Venerable Chicago-based band The Sea and Cake hit the Troubadour this week for a pair of shows in support of their October release Car Alarm (Thrill Jockey). Playing together since 1993, core members Sam Prekop and Archer Prewitt--along with drummer John McEntire and bassist Eric Claridge--proved in their almost 2-hour set Thursday night that rocking out isn't just for the young.

Tonight Manchester's most dysfunctional kinship, Oasis, are headlining the Staples Center in Downtown. NY-based hip hop collective the Wu-Tang Clan will be stopping through the House of Blues Sunset. Social Distortion front man Mike Ness is kicking off a two-night stint at the El Rey Theatre. And, lastly, producer/singer-songwriter Butch Walker will be rocking out to a sold-out crowd at the Largo at the Coronet. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Troubadour to see the Sea and Cake. The Chicago-based quartet will presumably be playing jazz-infused pop rock tunes from 2008's Car Alarm.
