The Stockholm indie rockers captured attention early this summer with their incredibly catchy "Gimme Twice" from their debut EP. Swinging through the Troubadour with Wolf Gang, the venue will surely turn into a sweaty fun discotheque for the evening.

The Spring Standards (Shervin Lainez)

TUESDAY, OCT. 2


MUSIC


The Spring Standards @ Hotel Café (Hollywood)
The Brooklyn-based trio is in the midst of a national tour in support of the double EP yellow/gold. While their gentle acoustic instruments soothe the soul, their haunting vocal harmonies soar to sweeping heights for a thoroughly unique sound.

Garbage @ The Palladium (Hollywood)
There really is no excuse if you've never seen Garbage live. Shirley Manson is one of the best frontwomen performing in rock today, and along with the musical mastery of Duke Erikson, Steve Marker and Butch Vig, Garbage puts on thoroughly unforgettable shows.

Written and recorded with a crew that includes Brett Dennen and Blake Mills, Kate Earl's upcoming debut, Stronger, (Nov. 20) features a rootsy brand of all-American '70s pop-rock. The singer-songwriter shares the personal stories found on Stronger at Hotel Café.

Slash @ The Wiltern (Koreatown)
One of my favorite guitarists returns home as he wraps up a U.S. tour in support of his new album with Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators, Apocalyptic Love. The iconic musician is amazing on recordings and oh-so mesmerizing live.
