Photo: Esben and the Witch – They play the Bootleg Theater on April 5!
It’s Coachella month! While there are some killer local Coachella shows popping off this month, show are rather bleak this week — but we found some gems. This week you can look forward to Rhye’s debut at Hollywood Forever, the gothic sounds of Esben & the Witch, the 2nd annual L.A. Psych Fest, some very all-female performance and art at Femme Soup and more on this week’s Los Angeles Concert Calendar.
While keeping it selective, we’ve handpicked shows from all genres to satisfy your musical palette. The show listings in bold are this week’s top show picks! Let us know if we missed something good in our Los Angeles Concert Calendar (April 1-7, 2013).
