Tonight in Rock: Go See A Residency

The Submarines play with Bell X1 tonight at the Troubadour | Photo via their MySpace
Other than residencies and their guests, there's not a huge amount of shows tonight. We highly recommend blues musician Jake La Botz at the Redwood Bar downtown for something off the beaten path (sound clip below). And if you really want to have a smile on your face, check out LA's very own The Submarines who have been pumped up and reviewed here before (great FX Nip/Tuck video below).
