Tonight In Rock: Trainwreck, J. TIllman, Kenneth Pattengale, Little Girls

Kenneth Pattengale will be performing tonight at the Hotel Café | Picture via Kenneth Pattengale's
Tonight local comedic rock and roll outfit Trainwreck (LAist Interview, #2), which features none other than Tenacious D's Kyle Gass, will be ringing in their latest disc at the Roxy. Fleet Foxes drummer J. Tillman is poised to headline the Troubadour. And, lastly, Toronto-bred noise-infused post-punk outfit Little Girls will be gracing Bordello. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Hotel Café to catch local singer-songwriter Kenneth Pattengale, who will be ringing in his latest effort—2009's Speak.
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.
