Echo Park Rising is in full swing. The bad news is that last night you missed Egrets on Ergot, but the good news is that there are still plenty of great bands to check out. This is the 6th year for Echo Park Rising, a community event with over a dozen venues participating, plus specials from local businesses and restaurants. The event is free, but you can buy a VIP ticket to make everything easier. Check out their website for more info on VIP, parking, the schedule, and events.
