A musical menagerie, Wreck the Halls puts an alt-rock spin on the holiday season without succumbing to overloaded bills or cheesy band antics. Presented by Santa Monica indie staple 103.1, tonight's bill boasts hook-ridden pop collective the Black Kids, the inescapable electro-pop of CSS, and electro-rock from East-Ender outfit Bloc Party. To top the night off, Wreck the Halls presents none other than recently resuscitated rock 'n rollers the Pretenders, hot off the release of their ninth studio album, Break Up the Concrete.
