And, lastly, Jockpit, which features members of No Age, Friends Forever and Kyle H. Mabson, will be making noise at the Smell.

The exemplary English electro-pop trio will be thumping out a steady stream of synth lines and beats at both Temporary Spaces and Cinespace.

Drummer and one half of the two man band the Voyeurs, Sean Johnson is shopping for a pilates DVD. Not for himself, but for his girlfriend so they can try it together. We're at a Target in Eagle Rock trying to decide between the core version or the one for weight loss. The other half of the Voyeurs, Jonathan Hylander is checking out the yoga balls. Not for yoga, but to bounce around the house. He thinks Sean should just buy a set of four DVDs and figure out which ones he likes best.

In other non-female-fronted news, LA-based indie rockers Pop Noir will be kicking things into gear at the Echoplex. And, lastly, Les Blanks and a handful of talented locals, including LAist favorites One Trick Pony, are poised to put on a free show at the Echo.

Tonight LA locals Seasons and Les Blanks will be rocking out at Echo Curio. We accidentally listed it yesterday and, in actuality, it will go down tonight. The Keyclub will play host to the Houston-based hip hop artist Devin the Dude, who is currently touring in support of 2008's Landing Gear. LA-based indie rockers Voxhaul Broadcast and Local Natives will be in Downtown for the Zero Film Festival. And, lastly, it will be a rather Canadian affair tonight at Spaceland with indie folk rockers the Acorn and Ohbijou. But we could never pass up a chance to see Greg Gillis practically destroy a reinforced Toughbook laptop with his rigorous sampling. Anyone who is anyone will be at the Henry Fonda Music Box for Girl Talk.

Tonight Thes One and Double K, the self-proclaimed B-boys of People Under The Stairs, will be playing a short and early set at Amoeba Records in support of their forthcoming 2008 LP, Fun DMC. And, lastly, NY-based folk songstress Dar Williams will be performing at the El Rey with her latest effort, Promised Land, in tow. But we strongly suggest that you head over to the Henry Fonda Music Box. Perennial post-rockers Stereolab will be accompanied by lo-fi champion Richard Swift. Both artists will be performing new material from their latest albums—Chemical Chords and Richard Swift as Onasis respectively.
