Our Pick: Florence and the Machine, IO Echo @ Troubadour (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. Legendary Boise-based indie rock progenitors Built To Spill will be concluding a two-night stint at the Echoplex. And, lastly, LA-based Cambodian rock outfit Dengue Fever (LAist Interview, Review) will be gracing the Broad Stage in Santa Monica. But we strongly suggest doing whatever it takes to get into the Troubadour to catch British singer-songwriter Florence and the Machine. LAist favorites, local dance-infused rock duo IO Echo are slated to kick things off.
You can find these listings as well as the rest of the week's in our weekly Week In Rock post, which goes up every Sunday.
