Our Pick: The Airborne Toxic Event "Rocks the House" for Friendly House, Aushua @ Troubadour
Tonight the Elected bassist Michael Runion will be headlining the Bootleg Theater with none other than the Like front woman Z Berg and Rilo Kiley drummer/singer-songwriter Jason Boesel. LA-bred pop singer-songwriter Lucy Schwartz is poised to ring in her latest EP, 2010's Help Me! Help Me! at the Hotel Café. And, lastly, Silver Lake's own all-female quintet Kissing Cousins will be gracing Echo Curio. But we strongly suggest doing whatever it takes to get into the Troubadour to catch Los Feliz-bred Top 40 maestros the Airborne Toxic Event. LAist favorites Santa Ana-based indie rockers Aushua are slated to kick things off.
