Also I Like to Rock @ Hammer: Admiral Radley + The Happy Hollows

The Hammer courtyard turns electric in July when Also I Like to Rock returns for a series of free concerts featuring today’s top emerging bands. Presented in partnership with KCRW and curated by Buzz Bands LA, two bands per night will perform with KCRW DJs spinning before and between sets. This week, see Admiral Radley and The Happy Hollows, and DJ Anne Litt in between. Be sure to get there early, because while it's free, it can fill up fast. While you're there, explore the galleries for FREE until 9pm.

About the bands:

Admiral Radley - What happens when members of two acclaimed indie bands get together? Magic, judging from the deft touches on the forthcoming album I Heart California. The brand-new quartet is the brainchild of Jason Lytle and Aaron Burtch of Grandaddy and Aaron Espinoza and Ariana Murray of Earlimart.

See Admiral Radley at Amoeba on July 13!

The Happy Hollows - Don’t be deceived by Sarah Negahdari’s pixieish charm — the Los Angeles trio’s frontwoman packs a wallop with every yelp and guitar lick. Their debut album Spells brims with tightly wound but playful indie rock and exhilarating choruses.
