The Soft Pack and Hanni El Khatib accentuated the rock in the Also I Like to Rock series on Thursday night, delivering scorched-earth performances to a big crowd in the Hammer Museum courtyard. The Soft Pack previewed a handful of new songs the L.A. quartet has in the works for a new album, and Hanni El Khatib  and drummer Nicky Fleming-Yaryan made as much as a two-piece possibly could, previewing material off his forthcoming album “Will the Guns Come Out.”
