[Happy birthday to our favorite actress-who-played-a-rocker, Gina Gershon.]
Top 5 reasons to patronize your friendly neighborhood music venue tonight:
☛ The Rumble is a cool monthly event [co-presented by this very blog] that brings three bands to the cozy confines of 3 Clubs for a free show. Tonight’s bill is stacked with three SoCal bands who have been featured here — alphabetically, Chasing Kings [background], Francisco the Man [background] and, pictured, Gamble House [background]. Because there isn’t much June gloom today, here’s a song from each band:
- ||| Download: Chasing Kings, “In This Town”
- ||| Download: Francisco the Man, “Do You Remember?”
- ||| Download: Gamble House, “Bonny Doon”
☛ Foo Fighters guitarist Chris Shiflett’s new side project — Chris Shiftlett & the Dead Peasants, whose eponymous debut album is due July 13 [download a song here] — plays the Bootleg Theater supporting Jesse Malin & the St. Marks Social.
☛ Angie Mattson plays the Silverlake Lounge behind her new album “Skeleton Arm.”
☛ San Francisco’s Sonny & the Sunsets join Fitz & the Tantrums at Spaceland for the second week of Fitz’ residency.
