Our Pick: Andy Clockwise, The VLA, Globes on Remote, Miniature Tigers @ Spaceland
Tonight Costa Mesa-based rockers Japanese Motors are poised to commence a month-long residency at the Echo with My Pet Saddle in tow. Local experimental rock trio 60-Watt Kid will be performing at Women. And, lastly, Ohioan DJ Pase Rock will be headlining the Roxy in Hollywood. But we strongly suggest heading over to Spaceland to catch LAist favorites Miniature Tigers (LAist Interview, Review).
You can find these listings as well as the rest of the week's in our weekly Week In Rock post, which (generally) goes up every Sunday.
