Our Pick: Laura Gibson & Ethan Rose, Novi Split, Daniel Ahearn, CMG and the Night @ Echo Curio
Tonight Akron-bred folk rock singer-songwriter Joseph Arthur will be kicking off a month-long stint at the Stronghold on Abbot Kinney in Venice Beach. Nebraska-based indie rock outfit Cursive are poised to take on the House of Blues Sunset in West Hollyweird with Chicago-based pop punk outfit Alkaline Trio. And, lastly, LA-based ten-piece funk orchestra Breakestra will be gracing the Natural History Museum with none other than local retro 60s soul-infused pop act Fitz and the Tantrums in tow, for this month's edition of First Fridays. But we strongly suggest heading over to Echo Curio to catch Portland-based musicians Laura Gibson & Ethan Rose, a folk songstress and an electronic composer respectively, who have fused forces to create one of the most intriguing albums of the year—Bridge Carols.
Laura Gibson & Ethan Rose - "Sun"
Joseph Arthur - "Morning Cup"
Cursive - "Sink To The Beat"
Breakestra - "Hiding (Quantic Soul Orchestra Remix)"
