‣ Seattle folk singer Noah Gundersen [see “Ledges”] visits the El Rey Theatre, with the Wild Reeds and Angelo de Augustine supporting.
Purling Hiss rocks Jewel’s Catch One behind their latest album “Weirdon.”
‣ It’s a second night of Capital Cities, Sneaky Sound System and Night Terrors of 1927 at the Fonda Theatre.
‣ L.A. duo Freedom Fry celebrate the release of “Fan Club” at the Hotel Café on a night that also features sets from Mount Saint, Death Has No Dominion & Lael Neale and the New Peter Gabrielz.
