Thank God It's Monday: This Week's Shows

Chiddy Bang, one of our featured artists in this week's music section, play at the Glass House in Pomona as part of their ridiculously fast-rising success. Thanks to a pretty steady groundswell of blog hype due to their indie-friendly take on hip-hop--not for nothing does the duo use samples from the likes of MGMT, Passion Pit and Radiohead among others--they've already scored chart hits overseas this year and are looking ahead to the release of a formal debut album in a couple of months following earlier mix tapes.

Moon Pearl and Italic Indian are headlining the first summer show from the Acrobatics Everyday crew at UC Irvine, taking a little advantage of the post academic year break to raise a ruckus. Irvine's Moon Pearl kick off a California tour of sorts with their murkily skewed random pop noise. A song like "Silver Lining" has a clear hook throughout for all the bubbling swirls and feedback, while Westminster's Italic Indian will be celebrating the release of their Drowsy Bruise album featuring their engagingly cryptic-and often heavily echo-laden-noise-into-ambient collages.
