Tonight legendary British/American rock band Fleetwood Mac will be headlining the Staples Center in Downtown. Claremont-bred singer-songwriter Ben Harper is poised to headline the Wiltern with hometown heroes the Henry Clay People in tow. Cambridge-bred electro-pop outfit Passion Pit (LAist Review) will be performing to a sold-out crowd at the Troubadour with Brooklyn-based indie rockers Harlem Shakes. And, lastly, Tulsa-based songstress St. Vincent will be gracing the El Rey Theatre with Philadelphia-based band of brothers Pattern Is Movement. But we strongly suggest heading over to Spaceland to catch former American Analog Set front man Andrew Kenny's latest project the Wooden Birds.
Tonight In Rock: Fleetwood Mac, Ben Harper, St. Vincent, Passion Pit, The Wooden Birds
Tonight In Rock: Neil Diamond, Stars, Sloan, Pattern Is Movement
LA will simply be bombarded with music tonight. On the agenda: We've got LA-based indie rockers One Trick Pony at Club Good Hurt. If you can get down with the notion of Venice Beach and bartenders clad in sexy nurse outfits, then head on out. The Québécois act Stars will be gracing the Avalon in support of their latest EP, Are You A Sad Robot?. The Diamond Cutter, otherwise known as Neil Diamond, will be performing all of his quintessential hits at the Hollywood Bowl. Bay Area punks Rancid will be continuing their six-night stint at the Henry Fonda Music Box. And Pattern Is Movement, a loopy and meticulous band from the City of Brotherly Love, will be hitting up Spaceland with LA locals the Minor Canon. But we propose that you take it easy on the wallet tonight by going to Tangier. Aaron Embry of AmniOn, a celebrated indie rock virtuoso, will be shelling out mellifluous strains with a backing band of friends. It's free, free, free!
