Tonight English retro-soul singer-songwriter Jamie Lidell will be performing to a sold-out crowd at the Troubadour. Oakland-based indie rockers Rogue Wave are poised to take on the El Rey Theatre, ringing in their latest endeavor—2010's Permalight. And, lastly, local classical-violinist-turned-singer-songwriter Emily Wells will be gracing Largo at the Coronet. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Bootleg Theater to catch one of Michigan's finest acts, experimental rockers His Name Is Alive. Silver Lake-based indie pop act Pepper Rabbit are slated to kick things off. more ›

Tonight UK-bred electronic mastermind Four Tet will be taking on Echoplex, ringing in his latest tour de force—2010's There Is Love in You.

And, lastly, English singer-songwriter Scoutt Niblett will be gracing Spaceland with LA-based garage rock outfit Dirt Dress.

The Getty Museum fires up its free music-spoken word-dance-etc. series on a new night: Saturday Nights at the Getty. (We guess that spending Fridays near the 405 wasn't a great marketing hook for traffic-plagued Angelenos.) more ›

Tonight Soviet-born pop folk singer-songwriter and pianist Regina Spektor will be headlining the Greek Theatre. Local country-infused folk, twin-sister duo the Watson Twins (LAist Review, #2) are poised to grace the Henry Fonda Music Box with none other than LA-based classical-violinist-turned-singer-songwriter Emily Wells. And, lastly, British rapper and 2009 Mercury Prize winner Speech Debelle will be performing at Spaceland, warming up the stage for eclectic Tel Aviv-based DJ crew Soulico.

And, lastly, local classical-violinist-turned-singer-songwriter Emily Wells will be gracing the Echo with none other than Washington-based indie rock act the Lonely Forest. But we strongly suggest doing whatever it takes to get into UCLA's Royce Hall to catch Portland-based indie rockers the Decemberists. 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. more ›

And, lastly, Austin's own indie rockers Loxsly will be performing at the Silver Lake Lounge. But we strongly suggest doing whatever it takes to get into the Troubadour to catch local noise-infused rock outfit HEALTH, who will be concluding their short-lived stint opening for NIN tomorrow at the Wiltern. LAist favorites, Culver City-based "Ambassador of Boogie Funk" DâM-FunK and Denver-bred experimental electronic musician Pictureplane are slated to kick things off. more ›
