Tonight In Rock: The Icarus Line, Bear Hands, Eagle & Talon, Senator And The New Republic

Bear Hands will be performing tonight at Spaceland | Photo by Victoria Jacob via Bear Hands' Myspace
Our Pick: Visqueen, Bear Hands, Adam Bones @ Spaceland
Tonight the unnecessarily abrasive Buddyhead-backed rock act known as the Icarus Line will be headlining the Roxy in Hollyweird. Local punk-infused all-girl duo Eagle & Talon are poised to warm up the stage at the Echo for Andrew Lynch, who will be ringing in his latest release. NY-based singer-songwriter Senator and the New Republic will be taking on Bootleg Theater with none other than Oklahoma City's own Audra Mae. But we strongly suggest heading over to Spaceland to catch Brooklyn-bred buzz band Bear Hands.
You can find these listings as well as the rest of the week's in our weekly Week In Rock post, which generally goes up every Sunday.
