• West Indian Girl | Saturday, December 6th | 8:00 pm | $20 | The Glass House, Los Angeles, CA – Map | Local radio station 89.9 KCRW sponsors this evening’s event showcasing West Indian Girl, a psychedelica-inspired sextet whose music is just as beautiful in its complexity as its musicians. Which of course isn’t the most important aspect of a band, but hey – it’s an appreciated quality as it comes. Los Amigos Invisibles and AC Means will also be playing throughout the evening.
