Tonight the Music Tapes, a NY-based experimental indie-pop project of Elephant Six member Julian Koster, will be performing at the Echoplex. LA's own indie rockers Saint Motel (LAist Interview) are slated to rock Spaceland. And, lastly, local country troubadour Mike Stinson will be headlining an early show at the Echo. But we strongly recommend heading over to All Star Lanes in Eagle Rock to catch the Flying Tourbillon Orchestra (LAist Review, #2). LAist favorites Marvelous Toy, Radars to the Sky (LAist Review, #2, #3, #4) and Death to Anders (LAist Review) are poised to kick off the show. more ›

Tonight LA-based free jazz outfit the Nels Cline Singers will be performing at Largo at the Coronet. Scottish rockers Glasvegas are slated to headline a sold-out show at the Troubadour. And, lastly, a handful of great locals, including Les Blanks, Death to Anders and the Soft Hands, will be rocking out at the rather drab bar Three Clubs in Hollywood. But we strongly recommend heading over to the Airliner in Downtown to catch Brooklyn-by-way-of-LA electronic maestro Eliot Lipp and his live band Lipp Service. more ›

Tonight the "Queen of Soul," Aretha Franklin, will conclude a two-night stint at the House of Blues Sunset. Old 97's front man Rhett Miller is stopping through the Largo at the Coronet. Swedish metal band In Flames will be shredding at Club Nokia. And, lastly, NY-based folk rockers O'Death are sharing the stage at Spaceland with some great local bands, Le Switch and Death to Anders. But we suggest plopping down at the newly renovated Hollywood Palladium to experience Of Montreal. The last time the prolific Athens-based indie pop act played here, nearly a year ago to the date, "I felt like I was tripping on acid." LA's own noise rock troupe HEALTH (LAist Review) will be opening. more ›

Mondays in LA are always good for free shows. Tonight we've got Hawthorne-born, San Pedro-based Dios (Malos) at Spaceland. LA-based singer-songwriter Devon Williams and Anaheim's own power pop act Thee Makeout Party will be opening. Also, Death to Anders and Rademacher will be playing at the Echo. Tonight will conclude the month-long Monday Night Residency for both artists respectively. However, we suggest you shell out the money to catch Calexico and the Cave Singers at the Henry Fonda Theater. The latter, a Seattle-based folk-rock group, will surely compliment the Southwestern vibes of the former. more ›
