Our Pick: Dragonette, Evan Voytas, White Arrows @ The Echo
Tonight NY-based indie rock trio Nada Surf, who are kicking off a two-night stint in support of their latest collection of covers—2010's If I Had A Hi-Fi, will be concluding a two-night stint at the Troubadour with Michael Benjamin Lerner, who performs under the pseudonym Telekinesis, in tow. Local singer-songwriter Willoughby is poised to take on the Silver Lake Lounge. And, lastly, English singer-songwriter Fyfe Dangerfield, best known for being the founding member of the indie pop outfit Guillemots, will finally be gracing the Hotel Café after having been forced to cancel his previous appearance due to visa problems. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Echo to catch Canadian electro pop outfit Dragonette. LAist favorites, local electro pop singer-songwriter Evan Voytas and indie rockers White Arrows are slated to perform as well.
