This week local buzz band Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros will be performing in-store at Amoeba Music in Hollywood in conjunction with the release of their debut album, Up From Below. LA-based electronic mastermind Nosaj Thing is poised to headline the Airliner. The Very Best, a fledgling musical amalgam comprised of London based production duo Radioclit and Malawi-bred crooner Esau Mwamwaya, will be performing at the Echoplex with Rainbow^Arabia in tow. And, lastly, local indie rock outfit Foreign Born (LAist Review) are slated to grace UCLA's Hammer Museum for this week's edition of Also I Like to Rock. LAist favorites Warpaint (LAist Review, #2, #3) are slated to kick things off.
