Tonight Parson Red Heads front man Evan Way will be performing at the Echo with Fleet Foxes drummer J. Tillman and Foreign Born side-project Big Search. Local indie rockers Le Switch will be gracing Cinema Bar in Studio City. And, lastly, LA-based singer-songwriter Firs will be taking on the Silver Lake Lounge. But we strongly suggest heading over to Spaceland to catch Canadian indie rock quintet Mother Mother.
Tonight In Rock: Mother Mother, Evan Way, Le Switch, Firs
Sam Roberts Band and Mother Mother @ Troubadour, 3/25/09
Rock from the great cold Canadian north conquered the Troubadour Wednesday night, starting off with Vancouver's finest Mother Mother, who took the stage fronted not by one person or even two, but three lead singers.The most obvious of the three was the lead guitarist who looked like a cross between Billy Idol and a storm trooper (and I mean that in a good way) was also dressed in black with a red vest. He was flanked on either side by two women, played the keyboards and synthesizer respectively, looked terrific in their little black dresses.
Tonight In Rock: Lykke Li, The Last Shadow Puppets, Spinto Band, The Western States Motel
It's the first Monday of the month and thus we've got a bevy of new Monday Night Residencies. Local indie rockers the Western States Motel will be kicking things off at Spaceland. And WEAVE! will be embarking on their month-long residency at the Echo. Fresh off the heels of a record release party, LA-based the Monolators will grace the hole-and-corner Pehrspace. Delaware-based pop rock maestros the Spinto Band will be performing at the Echoplex with Scottish indie rockers Frightened Rabbit and one of our favorite local bands, Miniature Tigers (LAist Review). Lastly, Vancouver's own Mother Mother will be showcasing their disjointed yet entirely appealing tunes at the Silver Lake Lounge. But the lineup at the El Rey Theatre tonight is downright irresistible. Swedish songstress Lykke Li (LAist Review, #2) will be accompanied by not only SoCal mainstays the Mae Shi (LAist Interview, Review, #2) and Grand Ole Party (LAist Review, #2, #3), but also St. Albans own electro-pop act Friendly Fires (LAist Review).
Tonight in Rock in LA - Joseph Arthur, Sage Francis, Wolfmother, Kristin Hersh, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony
Wake Up Incerinate, The Soft Hands, Karabal Nightlife, Death to Anders @ Silverlake Lounge
