The Parson Red Heads will be playing at the Echoplex on Tuesday | Photo by Koga for LAist
This week Omaha-bred electro-pop outfit the Faint will be co-headlining the Henry Fonda Music Box with none other than Ladytron. LA-based singer-songwriter Jesca Hoop is poised to play her last show in LA at the Hotel Café before moving to the UK. French musician and composer Yann Tiersen will be performing at the El Rey Theatre with Asobi Seksu in tow. And, lastly, local indie rockers the Parson Red Heads are slated to ring in their latest record with Castledoor at the Echoplex.
