Red Cortez will be playing tonight at the Echo | Photo by Sonia Onate via Red Cortez's Myspace
Our Pick: Robert Francis (w/ Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters), Red Cortez, The Horse Thieves, Evan Way (of The Parson Redheads) @ The Echo (Free!)
Tonight "Santa Barbarian" pop songstress Katy Perry will be making her return to the Hotel Café with Meiko (LAist Review, #2, #3, #4) slated to open. LAist favorite Rocco Deluca (LAist Interview, Review) will be continuing his residency at Spaceland with Ida Maria and HoneyHoney (LAist Review, #2) opening. And, lastly, San Francisco-based rockers the Stone Foxes are poised to perform at the Mint. But we strongly recommend braving the Echo for Robert Francis (LAist Interview, Review), who will be backed by none other than Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins. Red Cortez, formerly known as the Weather Underground, will be kicking off the show.
