Tonight In Rock: Bonnie "Prince" Billy, White Denim, The Rakes, Gregory and the Hawk

White Denim will be playing tonight at Spaceland | Picture via White Denim's Myspace
Our Pick: White Denim, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart @ Spaceland
Tonight Louisville-based folk singer-songwriter Bonnie "Prince" Billy will be performing in-store at Amoeba Records in Hollywood. British indie rockers the Rakes are poised to play the Troubadour. And, lastly, NY-bred folk pop songstress Gregory and the Hawk will be gracing the Echo. But we strongly suggest heading over to Spaceland to catch Austin-based buzz band White Denim, who will be performing for this month's edition of Club NME.
