Our Pick: Cy Coleman Tribute w/ Nikka Costa, Fiona Apple @ Largo at the Coronet (Sold-Out)
Tonight Australian singer-songwriter Ben Lee will be performing at Largo at the Coronet's Little Room. The Roxy is playing host to a slew of DFA artists, including Portland-based one-man band Yacht, the Juan Maclean, Tim Sweeney and Tim Goldsworthy. LA-based singer-songwriter Meiko (LAist Review, #2, #3, #4, #5) will be playing at the Hotel Café for the second night in a row with LAist favorite Obi Best (LAist Interview, Review, #2) slated to open. On the early side of things, Scottish rockers Glasvegas are poised to take over Amoeba Records. And, lastly, LA-based psych rock outfit the Entrance Band will be headlining the Troubadour with Indian Jewelry and the Growlers in tow. But we insist that you head over to the Largo at the Coronet to catch LA's most beautiful and forlorn figure Fiona Apple.
