Lord Huron, Escondido
Music: Rock, Pop and Hip-HopFri., June 21, 7 p.m.
We hadn't heard much from Ben Schneider's Lord Huron since his Mighty EP threw a lot of critics for a loop toward the end of 2010, its bongo drums, maracas and other percussion swimming in the same sphere as open-road roots music. For something simultaneously evoking Animal Collective and Fleet Foxes, it went bizarrely under the radar. Then came the release of his first proper LP Lonesome Dreams late last year, and, bam, here we have a sold-out show at Webster Hall. That's more like it. SOLD OUT

Why sit in your apartment listening to the Smiths and wishing you were dead when you could be in the basement of Lit Lounge listening to the Smiths and experiencing a sweltering mass of sweat and self-promotion? "Best DJ" winner of The L's 2009 Nightlife Awards, DJ Jess helms the tables with DJ Bastard for a night of 80s new wave and Brit pop.
