Our Pick: The Vic Chesnutt Band, Warpaint @ Echoplex
Tonight Australian singer-songwriter Butterfly Boucher will be gracing the Troubadour. LA-based string quartet the Section Quartet are poised to take on Largo at the Coronet. And, lastly, eclectic, experimental electronic duo Furcast will be performing at the Bootleg Theater. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Echoplex to catch Athens-based folk troubadours the Vic Chesnutt Band. LAist favorites, local indie rock outfit Warpaint (LAist Review, #2, #3).
You can find these listings as well as the rest of the week's in our weekly Week In Rock post, which goes up every Sunday.
