Tonight In Rock: Black Francis, ZAZA, Rosie Thomas, White Arrows

White Arrows will be performing tonight at Spaceland | Picture via White Arrows' Myspace
Our Pick: Parade of Lights' EP Release, Army Navy, Evan Voytas, White Arrows @ Spaceland
Tonight famed Pixies front man Frank Black will be performing under his stage name Black Francis at the Echoplex for Winston Calling: A Rock and Comedy Benefit for Baby Winston Bertrand. Brooklyn-bred electro-infused shoegaze outfit ZAZA are slated to perform in-store at Origami Vinyl. And, lastly, Seattle-by-way-of-Michigan folk songstress Rosie Thomas will be gracing Largo at the Coronet (CANCELED!). But we strongly suggest heading over to Spaceland to catch local indie rockers Army Navy (LAist Interview, #2, Review). LAist favorites White Arrows are slated to kick things off.
