Tonight’s top shows:

‣ Local Natives perform at the sold-out Walt Disney Concert Hall. Weren’t these guys gigging at the Silverlake Lounge, like, last month? Seems like. The breakout quintet will perform one acoustic set with a string quartet, then a second plugged-in set with a 23-piece orchestra.
‣ Speaking of breakouts, Young the Giant is rolling behind its self-titled debut, and the O.C. quintet rocks the Roxy tonight, supported by We Barbarians and Kitten.
‣ Still love Matt Pond PA’s “The Dark Leaves,” from last year. He’s touring with Rocky Votolato and doing stripped-down sets, and they play the Troubadour. That’s Matt Pond’s video for “Ruins,” above.
‣ And Canadian quartet Hollerado brings its fun stuff to the Satellite.
