The Strange Boys will be performing tonight at the Echo | Picture via the Strange Boys Myspace
Our Pick: The Strange Boys, Chain and the Gang, Neverever @ The Echo
Tonight New Jersey-based Dayve Hawk, former frontman of Philadelphia-based Hail Social, who performs under the pseudonym Memory Tapes, will be headlining Spaceland. LA-based alt-country troubadours Leslie and the Badgers are poised to grace the Bootleg Theater with a slew of other venerable local musicians in honor of When You Awake's 2 Year Anniversary. And, lastly, LAist favorites, Silver Lake-based indie pop act Pepper Rabbit will be performing at the Viper Room in West Hollyweird with none other than Brooklyn-bred singer-songwriter Pepi Ginsberg. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Echo to catch Austin-by-way-of-Dallas garage rock outfit the Strange Boys (LAist Review, #2).
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.
