Top 3 shows to hit if you aren’t helping David Lowery celebrate his 50th birthday the Cracker/Camper Van Beethoven show at the Echoplex:

‣ The Rumble – the monthly free show at 3 Clubs – goes off with the Sea of Cortez [get this track], Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., [get this track] and Slang Chickens.
‣ Futurebirds [see yesterday’s post] soar in from Athens, Ga., to hit the Silverlake Lounge, supported by Lesands, Eyes Lips Eyes and Lord Huron.
‣ And Dax Riggs, who fronted Deadboy & the Elephantmen, among other bands, starts a two-night stint at Spaceland behind his new solo album “Say Goodnight to the World.” Useless Keys open.
