Tonight In Rock: Simian Mobile Disco, The Vic Chesnutt Band, Butch Walker, The Like

Kenneth Pattengale will be performing tonight at the Hotel Café | Picture via Kenneth Pattengale's
Our Pick: Butch Walker, Kenneth Pattengale, Dave Schulz, Lynhurst @ The Hotel Café
Tonight English electronic act Simian Mobile Disco will be headlining the Mayan Theatre in Downtown. Athens-based folk troubadours the Vic Chesnutt Band are poised to take on the Echoplex with none other than local indie rock outfit Warpaint (LAist Review, #2, #3). And, lastly, LA-bred pop rockers the Like will be gracing the Echo. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Hotel Café to catch Georgia-bred singer-songwriter/producer Butch Walker. LAist favorite, local singer-songwriter Kenneth Pattengale is slated to kick things off.
