LAist Recommends: Ozomatli, Dengue Fever, John Doe

Tony from LAist, here again to give you some choice picks of some of the bands that LA is very proud of.

Tonight is one of those nights where you really wish you could split yourself up into several you's to check out all the bands that are rocking your fine town. The pick of the day has got to be Dengue Fever which is a multicultural group starring Cambodian pop star Ch’hom Nimol. Trust me when I say this is going to be the most exotic, foot-tapping music you will hear all week.

Also on tap for tonight is X legend, John Doe, and up n coming stars The Bird and the Bee.
