Tonight local multi-instrumentalist/composer Jon Brion (LAist Interview, #2, Review) will be jamming with friends at Largo at the Coronet. Brooklyn-based art rock quartet Ponytail are poised to headline the Echo. And, lastly, LA-based indie rockers the Amateurs, not to be confused with the band from the UK, will be ringing in their latest EP at Spaceland with fellow Los Angelenos the World Record. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Troubadour to catch Southern rockers Lucero. LAist favorites Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears are slated to kick things off. more ›

There are far too many good shows in LA tonight for any one music enthusiast. First and foremost, Bay Area indie rockers Facing New York and Orange-based Local Natives will be playing at the Troubadour. Sweden's own Graveyard will be performing at Spaceland with LA-based singer-songwriter Imaad Wasif. And Brooklyn-bred experimental rockers High Places will bring life to the drab interior of the Smell with LA locals Abe Vigoda and Baltimore-based Ponytail. It will be a night filled with endless sonic curiosity. But the hole-and-corner Pehrspace will play host to a loose-knit Durham-based collective, Daniel Hart's the Physics of Meaning. The violin virtuoso has lent his skills to St. Vincent, John Vanderslice and the Polyphonic Spree in times past. Now, Hart has a forthcoming sophomore effort, 2008's Snake Charmer & Destiny At The Stroke Of Midnight, to call his own. Don't miss out! more ›
