Tonight In Rock: No Age, Avi Buffalo, Portugal. The Man, Nico Stai [Updated]

Our Pick: Avi Buffalo's record release, VOICEs VOICEs, The Wailing Wall @ Troubadour
Tonight local noise-infused rock act No Age (LAist Review, #2, #3), Mika Miko (LAist Review) will be performing at the Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock with none other than Brooklyn-by-way-of-Olympia ambient outfit Growing. Wasilla-bred indie rockers Portugal. The Man are poised to perform for free at Space 15 Twenty in Hollyweird, touring in support of their sixth full-length endeavor—2010's American Ghetto. And, lastly, LA-based indie rock troubadours Nico Stai will be taking on the Bootleg Theater with Shadow Shadow Shade (formerly known as the Afternoons) in tow. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Troubadour to catch Long Beach/Los Alamitos natives and recent Sub Pop signees Avi Buffalo (LAist Interview, Review), who will be ringing in their hotly anticipated self-titled debut. Local ambient rockers Voices Voices and Brooklyn-based indie rock act the Wailing Wall are slated to kick things off.
