Our Pick: Ladytron, The Faint, Crocodiles, Figo (DJ set) @ Henry Fonda Music Box
Tonight experimental folk singer-songwriter Grouper will be headlining the Smell in Downtown. Local experimental rock outfit the Mae Shi (LAist Interview, Review, #2) are poised to rock for this week's edition of Part Time Punks. And, lastly, early on in the afternoon LA-based indie rockers Eulogies will be performing for the kiddies at the Echo for this month's edition of Kidrockers with the One AM Radio in tow. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Henry Fonda Music Box to catch Omaha-bred electro pop outfit the Faint. LAist favorites Crocodiles are slated to kick things off.
