Tonight local country-infused pop-folk act HoneyHoney (LAist Review, #2, #3) will be gracing the Hotel Café with none other than Long Beach-bred singer-songwriter Rocco DeLuca (LAist Interview, Review). LA-bred indie rockers the Minor Canon are poised to take on the Silver Lake Lounge. And, lastly, local electro-infused indie rock duo boxViolet will be performing at 5 Star Bar in Downtown. But we strongly suggest heading over to Spaceland to catch Echo Park-based indie rock act In Waves. Local shoegaze-infused rock duo-turned-quintet Seaspin are slated to kick things off. more ›

Tonight acclaimed Chicago-bred experimental post rockers Califone will be taking on the Hammer Museum. LA-based rapper Busdriver (LAist Review, #2) is poised to perform at the Airliner in Lincoln Heights. And, lastly, local prolific songwriter John Wood, who performs under the pseudonym Learning Music will be gracing the Silver Lake Lounge with none other than LAist favorite, Visalia-bred folk pop troubadour Nik Freitas. But we strongly suggest heading over to Spaceland to catch Brooklyn-bred electro-infused shoegaze outfit ZAZA, who will be performing for this week's edition of Club NME. LAist favorites, Echo Park-based indie rock act In Waves are slated to kick things off. more ›

Signal Hill opened the show with an impassioned instrumental set. Lush layering of clean plucking driven by busy bass lines and punchy drums comprise Signal Hill's sound. Crowd pleasers like 'This New Year's Absence' exuded unbearable pangs of passion. I haven't felt this moved by an instrumental band since Explosions In The Sky and the mere comparison speaks volumes about their worthiness. Signal Hill performs remarkably poignant instrumental rock that grasps your attention and never ceases to let go. more ›
