Tonight In Rock: Papa Roach, Droog, The Henry Clay People, Crocodiles

Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.

Crocodiles

Our Pick: Crocodiles, Blue Jungle, Nikki Obscure, De Hombres @ The Smell

Tonight Guitar Center will be putting on its annual Drum Off at the Henry Fonda Theatre with Papa Roach performing. LA's own buzz band the Afternoons (LAist Review, #2) are slated to rock Spaceland yet another night with the Flying Tourbillon Orchestra (LAist Review, #2), the Henry Clay People (LAist Review, #2, #3, #4) and Lemon Sun. And, lastly, local techno troupe Droog are poised to host a Berlin-inspired night at the Avalon. But we strongly suggest catching San Diego's Crocodiles, who are best known as the phoenix that rose from ashes of TPTBUTET and the Prayers at the Smell—Yes, that is in fact Kristen Gundred of Grand Ole Party's hubby.
