SXSW may be going off in Austin this week, but the shows in Los Angeles are going strong. This week we have three night of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at L.A. Memorial Sports Area, two nights of Leon Bridges at the Wiltern, A-Wa and September Girls at The Echo (separate nights), Junior Boys bring the dance party to The Regent and The Revivalist will hit the Teragram Ballroom. On the underground tip we recommend you catch The Bloodhounds at Redwood Bar, Blanck Mass at Resident and Wax Idols at the Constellation Room. Check out all the best shows happening this week in and around Los Angeles!
