Earlier this month, local record label Manimal Vinyl (see our interview last year with its founder) held its 2nd Annual Manimal Festival at Pappy and Harriet's Pioneertown Palace. "In its second year, the two-day event showcases bands on Paul Beahan's record label... alongside musically bohemian peers," described Daiana Feuer from Papermag. "Manimal's experimental pop catalog -- which began most notably by releasing Bat For Lashes' record two years ago -- lends a unified voice to freak folk and its close cousins, many which are collected on yearly tribute albums to Madonna, The Cure, and in 2010, David Bowie. Manimal's focus mainly follows two streams: The ethereal, spooky soloist tradition [and] the dance beat, taking pop to strange outer space."

Tonight local indie rockers the Voyeurs will be ringing in their debut full-length at the Echo with LAist favorites the Monolators (LAist Review, #2), Go West Young Man and Les Blanks. Hawaiian-born singer-songwriter Sara Lov will be concluding her month-long residency at Spaceland with B.R.A.M. Rainbow^Arabia are slated to perform at the Airliner with Hecuba and We Are The World. And, lastly, the little Brooklyn-based indie rock outfit that could, otherwise known as the Honorary Title, will be headlining the Hotel Café. But we strongly suggest catching either one of Metronomy's (LAist Review) performances tonight. The exemplary English electro-pop trio will be thumping out a steady stream of synth lines and beats at both Temporary Spaces and Cinespace.

There is a noticeable shortage of shows tonight in LA. Weave! are closing out their residency at the Echo with Fool's Gold and We Are the World. The Colour Turning will be performing at the Silverlake Lounge. But the only place to be tonight is Spaceland, where the the Movies (LAist Review, #2) will be kicking off their month-long residency. Local music journalist Kevin Bronson will be DJing. And, of course, it's free!

There were also DIY crafts and typical camp activities in-between the musical sets such as tug-of-war, egg toss, and the three-legged race.
