Cut Copy hits SoCal for the first of three shows in as many days – tonight it’s the Glass House, followed by a two-night stand at the Music Box @ Fonda. … There’s a big bluesy lineup at the Viper Room; among the bands are Rumspringa [pictured] and 1921A. … The Monday residencies will be going great guns: Aushua is doing its thing at the Detroit Bar in Costa Mesa; Nico Stai [pictured], with the Shys, rock Spaceland; and at the Echo, it’s a full plate with five bands playing the Origami Records night – Wait. Think. Fast, Summer Darling, Two Guns, Shiloe and the City Streets. … And it looks like a a lot of fun at the Silverlake Lounge, with Pink Mochi, joined by Kissing Tigers and the Binges.
