This week English indie rockers Gomez will be headlining the Wiltern with Portland's own indie pop outfit Blind Pilot in tow. San Francisco-based psych-folk-pop act the Dodos will be gracing the Getty Center for this week's edition of Saturdays Off the 405. LAist favorites Local Natives (LAist Interview) are poised to take on a month-long residency at Spaceland. And, lastly, Raleigh-based nu-folk trio Bowerbirds will be performing at the Echo with none other than Raleigh-via-Eau Clair trio Megafaun.
