Tonight In Rock: Jeff Beck, Dan Deacon, Castledoor, Hecuba

Our Pick: Dan Deacon @ Troubadour
Tonight legendary English rock guitarist Jeff Beck will be concluding a sold-out two-night stint at the El Rey Theatre. Local indie pop outfit Castledoor are poised to grace UCLA's Bruin Plaza. And, lastly, LA-based experimental electronic duo Hecuba will be ringing in their latest record at the Echo. But we strongly suggest doing whatever it takes to get into the Troubadour to catch Baltimore's crown jewel Dan Deacon (LAist Review), who will be performing with a 13-some-odd person ensemble.
