Tonight In Rock: Them Crooked Vultures, King Khan And BBQ Show, Loch Lomond, LAKE

Loch Lomond will be performing tonight at the Bootleg Theater | Photo by Alicia Rose via Loch Lomond's Myspace
Our Pick: Horse Feathers, Loch Lomond, All Spots To Black, Helen Money @ Bootleg Theater
Tonight LA-based rock supergroup Them Crooked Vultures, which is comprised of Dave Grohl, Josh Homme, John Paul Jones and Alain Johannes, will be headlining the Wiltern. Québécois garage rock duo King Khan and BBQ Show are poised to grace the Troubadour with none other than Tennessee-based country/rockabilly trio Those Darlins (Esh CANCELED!) And, lastly, Olympia-bred lo-fi pop outfit LAKE will be taking on the Smell in Downtown. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Bootleg Theater to catch Portland-based experimental folk rock quintet Loch Lomond. LAist favorites, fellow Oregonians Horse Feathers are slated to perform as well.
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.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
