In a city with a penchant for dress up, it took a bit of time to realize that Wednesday night at the El Rey was in fact themed for the Junior Boys Halloween Tour. (The dude dressed as Jesus only confused the matter; it was the carved pumpkins that finally did it.)

Tonight iconic folk rock singer-songwriter Bob Dylan will be taking on the second night of a three-date stint at the Hollywood Palladium. Cambridge-bred electro-pop outfit Passion Pit (LAist Review) are poised to perform to a sold-out crowd at the Henry Fonda Music Box. And, lastly, Melbourne-based indie rock buzz band the Temper Trap will be headlining on the Roxy with Canadian rock outfit Jets Overhead. But we strongly suggest heading over to the El Rey Theatre to catch Canadian electro pop duo the Junior Boys. Berlin-by-way-of-Vancouver electronic mastermind Circlesquare is slated to kick things off.

This week iconic folk rock singer-songwriter Bob Dylan will be taking on a three-night stint at the Hollywood Palladium. Long Island-bred pop punk outfit Brand New are poised to make their long-awaited return to Los Angeles, performing twice at the Hollywood Palladium as well with Atlanta-based indie rock act Manchester Orchestra and Portland's own folk rockers the Builders and the Butchers (LAist Interview) in tow. Canadian electro pop duo the Junior Boys will be headlining the El Rey Theatre. And, lastly, Toronto-bred folk rock outfit Great Lake Swimmers (LAist Interview) will be gracing the El Rey Theatre with none other than former American Analog Set front man Andrew Kenny's latest endeavor the Wooden Birds.
