Tonight Québécois indie rockers Sunset Rubdown, which began as a solo project of Wolf Parade front man Spencer Krug, will be headlining the Troubadour. Local indie rock duo the Voyeurs (LAist Interview, Review) are poised to take on the Echo with none other than the Flying Tourbillon Orchestra (LAist Review, #2, #3). And, lastly, Highland Park-bred post-punk outfit Manhattan Murder Mystery will be taking on Bordello with the Health Club. But we strongly suggest heading over to Cinespace to catch British disco-infused rock trio We Have Band.

              

It may be months late, but Little Radio's weekly Summer Camp series finally returns on Sunday, August 16th, with performances by The Living Things, Har Mar Superstar, and Restavrant as well as DJ sets by Ana Calderon, Daisy O'Dell, and Clifton Weaver. Summer Camp runs every Sunday thereafter until September 20th. "That's three Sundays in August, then 3 more in September," according to Little Radio. "Let's just call it September Camp. New location, new pool, new turf. Same water slide and shennanigans!"

                      

On Saturday, locals The Monolators (MySpace) -- covered previously here -- celebrated the release of their new album at Spaceland (MySpace) in Silver Lake, along with Correatown (MySpace), You, Me, and Iowa (MySpace), and Summer Darling (MySpace).

Tonight LA offers a bevy of options that make our show-going brain hurt. We've got the conclusion of the usual free Monday Night Residencies. Kenan Bell will be performing one final night with the Morning Benders and White Arrows at Spaceland. Rademacher and the Western States Motel (LAist Interview) will be wrapping up shop at the Echo with One Trick Pony and Seasons. And Manhattan Murder Mystery will be doing the same with Princeton (LAist Interview) and Divisadero at Mr. T's Bowl. But we're going to try to tackle two shows. How? Well, we'll start things off in the heart of Downtown at the Smell with the jazz-infused pop rock group LAKE and then continue the rather tranquil evening over in K-town at R Bar with LA's own alt-rockers Everest, who will be playing around 9:30 PM. The secret password? "hilljack"

It's Monday and that means the lion's share of shows are free residencies. Fresno-based Rademacher will continue to rock over at the Echo. And LA-based new wave outfit Manhattan Murder Mystery will continue to croon at Mr T's Bowl. But we wholeheartedly suggest checking out Kenan Bell's Monday Night Residency at Spaceland. Our favorite two-man instrumental band El Ten Eleven, who are best known for the seldom-used guitar/bass doubleneck, will be opening up the show with wailing notes and disco beats.
