[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.
‣ And Wayne “the Train” Hancock plays the Mint.
