Something for Rockets helps Indie 103 celebrate

Something for Rockets, Low Vs Diamond and Shapes of Racecars play the Viper Room tonight as Indie 103.1 (KDLD-FM) marks the three-year anniversary of "Check One ... Two" nights at the Sunset Strip venue. The station and its local-band-touting DJ Mark Sovel (aka Mr. Shovel) have done more to promote the L.A. music scene in the past three years than any single entity. Tip of the cap.

||| By the way, the station's website has the Midnight Movies' song "Souvenirs" available as its "Indie Recommends" download.

Touts for Monday, June 4

Phantom Planet plays its second straight Monday at the Roxy. ... And then there are loads of free shows: Thailand's residency at the Silverlake Lounge (tonight with the CoCo B's), the Deadly Syndrome's residency at the Echo, Burning Brides' residency at the Echo and the Monolators at the Scene.
