Our Pick: Zola Jesus, TEARIST, Zombelle @ Echo Curio
Tonight legendary English rock singer-songwriter Sir James Paul McCartney will be concluding a two-night stint at the Hollywood Bowl. LA's own experimental music/art group Lucky Dragons are poised to take on the Smell in Downtown. And, lastly, local indie rockers Downtown/Union will be gracing Three Clubs. But we strongly suggest heading over to Echo Curio to catch goth-infused electro act Zola Jesus.
