Tonight In Rock: Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, No Age, Mika Miko, Voices Voices

Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings will be playing tonight at Club Nokia | Photo via Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings' Myspace
Our Picks: No Age, Rings, Mika Miko, Abe Vigoda, David Scott Stone, Jennifer the Leopard @ The Smell (Early Show; 1:00 PM)
Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, Ivan Milev @ Club Nokia
Tonight ambient rockers Voices Voices will be performing at the Viper Room with Pop Noir. The football helmet-clad experimental electro outfit known as Anavan will be rocking out at the Echo for this week's edition of Part Time Punks. And, lastly, LA-based indie rockers Divisadero are playing with Daniel Brummel (of Ozma) at All Star Lanes in Eagle Rock for the Bowling & Drinking Club. But we strongly suggest spending the day in the Downtown Area. Around mid-day, in what will be touted as one of its best shows of the year, the Smell is hosting a prominent array of noisy locals, such as No Age (LAist Review, #2, #3), Mika Miko (LAist Review) and Abe Vigoda. And later on in the evening, funk and soul maestros Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings (LAist Review, #2) will be headlining Club Nokia. Neither event should be missed!
