Looks like Los Angeles gets a break this week from outdoor music festivals with the Jubilee and Make Music Pasadena now over. This week on our Los Angeles show list we have some rad shows for your to attend (and win tickets). In the FREE zone, don’t miss the Hindu Pirates with the Dead Ships on Monday at the Echo! Also, Robert DeLong has a free show at the Getty! Some other great shows popping off this week (but not free) are Radar Bros with Ola Podrida, Brent Amaker and the Rodeo, Emily Wells, Alkaline Trio, Cold Cave, Obliterations, and many more — along with yet another round of Petty and Bjork.
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 (June 10-16, 2013).
