David Bazan will be performing Sunday at the Troubadour | Picture via David Bazan's Myspace
This week Grammy-nominated Tennessee-based pop punk outfit Paramore will be headlining the Hollywood Palladium with Nashville's own indie rock quartet Paper Route and Michigan-based punk outfit the Swellers in tow. New Zealand-bred electro pop singer-songwriter Ladyhawke is poised to grace the Avalon with Seattle's own electro pop sensation Natalie Portman's Shaved Head. Local afro-centric indie pop act Fool's Gold will be performing in-store at Amoeba Music in Hollywood. And, lastly, celebrated indie rock singer-songwriter David Bazan, who spent most of his formative years performing under the moniker Pedro the Lion, will be taking on the Troubadour.
