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.

Tonight local indie rockers the Voyeurs will be ringing in their debut full-length at the Echo with LAist favorites the Monolators (LAist Review, #2), Go West Young Man and Les Blanks. Hawaiian-born singer-songwriter Sara Lov will be concluding her month-long residency at Spaceland with B.R.A.M. Rainbow^Arabia are slated to perform at the Airliner with Hecuba and We Are The World. And, lastly, the little Brooklyn-based indie rock outfit that could, otherwise known as the Honorary Title, will be headlining the Hotel Café. But we strongly suggest catching either one of Metronomy's (LAist Review) performances tonight. The exemplary English electro-pop trio will be thumping out a steady stream of synth lines and beats at both Temporary Spaces and Cinespace.

In honor of this momentous occasion—a newfangled regime and a new lease on life—LAist would like to extend a musical goodie bag of sorts. LA-based record label Vosotros has released their latest endeavor ¡YES WE PUEDE!, a compilation of local artists covering nationalistic public domain tunes in honor of today's Presidential inauguration. The free eight-song disc, released under a CC BY-NC license, features LAist favorites Obi Best (LAist Interview, Review, #2), weyou and Learning Music. After all, we all deserve a handful of sweet songs for roughing it the last eight years.
