Our Pick: Part Time Punks feat. Zola Jesus, Fancy Space People, Garbaj Kaetz @ The Echo
Tonight LA-based alt-country outfit Horse Thieves will be performing at the Echo Country Outpost in Echo Park. Local jazz-infused pop duo Alex & Sam (LAist Interview, Review) are poised to grace the Bootleg Theater with none other than Judson and Mary. And, lastly, Fullerton-based garage rockers My Pet Saddle will be taking on the Troubadour. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Echo to catch Phoenix-based goth-infused electro act Zola Jesus, who will be performing for this week's edition of Michael Stock's Part Time Punks.
Zola Jesus - "I Can't Stand"
Horse Thieves - "Waiting Is Fun"
Alex & Sam - "Buy Your Side"
My Pet Saddle - "Laughing At Me"
