Tonight In Rock: Ray LaMontagne, The Misfits, Eisley, War Tapes

Lissie will be performing tonight at the Orpheum Theatre | Picture via Lissie's Myspace
Our Pick: Ray LaMontagne, Lissie @ Orpheum Theatre
Tonight legendary New Jersey-based horror punk progenitors the Misfits (LAist Review) will be headlining the Key Club. Eisley, a familial, Texan indie rock quintet, are poised to grace the Troubadour with none other than Miniature Tigers (LAist Interview, Review). And, lastly, local rockers War Tapes will be taking on the Smell in Downtown. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Orpheum Theatre in Downtown to catch the conclusion of Maine-bred folk singer-songwriter Ray LaMontagne's three-night stint. LAist favorite, Rock Island-based alternative country singer-songwriter Lissie is 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.
