Tonight In Rock: Devo, Silversun Pickups, Port O'Brien, Daedelus

Our Pick: Port O'Brien, The Parson Red Heads, Evangelicals @ The Echo
Tonight legendary Akron-based new wave act Devo (LAist Interview) will be taking on a two-night stint at the Henry Fonda Music Box. Local indie rockers Silversun Pickups (LAist Review, #2, #3) are poised to headline LA Weekly's 101 Fest at the Gibson Amphitheatre. And, lastly, LA-bred electronic mastermind Daedelus will be gracing Cinespace with Jogger, an experimental electronic duo who are the first signees on the aforementioned mastermind's fledgling label. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Echo to catch Oakland-by-way-of-Cambria indie rock outfit Port O'Brien. LAist favorites, local indie pop outfit the Parson Red Heads (LAist Review, #2, #3) and Oklahoma-based indie rock quartet Evangelicals are slated to kick things off.
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.
