[Birthday greetings go out today to Simon Le Bon ... and here's what's in store tonight:]
Critics have heaped accolades on Sunset Rubdown’s latest album “Dragonslayer,” a labrynthian blast of image-heavy art-rock. The Montreal-based ensemble, led by Wolf Parade’s Spencer Krug, ends the U.S. leg of its tour tonight at the Troubadour, where tUnE-YaRdS opens. … Should be a fun night of dress-up (and cover) at the Echo — Otik Records presents the Voyeurs (as Creedence Clearwater Revival), the Flying Tourbillon Orchestra (as Fleetwood Mac), the Monolators (as ABBA) and the Karabal Nightlife (as T. Rex). Costumes recommended — it’s a free show if you wear one. … Nice stuff at the Silverlake Lounge, where the Deadlies and Deep Sleep Ops play. … The Gossip does a 6 p.m. in-store at Amoeba, and it’ll be streamed live. … Colbie Caillat starts a two-night stand at the House of Blues. … Moody three-piece Ballerina Black headlines Spaceland. … And it’s the Disciplines and Vanaprasta at the Viper Room. … Also: Boys Like Girls and Cobra Starship downtown at Club Nokia; and Bobby Long (early) and Caitlin Crosby (late) at the Hotel Cafe.
