Tonight In Rock: Primal Scream, Great Northern, MSTRKRFT, Nosaj Thing
MSTRKRFT's Record Release Party will be taking place tonight at the Roxy | Photo via the MSTRKRFT's Myspace
Our Pick: MSTRKRFT Record Release Party w/ Felix Cartal @ The Roxy
Tonight legendary Scottish rockers Primal Scream will be performing at Club Nokia in Downtown with Brian Jonestown Massacre in tow. LA-based buzz band Great Northern are poised to rock the Silver Lake Lounge in anticipation of their forthcoming 2009 release, Remind Me Where The Light Is. And, lastly, local electronic mastermind Nosaj Thing will be gracing the Echoplex with his burly beats. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Roxy to ring in 2009's Fist of God, the sophomore release from Toronto-based electronic duo MSTRKRFT.
