This week’s best indie shows in Los Angeles feature a David Bowie tribute at Zebulon to celebrate the artist’s life. DREAMPUNK will perform at Gold-Diggers, and entry is free. Harpist and composer Mary Lattimore will kick off her residency at Zebulon. San Holo will get bodies moving to the beats at the Hollywood Palladium. For those into alt-rock, or should we say “noir rock,” Elysian Fields will perform at the Moroccan Lounge. And the Kia Forum will become quite the rock show for the annual iHeartRadio ALTer EGO with Incubus, The Lumineers, Cage the Elephant, The Offspring, Glass Animals, The Head and the Heart, St. Vincent, and Fontaines D.C. See below what’s good this week in LA. And for future shows, check out our Best Shows of the Month for all of January.
