Tonight LA-based DJ collective the Glitch Mob (LAist Review) will be headlining the Music Box. Spanish electro pop outfit Delorean are poised to ring in their third studio album, 2010's Subiza, at the Echo with Echo Park-bred bilingual, genre-bending quartet Wait.Think.Fast..

But we strongly suggest heading over to the Troubadour to catch the City of Brotherly Love's own folk-infused indie rockers Good Old War, who are touring in support of their second self-titled studio-album.
