Tonight prolific Nebraska-based indie rockers Cursive will be performing at Spaceland. NY/LA-based folk troubadours Elvis Perkins in Dearland are poised to headline the Troubadour. And, lastly, Highland Park's crown jewel, psych rockers Bodies of Water will be rocking out at Echo Curio. But we strongly suggest heading over to Redwood Bar & Grill in Downtown to catch folk rock singer-songwriter and ex-Golden Palomino, Syd Straw (LAist Interview). more ›

Tonight the Echo will be hosting its usual Part Time Punks extravaganza with Rainbow Arabia headlining the bill. OC garage-rockers the Growlers are slated to perform at the rather posh Cinespace. And, lastly, English psych-pop outfit Yeti will be rocking the Viper Room. But we strongly recommend heading over to the Smell, where Highland Park's own indie rockers Bodies of Water are purportedly playing their last show for a while. more ›

Tonight LA's own all-girl rock troupe the Donnas (LAist Review, #2) will be performing at the House of Blues Sunset. The hole-and-corner Pehrspace is slated to play host to a Post Christmas Caroling Party. And, lastly, a bunch of rollicking noise-infused acts will be coming through the Smell, including locals Nephews and Knight Rider. We're fresh out of suggestions for tonight though! more ›
