Los Angeles Tonight (April 16, 2013)

Gary Clark Jr. is at The Roxy tonight, so you should go there.  100% certifiably guaranteed guitar amazingness.

If not there, then maybe Foals at El Rey.

If not Foals then maybe Modest Mouse at the Fox Theater in Pamona.

If not Modest Mouse then maybe Sparks at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

If you're scared of ghosts then maybe Salva, Gaslamp Killer, Thundercat, and Franki Chan at the Echoplex.  If you're scared of the trap, then maybe Dim Mak Studios for Keys N Krates and SPECIAL SECRET GUESTS.

If none of those then maybe Smith Westerns at The Echo, Franz Ferdinand at The Fonda, Aesop Rock at The Observatory, The Make Up at The Glass House... I could go on, but what I'm trying to say is there is a ton going on tonight so you should Tivo your programs and get out there.
