Savages at the Echo
Finally, the July lag seems to be over and shows in and around Los Angeles are looking primo. This week we have Savages — if you have yet to see these UK post punk ladies of the night, you’re missing out. Best of 2013 for sure, we caught their tiny Echo show and their Coachella set and were blown away with both. Also this week — Peter Murphy, Postal Service with Diving Fits and Big Freedia, Rancid, Viva! Pomona with a bunch of awesome local and international acts, Glassjaw, and a lot more awesome concerts in Los Angeles!
Check out all the goods on our show list below! While keeping it selective, we’ve handpicked shows from all genres to satisfy your musical palette. The show listings with hot pink hearts are our top show picks! Let us know if we missed something good on our Los Angeles Concert Calendar (July 22-28, 2013).
