Top 3 local shows on a good night for them:
‣ If you liked their album “Terrible Town” [and we did], you’re going to like Olin and the Moon’s follow-up “Footsteps” even more. The Idaho-bred, L.A.-based purveyors of sweet Americana have a new album coming in the new year, and the quintet will be playing some songs from it tonight at Spaceland. Wires in the Wall open.
‣ Big night at the Echo, with L.A. trio Pepper Rabbit playing a hometown show in support of its new album “Beauregard” (out Oct. 26 on Kanine). They are joined by Hands, Square on Square and the Silent Comedy.
‣ And there’s a free show at 3 Clubs, with John Carpenter topping a lineup that includes Toby Burke and George Byrne.

Not to mention: Jack’s Mannequin and Something Corporate doing a fundraiser for the Dear Jack Foundation at the El Rey Theatre; Freelance Whales and Miniature Tigers at the Troubadour; Joshua Radin at the Music Box; Usher at Staples Center; E-40 at the Key Club; Katherine Jenkins at the Wiltern; Reggie Watts at Largo; Tygers of Wrath and Wake Up Lucid at the Silverlake Lounge; Fiction Plane at the Viper Room; Jules Larson at the Hotel Cafe; Willy Porter at the Mint; Dustin Wong at the Smell; and Lifehouse at the Gibson Amphitheatre. Oh, and Pepper Rabbit and Kitten do in-stores at Origami Vinyl.
