Girls will be performing tonight at Spaceland | Photo by Sandy Kim via Girls' Myspace
Our Pick: Los Campesinos!, Girls, Ramona Falls @ El Rey Theatre
Tonight, as always, local multi-instrumentalist/producer extraordinaire Jon Brion (LAist Interview, #2, Review) will be jamming with friends at the Largo at the Coronet. Legendary Tacoma-based garage rockers the Sonics will be headlining the Echo with none other than Costa Mesa-bred rockers Japanese Motors in tow. And, lastly, Charlotte's own prolific indie pop singer-songwriter Benji Hughes is poised to grace Spaceland with Beck bassist B.R.A.M. for this year's Sunset Junction Pre-Party. But we strongly suggest heading over to the El Rey Theatre to catch San Francisco-based alt pop act Girls, who will be kicking things off for Welsh pop band Los Campesinos! LAist favorites Ramona Falls, a splinter of Portland-based indie rockers Menomena, will also be performing.
You can find these listings as well as the rest of the week's in our weekly Week In Rock post, which goes up every Sunday.

Is that Muni?
Or if you want to save some money
Cold War Kids is playing a free outdoor concert tonight in Long Beach with some other local bands:

Looks like a fun event since local bands compete for the opening slot by Busking on the streets of Long Beach for wooden nickels.
Muni indeed! And AlyC, noted!
