Tonight In Rock: Avenged Sevenfold, The Black Keys, Born Ruffians, Crystal Antlers

Crystal Antlers will be playing tonight at the Center for the Arts in Eagle Rock | Photo via Touch and Go
Our Pick: Crystal Antlers' Record Release w/ Har Mar Superstar, Slang Chickens @ The Center for Arts, Eagle Rock $6
Tonight Huntington Beach-based metalcore outfit Avenged Sevenfold will be headlining Nokia Theatre in Downtown. Akron's crown jewel, blues rock duo the Black Keys are poised to take on the Glass House in Pomona. And, lastly, Canadian indie rockers Born Ruffians will be gracing the Echo with LAist favorites Local Natives (LAist Review) in tow. But we strongly suggest heading over to Center for the Arts in Eagle Rock to catch Long Beach-based Crystal Antlers (LAist Review).
