Some great reasons to get out of the house tonight: The big shows have the Decemberists (supported by very talented Oklahomans Other Lives) at the Palladium, and a lot of people my age heading to see the brother acts – the Allmans and the Doobies – at the Greek Theatre. … Ex-rapper Hesta Prynn (Northern State), who’s reinvented herself as a pretty nifty pop songstress, plays the Silverlake Lounge along with Rachel Cantu, and others. … Australia’s Youth Group visits the Troubadour with support from local up-and-comers Nico Stai and Useless Keys … Avi Buffalo’s residency continues at the Echo, and Bobb Bruno is among the supporting acts. … Local trio Until June [pictured] releases its new album, “Sound of Defeat,” today and celebrates with a show at the Hotel Cafe. … At the Prospector in Long Beach, it’s the Minor Canon and Blank Blue. … And Ready the Jet and Jr. Juggernaut plays Spaceland. … Also: Sierra Swan at the Viper Room; Cydney Robinson at the Bootleg Theatre; Matt Sorum and the Darling Stilettos at the Dragonfly; Chickenfoot at the Roxy and Mike Stinson at the Redwood Bar.
