Tonight’s top dueling parties:

‣ Franki Chan’s “Check Yo Ponytail” is back, bringing Aussie electro-rockers Midnight Juggernauts, New Zealand’s the Naked and Famous (who, reports have it, were great Monday night at Bardot) and Toronto’s Diamond Rings to the Echoplex. Of course, Ponytail is going head-to-head with Chan’s old partner, Steve Aoki – it’s the DJ’s birthday celebration at Dim Mak Tuesdays at Cinespace, where French DJ Etienne de Crecy performs and “secret guests” are promised.

Tonight’s top 3 local shows:

‣ Young rockers Kitten start a Tuesday residency at the Echo.
‣ Local punk favorites 400 Blows open for Unsane at Spaceland.
‣ And the Californian, the Sweet Hurt and Obi Best hold forth at LaBrie’s in Glendale.
