Mirah will be performing Sunday evening at the Bootleg Theater | Picture via Mirah's Myspace
This week Chicago-based multi-instrumentalist Andrew Bird (LAist Review) will be headlining USC's Bovard Auditorium. The City of Brotherly Love's own experimental synth-pop outfit Cold Cave are poised to take on the Echoplex with none other than Chicago-bred garage rock outfit Smith Westerns and local lo-fi pop act Best Coast. San Pedro-based indie rockers Dios (LAist Interview, Review, #2) will be ringing in their latest endeavor, 2010's We Are Dios, at the Troubadour with Signals (LAist Review) and the Henry Clay People (Review, #2, #3, #4) in tow. And, lastly, Portland-based pop-folk songstress Mirah will be gracing the Bootleg Theater.
