Tonight In Rock: Huey Lewis And The News, Buraka Som Sistema, Fuck Buttons, Pearl Harbor

Pearl Harbor will be performing tonight at the Bootleg Theater | Picture via Pearl Harbor's Myspace
Our Pick: The Orange Peels, Pearl Harbor, Finches, Eleni Mandell Jazz Combo @ Bootleg Theater
Tonight legendary San Franciscan rock act Huey Lewis and the News will be headlining Club Nokia in Downtown. Portugal-bred experimental electronic quartet Buraka Som Sistema are poised to take on the Mayan Theatre in Downtown as well. And, lastly, Bristol-based experimental drone-infused duo Fuck Buttons will be headlining the Echo. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Bootleg Theater to catch local lo-fi pop trio Pearl Harbor.
