Tonight In Rock: Les Savy Fav, Ane Brun, Red Sparowes, Pollyn

Ane Brun will be performing tonight at Largo at the Coronet | Picture via Ane Brun's Myspace
Our Pick: Ane Brun, Ólöf Arnalds @ Largo at the Coronet
Tonight New York-based rock and roll outfit Les Savy Fav will not only be performing for free at the Getty Center for this month's edition of 'Saturdays Off the 405.' Local post-rock act Red Sparowes are poised to take over the Echoplex with none other Brooklyn-based indie rock quintet Fang Island and Jesus Makes the Shotgun Sound in tow. And, lastly, LA-bred electro pop trio Pollyn will be gracing Spaceland with Indiana-bred rapper Freddie Gibbs. But we strongly suggest heading over to Largo at the Coronet to catch Norwegian singer-songwriter Ane Brun. LAist favorite, Icelandic singer-songwriter Ólöf Arnalds is slated to kick things off.

Les Savy Fav - "Sweat Descends (Live)"
