Our Pick: Useless Keys, Aushua, We Barbarians, Science @ The Echo (FREE!)
Tonight Eagle Rock-bred indie rock outfit Princeton (LAist Interview) will be performing at Spaceland. Red Arrow Messenger are poised to take on the third night of their free residency at the Bootleg Theater. And, lastly, local electro-infused indie pop act Letting Up Despite Great Faults will be gracing the Silver Lake Lounge. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Echo to catch local alternative rockers the Useless Keys. LAist favorites, Santa Ana-based indie rockers Aushua and We Barbarians are slated to kick things off.
