Our Pick: Alice Russell, Ruby Friedman Orchestra @ Bootleg Theater
Tonight Highland Park experimental indie rock sextet Fol Chen (LAist Review, #2, #3, #4), who recently released their sophomore studio-album—2010's Part II: The New December will be continuing their residency at the Echo with San Diegan garage rockers Crocodiles (LAist Inteview). Local indie rockers White Arrows are poised to do the same at Spaceland with local blues-infused indie rock duo Rumspringa (LAist Review, #2) in tow. And, lastly, LA-based experimental punk outfit Abe Vigoda will be gracing the Smell in Downtown. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Bootleg Theater to catch British soul singer Alice Russell.
