[Look sharp! Per Gessle of Roxette turns 50 years young today …]

It’s a busy night for the residencies: At Spaceland, Rocco Deluca’s labelmates Honeyhoney are on hand — as well as hot new Norwegian punk-rocker Ida Maria [pictured]. Deluca recently gave a nice interview to LAist. … At the Echo, Red Cortez opens for Robert Francis, who, after being joined by Pete Yorn for two songs last week is rumored to be welcoming another very special guest tonight. …”  Olin and the Moon are back at the Silverlake Lounge, where you also get treated to the lovely alt-twang of Leslie and the Badgers. … Fullerton’s Mothers Sons are doing a co-residency with Daniel Morones at the Detroit Bar in Costa Mesa. … That’s about it for the free stuff — except now is a good time to remind you that tonight is when you can get free tickets to future Knitting Factory shows by stopping by the venue’s box office between 6 and 8 p.m. [Details here] … It won’t be free, or easy, tonight at the cozy Hotel Cafe when Katy Perry performs. … Luna Is Honey is on a big bill at the Airliner. … And local groovesters the Nikhil Korula Band play their monthly show at the House of Blues.
