Tonight In Rock: The Pretenders, Cut Copy, Foreign Born, Efterklang

Efterklang will be playing tonight at Spaceland | Photo by Jens Pålsson via Efterklang's Myspace
Our Pick: Efterklang, Peter Broderick, Eulogies @ Spaceland
Tonight legendary British rockers the Pretenders will be performing at the Wiltern. Melbourne's own electro pop buzz band Cut Copy are poised to headline the Henry Fonda Music Box with Brooklyn-based duo Matt & Kim in tow. And, lastly, local indie rockers Foreign Born will be making their triumphant return to the Echo before heading out for SXSW. But we strongly suggest heading over to Spaceland to catch Danish glitch rockers Efterklang. LA-based indie rock outfit Eulogies are slated to kick the show off.
