This is why all those party songs are written about Saturday nights:

‣ Based on Friday night’s monstrous crowds, early arrival is recommended: Echo Park Rising roars into Day 2 at various venues throughout the neighborhood, with Peanut Butter Wolf and Myron & E topping the outdoor main stage at Taix, Together Pangea leading a great lineup at the Echoplex and Buzz Bands LA hosting 10 bands in the Taix Champagne Room. For our video du jour, we picked one of the local bands playing EPR, Line & Circle (1:10 p.m. at the Echo). Oh and Crystal Antlers are a last-minute add to the lineup (2:50 at the Echo.) [Set times here.]
‣ Holy Ghost!, De Lux, Avid Dancer, Cherry Glazerr, Poolside and Miami Horror highlight the lineup at the Pacific Festival at Newport Dunes. [Set times at the end of this post]
‣ The legendary Smokey Robinson holds forth at the Greek Theatre.
‣ Texas’ leading man of honky tonk, Billy Joe Shaver, headlines the Satellite, supported by the Americans.
‣ Portland’s the Helio Sequence and New Zealand’s Liam Finn [see his new video here] team up for a show at th Roxy Theatre, with Derrick Brown also playing.
‣ Boston ska veterans the Mighty Mighty Bosstones headlines the Fonda Theatre, supported by the Interrupters.
‣ And there’s another great night of free music at Grand Performances at California Plaza, this one of the Americana variety. Folk-rockers Miner headline behind their new album “Into the Morning,” with the Eagle Rock Gospel Singers supporting.
