Tonight In Rock: Rancid, Mandy Moore, Tortoise, Copeland

Tonight legendary Albany-based punk rock outfit Rancid will be co-headlining the Forum with Rise Against. Local actress/singer Mandy Moore is poised to grace Largo at the Coronet. And, lastly, Florida-based pop rockers Copeland will be performing at the Hotel Café with none other than Sherwood and the Union Line. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Troubadour to catch Chicago-based jazz-infused post-rockers Tortoise.

If you're as pooped as we are from yesterday's festivities, then you'll likely be staying in tonight. Luckily there's not much going on in LA. However, for those looking to venture outside the comfort of their own home, we suggest checking out Portland, Oregon-based folk rockers Horse Feathers at Spaceland.

Tonight LA is bereft of noteworthy shows. Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip, an Essex-based collaborative effort between Dan Stephens and David Meads respectively, will be doling out madcaps beats, flows and breaks at the Echo. If you're feeling brazen, then we recommend heading out to Long Beach to catch the Western States Motel at the Prospector. It'll surely be worth the drive. But for those who want to see a great show close to home, we suggest Beach House at Spaceland. The Baltimore-bred duo—who are generally characterized for their drone of hollow lo-fi drums, rich, almost baritone vocals, and jangly organs—will leave you in a wintry, angelic stupor.

The Pogues were so bad last night at the Wiltern that we left early and can't really recommend them tonight, but we will list them because, we'll they're the Pogues. The problem was Shane was so drunk/fucked-up/brain damaged that it was sad. LAist are HUGE Pogues fans. Over the last three days we've listed them three times and posted two different videos. Which is what made last night's show so heartbreaking. It was like watching Ozzy on that MTV show when he was at his lowest. See anything else.
