Broken Bells will be performing tonight at the Bootleg Theater | Picture via Broken Bells' Myspace Our Pick: Broken Bells @ Bootleg Theater (Sold-Out)
Tonight, as always, local multi-instrumentalist/producer extraordinaire Jon Brion (LAist Interview, #2, Review) will be jamming with friends at the Largo at the Coronet. Local retro 60s soul act Fitz and the Tantrums are poised to take on the Echo once more—this time with LA-based indie rockers Pop Noir in tow. And, lastly, local indie rockers One Trick Pony and Rademacher will be warming up the stage upstairs at the Echoplex for Radars to the Sky (LAist Review, #2, #3). But we strongly suggest doing whatever it takes to get into the Bootleg Theater to catch Broken Bells—the brainchild of the Shins front man James Mercer and producer/musician extraordinaire Danger Mouse. Yes, we know it is completely last-minute and invariably sold-out. However, this is not to be missed, as it will be the band's debut performance!
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.
