stroll by (flask in pocket) tossing wooden nickles into performers’ guitar cases. Local bands include Free Moral Agents, Deep Sea Diver, So Many Wizards (check these guys out, I’m going to make it rain, uh, hail nickles on them), Chris Paul Overall, Pawn Shop Kings, Brook Lee Catastrophe, and 60 Watt Kid to name a few. At the end of the evening the band who has acquired the most wooden nickels will open for the Cold War Kids on the main stage. Attendees should get there at 6pm to collect the wooden nickles, maps and band schedules. Busking begins at 7pm, the second occurs at 7:30, and the last at 8pm. Cold War Kids begin their set at 9pm at the main stage on First and Elm Avenue. If you’re smart you’ll get there by bike (please reference ‘flask in pocket’ comment above *ed. note: you can still get a DUI riding a bike while intoxicated. WTTD releases itself of all responsibility at all times, however, so go ahead and get drunk and ride your bike. fuck if we care.) to score the free bicycle valet parking courtesy of Long Beach Cyclists.
