Tonight In Rock: Morrissey, Kenneth Pattengale, Abe Vigoda, Pearl Harbor

Pearl Harbor will be performing tonight at Synchronicity | Picture via Pearl Harbor's Myspace
Tonight legendary British alternative rock singer-songwriter Morrissey will be headlining at the Gibson Amphitheatre. Local singer-songwriter Kenneth Pattengale is poised to grace the Hotel Café. And, lastly, LA-based experimental punk outfit Abe Vigoda will be taking on R Bar. But we strongly suggest heading over to Synchronicity to catch local lo-fi pop trio Pearl Harbor.
