Tonight In Rock: Rancid, Mandy Moore, Tortoise, Copeland

Tortoise will be playing tonight at the Troubadour | Picture via Tortoise's Myspace
Our Pick: Tortoise @ Troubadour
Tonight legendary Albany-based punk rock outfit Rancid will be co-headlining the Forum with Rise Against. Local actress/singer Mandy Moore is poised to grace Largo at the Coronet. And, lastly, Florida-based pop rockers Copeland will be performing at the Hotel Café with none other than Sherwood and the Union Line. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Troubadour to catch Chicago-based jazz-infused post-rockers Tortoise.
You can find these listings as well as the rest of the week's in our weekly Week In Rock post, which (generally) goes up every Sunday.
