Our Pick: Club Underground feat. Quadron @ The EchoOur Pick: Club Underground feat. Quadron @ The Echo

Tonight critically-acclaimed NY-based electro pop outfit LCD Soundsystem at the Hollywood Palladium with label mates, Brooklyn-based duo Holy Ghost!. Silver Lake's own indie rock sensation Local Natives (LAist Interview, Review, #2) are poised to perform to a sold-out crowd at the Troubadour with Brooklyn quartet Suckers. And, lastly, Austin/Brooklyn-bred electro pop duo Neon Indian will be taking on the Natural History Museum with none other than San Jose-bred DJ, hip-hop producer and founder of the hip-hop label Stones Throw Records, Peanut Butter Wolf for this month's edition of First Fridays. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Echo to catch Danish electro-infused soul duo Quadron, who are touring in support of their self-titled debut.

We'd also like to suggest heading over to Origami Vinyl this evening, where our dear friend and local music writer/photographer David Greenwald (of Rawkblog fame) will be showcasing his photography.

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.
