Last Wednesday night, up-and-coming Los Angeles band Goon, led by Kenny Becker, headlined The Echo with a stellar lineup of supporting acts. Opening up for Goon at The Echo were Draag, Pastel Felt and Young Jesus. With each band serving up their own unique flavor of tunes and style, the evening boasted four solid performances by some bands very deserving of your attention.
