The Album Leaf will be performing tonight at the El Rey Theatre | Picture via the Album Leaf's Myspace
Our Pick: The Album Leaf accompanied by Magik*Magik String Quartet, Sea Wolf @ El Rey Theatre
Tonight legendary Seattle-bred alternative rockers Alice In Chains will be performing to a sold-out crowd at the Hollywood Palladium. Famed Québécois producer/musician Daniel Lanois is poised to take on Spaceland. And, lastly, local indie rock outfit Saint Motel (LAist Interview) will be gracing the Roxy in Hollyweird. But we strongly suggest heading over to the El Rey Theatre to catch San Diegan electronic act the Album Leaf, who will be celebrating their latest endeavor—2010's A Chorus Of Storytellers. LA-based indie rock outfit Sea Wolf (LAist Interview, Review, #2, #3, #4, #5) are slated to kick things off.
You can find these listings as well as the rest of the week's in our weekly Week In Rock post, which generally goes up every Sunday.
