Tonight In Rock: Bob Dylan, Passion Pit, Junior Boys, The Temper Trap

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.

Tonight In Rock: Jon Brion, Animal Collective, Passion Pit, Brightblack Morning Light

Tonight, as always, local multi-instrumentalist/producer extraordinaire Jon Brion (LAist Interview, #2, Review) will be jamming with friends at the Largo at the Coronet. Baltimore-based avant-gardists Animal Collective (LAist Review, #2) are headlining a sold-out show at the Wiltern with Portland's own experimental folk songstress Grouper. Montreal-bred DJ/producer Tiga will be gracing the Avalon with James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem opening on the decks. And, lastly, New Mexico-based psych folk rockers Brightblack Morning Light will be sharing the stage at Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock with Brooklyn's own folk songstress Rio En Medio. The irony here, of course, is that the actual Rio En Medio, or "river in between," can be found in New Mexico; perfect pairing. But we strongly suggest doing whatever it takes to get into the Echoplex to catch Cambridge-bred electro-pop outfit Passion Pit (LAist Review). LAist favorites Brooklyn-based indie rockers Harlem Shakes are slated to kick things off.

Tonight In Rock: Fleetwood Mac, Ben Harper, St. Vincent, Passion Pit, The Wooden Birds

Tonight legendary British/American rock band Fleetwood Mac will be headlining the Staples Center in Downtown. Claremont-bred singer-songwriter Ben Harper is poised to headline the Wiltern with hometown heroes the Henry Clay People in tow. Cambridge-bred electro-pop outfit Passion Pit (LAist Review) will be performing to a sold-out crowd at the Troubadour with Brooklyn-based indie rockers Harlem Shakes. And, lastly, Tulsa-based songstress St. Vincent will be gracing the El Rey Theatre with Philadelphia-based band of brothers Pattern Is Movement. But we strongly suggest heading over to Spaceland to catch former American Analog Set front man Andrew Kenny's latest project the Wooden Birds.

Week In Rock: Fleetwood Mac, The Prodigy, Animal Collective, Passion Pit

This week legendary British/American rock band Fleetwood Mac will be headlining the Staples Center in Downtown. '90s British electropunk outfit the Prodigy will be making their triumphant return to the Hollywood Palladium. Baltimore-based avant-gardists Animal Collective (LAist Review, #2) are headlining a sold-out show at the Wiltern with Portland's own experimental folk songstress Grouper. And, lastly, Cambridge-bred electro-pop outfit Passion Pit (LAist Review) will be taking LA by storm with two sold-out shows: one at the Troubadour, one at the Echoplex.

We're pooped from yesterday's festivities, but there are far too many shows to stay in tonight. Portland-based alt-country duo She & Him, or rather Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward, will be performing at the Wiltern with LA's own Lavender Diamond. Local pop rockers the Parson Red Heads will be gracing Spaceland with the Spires. And rock trio the 88 will be ringing in their new album, Not only...But also, with Dhani Harrison's thenewno2 at the Troubadour. And, lastly, Hella front man Zach Hill will be performing 2008's Necromancer in its entirety at the Smell in Downtown. But we recommend heading over to the Henry Fonda Music Box to catch Boston-based electro-pop sensation Passion Pit. We saw a whole lot of them at 2008's CMJ Festival and they did not disappoint.
