‣ Folk harmonizers the Civil Wars punctuate a big week in L.A. (shows at Largo, Amoeba, and an appearance this morning on KCRW’s “Morning Becomes Eclectic”) by headlining the El Rey Theatre. Opener James Vincent McMorrow (that’s his video for “Sparrow and the Wolf”) is worth your early arrival.
‣ The Flaming Lips do another night at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, this time taking on Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon.”
‣ The Thermals open for Matt & Kim at the Music Box.
