  2. Slang Chickens’ Monday night residency at The Echo: A must-hear for all Slang Chickens is the kind of band that makes you want to start a band. Taking a very generous definition of “alternative”, the SoCal quartet combines alt-country, punk, post rock, and pop in ways that seem to redefine the very...
