Our Pick: The Big Pink, Crystal Antlers, IO Echo @ El Rey Theatre
Tonight the Swell Season, an indie folk duo formed by Irish musician Glen Hansard and Czech singer and pianist Markéta Irglová, will be gracing the Wiltern with Idaho's own pop folk singer-songwriter Josh Ritter in tow. New Orleans-bred indie pop act the Generationals are poised to perform at Spaceland, warming up the stage for Canadian indie pop outfit the Hidden Cameras and Guelph-based indie rock singer-songwriter Gentleman Reg. Local indie rockers Radars to the Sky will be ringing in their latest disc at the Echo with none other than Le Switch. But we strongly suggest heading over to the El Rey Theatre to catch London-based electro-infused rock duo the Big Pink. Long Beach natives Crystal Antlers (LAist Review) and LA-bred goth/dance-infused rock duo IO Echo are slated to kick things off.
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.

So it turns out that the new songs I hadn't heard from Io Echo were more dance-infused than the goth-infused ones I was used to. I did have plans for tonight, but they cancelled. Now to decide whether to go to the El Rey. I haven't had any tandoori tacos recently, and Cowboys & Indians might be as good a reason as any to go.
