Tonight Grammy-nominated Tennessee-based pop punk outfit Paramore will be headlining the Hollywood Palladium with Nashville's own electro-infused indie rock quartet Paper Route and Michigan-based punk outfit the Swellers in tow (Postponed!). English garage rockers the Horrors are poised to take on the El Rey Theatre with none other than Costa Mesa-bred rockers Japanese Motors. And, lastly, Seattle-based folk maestros the Cave Singers will be performing at the Echo with Vancouver-based folk rockers Lightning Dust and Foreign Born side-project Big Search. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Troubadour to catch Swedish multi-instrumentalist Loney Dear (LAist Interview). LAist favorites, Swedish singer-songwriter Anna Ternheim and New York's own shoegaze queen Asobi Seksu are slated to kick things off. more ›

Tonight Seattle-based garage rockers Murder City Devils will be concluding a two-night stint at the Henry Fonda Music Box with local duo Tweak Bird. English indie rock outfit Mystery Jets are poised to play Spaceland for this week's edition of Club NME. And, as mentioned previously, Long Island-based pop rockers As Tall As Lions will be headlining the Troubadour for free if you're legal. But we strongly suggest doing whatever it takes to get into the Orpheum Theatre in Downtown to catch Chicago's crown jewel, Mr. Andrew Bird. The classically trained violinist will not only mystify you with an unparalleled proficiency, but also a very singular, songbird-esque trill. Sweden's own multi-instrumentalist Loney Dear (LAist Interview) is slated to kick the show off. more ›

The name Loney Dear refers to the word "lone" which is an ode to the long nights he spent on his own recording his albums. more ›
