Tonight In Rock: Phish, DâM-FunK, Times New Viking, Black Gold

Our Pick: DâM-FunK @ Amoeba Music (Early Show; 4 PM)
Tonight Vermont-based jam band Phish (LAist Review) will be concluding Festival 8, a three-day stint in Indio at the famed Empire Polo Club. Indie rock duo Black Gold are poised to take on the Troubadour with none other than all-female rock trio Girl In A Coma. And, lastly, Ohio-based lo-fi rock act Times New Viking will be performing at the Echo with San Franciscan noise-infused pop outfit Sic Alps for this week's edition of Part Time Punks. But we strongly suggest heading over to Amoeba Music in Hollywood to catch Los Angeles' own "Ambassador of Boogie Funk," Culver City-based DJ/selector DâM-FunK.
You can find these listings as well as the rest of the week's in our weekly Week In Rock post, which goes up every Sunday.
