Tonight In Rock: Miike Snow, Crooked Cowboy, One Trick Pony, So Many Wizards

So Many Wizards will be performing tonight at the Smell | Picture via So Many Wizards' Myspace
Our Pick: Jesus Makes The Shotgun Sound, Boomsnake, Hosannas, So Many Wizards @ The Smell
Tonight Swedish electro pop outfit Miike Snow will be kicking off a completely sold-out, three-night stint at the Henry Fonda Music Box with none other than LAist favorite, Nashville's Daniel James, better known as Canon Blue. Highland Park's own deep crooner Crooked Cowboy is poised to take on thesex in the outskirts of Downtown with local rock and roll outfit Slang Chickens (LAist Review). And, lastly, local indie rockers One Trick Pony, Rademacher, and Seasons will be gracing the one and only All Star Lanes in Eagle Rock. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Smell in Downtown to catch Long Beach-bred one-man band Nima Kazeroun, who performs under the pseudonym So Many Wizards.
So Many Wizards - "Nico"
Miike Snow - "Cult Logic"
Crooked Cowboy & the Freshwater Indians - "BEDBUGS"
One Trick Pony - "Pierced Lung Pillow Talk"
