Tonight in L.A.: Spirit Animal, Andy Clockwise, more

0

[Taking pause this morning to reflect on the passings of George Steinbrenner and Harvey Pekar.]

My top 4 reasons to go out tonight even though it’s the 13th:

Spirit Animal celebrates the release of its debut album “The Cost of Living” with a show at the Bootleg Theater. Get two songs for free here and bring your dancing shoes.
Andy Clockwise [that’s his video for “The Casanova (Remember Love),” above] headlines the Troubadour, with Marvelous Toy supporting.
Elisa Randazzo plays Spaceland behind her new Drag City release, “Bruises & Butterflies,” and 63-year-old British folk singer Bridget St John (as well as Miranda Lee Richards) will open.
‣ Chicagoans Hey Champ play the Viper Room tonight to mark the release of their album “Star” – and will somebody please tell me what I should make of this video?

Your tastes may vary: Admiral Radley has a free 7 p.m. in-store at Amoeba; Billy Boy on Poison at the Mint; MRK1 at the Echo; Modern Time Machines and the Sister Ruby Band at El Cid; Eytan and the Embassy at the Silverlake Lounge; Sam Bradley at the Hotel Cafe; Zion I at the Roxy; Streetlight Manifesto at the Key Club; Kingsizemaybe at 3 Clubs; and C-Horse at Echo Curio.
