This week marks the return of the annual Echo Park Rising! The four-day festival is FREE and not to be missed. Also popping off this week is the Eagle Rock Music Festival! On the big name end of music we have PJ Harvey at the Shrine Expo, Adele at the Staples Center, Pat Benatar at the Greek, Guided By Voices at Teragram, and Guns ‘n’ Roses at Doyers stadium to name a few. On the underground and lesser-known tip, we highly recommend the following acts: Mondo Drag at The Echo, Courtney Marie Andrews at Bootleg, CRX at The Hi Hat, Cellars at The Satellite, The Coathangers at the El Rey, Arum Rae at Resident, Digable Planets at The Regent, and so many more great acts.
