Monday, September 8 - Silverlake Lounge - Free "I love your cornucopia of tunes. You are raw." - Devendra Banhart "Much like heroes Ryan Adams and Paul Westerberg, Armstrong’s earliest songs were an outlet for misunderstood and misdirected teenage angst that was channeled in the short-lived, all-female punk band, Leave It To Beaver. And while you won’t find even the faintest trace of those punk roots in My Imaginary Friend’s sublime piano-based musings, Armstrong has never relinquished her vigor and venom. She just betrays it sometimes with her delicate, indelible voice.It was that voice that made her the centerpiece of a successful jazz group in Charleston and landed her a gig opening for Ray Charles at the North Charleston Coliseum in 2002. It would take a surrender of sorts for Armstrong to come to terms with a musical influence she’d long pacified but now embraces: country music. Armstrong’s earliest country influence was actually her maternal grandfather, who was a banjo picker. “Over time it made me feel rebellious,” she laughs. “Reverse rebellion, against the cool kids listening to Sebadoh and Fugazi.” - Tight Gloves PR |

Thursday, September 11 - Silverlake Lounge - $8 "A clattering, caterwauling howl of L.A. blues as refracted through a battered prism of the Stooges' sludge-punk bloodbaths and indie-rock's wounded, smirking ache" -webinfront.com |
Thursday, September 11 - Tangier - $7 Whether you understand the words doesn't matter - the compositions have the power to drop your heart in a chord change, reminding you that angst and instability aren't just a rock & roll cliché but a crucial element of a good performance." - LA Weekly |

Sunday, September 14 - Tangier - $8 Twelve months and twelve albums later, Wood decided it was time to get out of the house.

Tuesday, September 16 - Silverlake Lounge - $8 Today though, she’s making waves on her lonesome. A self-produced, self-recorded album is set for a 2008 release and promises much. Highlight single and one part of a five track EP, Kiss Me Kiss Me, is a breathlessly intimate sketch on unconditional love that's drawn comparisons to June Carter, Kate Bush and the sun-drenched harmonies of Lennon and McCartney. B-sides Stuck In His Way and Half A Second swoon with intimacy and wide-eyed innocence, hinting at a work rate to match her creativity. But that’s just the half of it - there have been awards, too. Recent accomplishments include recognition as a new up and coming writer for '07 from The Songwriters Hall of Fame, the licensing of "Me and You" for the feature film "Fat Girls", and the award of 'Best Film Score' at the Long Island Film Festival for "Meg's Song," an independent feature starring Stella Keitel.” - Mojo |

Started in November 2006 by John Wood (Inara George, Willoughby, Mike Andrews, Kelly Osbourne), the series included an album recorded entirely on handheld cassette recorder, a collection of music videos, songs for an autobiographical musical written by a robot, and dozens of homemade electro-acoustic folk-pop anthems.
