Busdriver will be playing tonight at the Natural History Museum | Photo by Benjamin Hoste for LAist
Our Pick: First Fridays w/ Busdriver, Tim Fite @ Natural History Museum
Tonight local multi-instrumentalist/producer Jon Brion (LAist Review) will be jamming with friends at Largo at the Coronet. Legendary Kansas City-based indie rockers the Get Up Kids are poised to perform to a sold-out crowd at the Troubadour. And, lastly, LA-based jazz-infused pop duo Alex & Sam (LAist Interview, Review) will be gracing Home Restaurant in Silver Lake. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Natural History Museum to catch Busdriver (LAist Review, #2), who will be letting out his glib flow for this month's edition of First Fridays.
