Honda
Civic Tour Featuring Grouplove & Portugal. The Man – Sat, Aug. 16 (show:

Grouplove
After
scoring success with their chart topping single "Tongue Tied" and
spending over two years on the road supporting their 2011 debut Never Trust A
Happy Song, Grouplove took less than a week's break before beginning work on
their new album, Spreading Rumours. Spreading Rumours sees Grouplove elevating
from a band of friends jangling together music and words without much direction
into focused artists making a beautiful album together - standing behind one
vision and a sound that is uniquely their own.
Watch
their video for Tongue Tied.
Portugal.
The Man
Six
full-length albums in six years, nonstop touring, a stint with The Black Keys
and festival stops at Coachella, Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza, Portugal. The Man
embodies all dimensions of DIY rock range.
The
Mighty Mighty Bosstones – Sun, Aug. 17
At a
time when so much of the industry’s output has become the musical equivalent of
junk mail, listening to the Mighty Mighty Bosstones is like receiving a series
of postcards from a vacationing friend: handwritten, infectiously fun,
wish-you-were-here inclusive, and, overall, personal. (show: 8pm, admission:
$38.50-$44)
Groundation
– Thu, Aug. 28
Bursting
forth from their underground status, Groundation has taken the music world by
storm. Capturing the essence and drive of true roots reggae, the widely
renowned band takes the art form to new heights by blending elements of jazz,
funk, salsa, soul and transcendental dub in a progressive amalgam of sound all
their own. (show: 9pm, admission: $16.50)

records giving him the ability to tear up the dance floor with the most
eclectic sets of hip-hop, house, 80's, rare grooves and a mix of everything in
between. (show: 11:59pm, admission: $11-$20)
Groove
to his Boiler Room set!
The
Avett Brothers – Fri, Aug. 29 – Sun, Aug. 31
Hailed
by the San Francisco Chronicle as having the "heavy sadness of Townes Van
Zandt, the light pop concision of Buddy Holly, the tuneful jangle of the
Beatles, the raw energy of the Ramones," the Avett Brothers bring their
artful distillation of classic homegrown folk, rock energy, bluegrass soul and
pop charm to Las Vegas for 3 nights. (show: 8pm, admission: $59)
Brooklyn
Bowl Las Vegas will begin its summer weekday hours on August 1 and will open at
