Ben Weaver Performs at the Hotel Cafe Tonight

Tonight's Options:

Sage Francis @ Amoeba 7:00 PM (Free) – Celebrating the release of his new record that came out yesterday.
Low End Theory Club: Sage Francis @ Airliner – For the underground hip-hop fans. He’s one of those literate, but hardcore rappers.
Ben Weaver / Travel By Sea @ Hotel Café – Presented by the Aquarium Drunkard. He’s got some MP3s for you to download too. Weaver’s a gruff voiced singer-songwriter and in one song mentions Count Basie, John Fante and Surrealism. If you like guys like Steve Earle and Richard Buckner you’ll want to have a listen.

Autolux / Midnight Movies @ UCLA – This would be the pick, but I think it's for students only.

Joseph Arthur / Stars of Track & Field @ the Roxy ($20) – The Rock Insider presents this. The second of two nights at the Roxy.
Club NME: Mother Mother @ Spaceland – Perez Hilton’s a fan. They play manic rock (which Hilton compares to the B-52s).
Thee More Shallows @ the Echo ($7 / $5 with flyer) – An Anticon Records band from San Francisco. Download “Night at the Knight School”

Grace Potter & the Nocturnals @ Troubadour ($12) – A little bit of a jam band, with a lead singer influenced by Bonnie Raitt.
Kiss or Kill: She’s Your Sister @ Safari Sam’s ($5 / $3 before 10)
