Our Pick: Oh Darling, Actress, Dirt Bird @ Spaceland
Tonight iconic Toronto-based, Juno-winning indie rock "supercollective" Broken Social Scene will be performing in-store at Amoeba Music, ringing in their latest endeavor—2010's Forgiveness Rock Record. San Diegan singer-songwriter Greg Laswell (LAist Interview, Review, #2, #3, #4, #5) is poised to headline a sold-out show at the Troubadour. And, lastly, NY-based rock band Coheed and Cambria (LAist Review) will be taking on the Fox Theater Pomona with none other than OC-based rock outfit Circa Survive. But we strongly suggest heading over to Spaceland to catch LA-bred pop quartet Oh Darling.
You can find these listings as well as the rest of the week's in our weekly Week In Rock post, which goes up every Sunday.
