Tonight In Rock: Raewkwon, Local Natives, Ras G, Jason Simon (of Dead Meadow)

Our Pick: Local Natives, Eastern Conference Champions, The Flying Tourbillon Orchestra @ Bordello
Tonight Staten Island-bred Wu Tang Clan member Raekwon will be performing at the Key Club. Young beat-maker and owner of local record store Poo-Bah Records Ras G is poised to headline this week's edition of Low End Theory at the Airliner. And, lastly, Jason Simon of LA-based psych rock outfit Dead Meadow will be gracing the Silver Lake Lounge. But we strongly suggest heading over to Bordello to catch LAist favorites Local Natives (LAist Review). Local indie rockers the Flying Tourbillon Orchestra (LAist Review, #2) are slated to kick things off.
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 from here on out.
