Chvrches at Fonda Theatre and Troubadour

The Scottish electro-pop trio Chvrches has had a rapid ascent and with good reason. Singles such as “The Mother We Share” and “Recover” are poppy enough to feel like hits for the Ellie Goulding crowd but just experimental and strange enough to earn indie swoons.
