Your Thursday things:

‣ New Zealand songstress Kimbra headlines the El Rey Theatre behind her debut “Vows” (a remix EP is just out as well), with the Stepkids opening. Above, Kimbra’s video for “Two Way Street.”
‣ Filter magazine’s Culture Collide festival begins in earnest, the multinational gathering at four venues in Echo Park (the Echo, Taix, Origami Vinyl and Echo park United Methodist Church). Tonight’s highlights: Spanish electro guru John Talabot, Dean Wareham, Sweden’s Immanu El, Thailand’s the Standards and some local flavor including American Royalty, Of Verona and Drug Cabin.
