[Serving up birthday greetings today to Master P. Now for a busy night on the club circuit …]

She won me as a fan as South by Southwest, and now Thao Nguyen – that’s Thao With the Get Down Stay Down to the uninitiated – hits the Hotel Cafe for a big show with Samantha Crain and Sister Suvi. (And Jesca Hoop follows that set.) …” Vienna Teng brings her lovely piano-based compositions to the Roxy. … Tijuana-reared rising star Ceci Bastida headlines the Silverlake Lounge. … At Spaceland on Club NME’s night, local trio Oliver Future is joined by Franz Nicolay of the Hold Steady performing his solo work. … Ben Lee, with Low Vs Diamond and Annie Stela, hits the Glass House in Pomona. … The Polyamorous Affair and Spirit Vine head up a nice bill at El Cid. … Long Beach’s On Blast plays the Viper Room as part of Musexpo. … Also: So Many Wizards and Intricate Machines at Bordello; Dalmacio Von Diamond at the Smell; and Blank Blue at the Airliner.
