Tonight In Rock: Snow Patrol, Grizzly Bear, Noah & The Whale, Why?

Noah And The Whale will be playing tonight at the Roxy | Photo via Noah And The Whale's Myspace
Our Pick: Noah & the Whale, Robert Francis @ The Roxy
Tonight Scottish alternative rock outfit Snow Patrol will be headlining the Wiltern with Chicago-based pop rock act Plain White T's. Brooklyn-based indie rockers Grizzly Bear are poised to take on the Hollywood Palladium with none other than Baltimore's lugubrious duo Beach House in tow. And, lastly, Cincinnati-bred experimental hip-hop/indie rock trio Why? will be taking on the Echoplex. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Roxy to catch English folk rockers Noah and the Whale. LA-based singer-songwriter Robert Francis (LAist Interview, Review) 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.
