A little rock, a lot of roar:

‣ It’s a hometown party tonight at the Roxy for dance-punks Funeral Party (pictured), whose debut “Golden Age of Knowhere” came out back in January. They will be joined by Nashville quartet Mona, whose self-titled debut came out in September. [Buzz Bands LA will be DJing the proceedings.]
‣ Beirut, its new album “The Rip Tide” getting a lot of deserved love, plays the Greek Theatre.
‣ The Jayhawks play to a sold-out Troubadour behind their new album “Mockingbird Time,” the first Jayhawks album featuring both Gary Louris and Mark Olson since 1995.
‣ Joe Purdy is back for another night at the Hotel Cafe.
‣ Jolie Holland does an early show at the Bootleg behind her acclaimed new album “Pint of Blood.”
‣ And Escalator Hill kicks off a Tuesday residency at the Central SAPC, supported by Wires in the Walls and Oak and Gorski.
