Tonight In Rock: Janelle Monae, Saint Motel, Nico Stai, Birds & Batteries

Tonight local indie rock outfit Saint Motel's (LAist Interview) will be performing at the Roxy with none other than Rumspringa (LAist Review, #2) and Army Navy (LAist Interview, #2, Review). LA-based indie rock troubadour Nico Stai is poised to grace Spaceland. And, lastly, San Franciscan alt-rockers Birds & Batteries will be taking on the American Legion Post 206. But we strongly suggest heading over to Siren Studio to catch Kansas City-bred Grammy Award-nominated pop singer-songwriter Janelle Monae. LAist favorites, afro-centric indie pop act Fool's Gold are slated to kick things off.

Tonight In Rock: Beck, Cut Copy, Sara Bareilles, Akron/Family, Birds & Batteries

Tonight LA-based singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles (LAist Review) will be performing to a sold-out crowd at the Hotel Café. Pennsylvania-bred experimental folk outfit Akron/Family are poised to play the second night of a three-date stint at the Steve Allen Theater. And, lastly, San Franciscan alt-rockers Birds & Batteries will be playing at the the Smell. But we strongly suggest you do whatever it takes to catch Melbourne-based electro pop buzz band Cut Copy, who will be concluding a sold-out two-date stint at the Henry Fonda Music Box Club Nokia (note the last minute venue change). Brooklyn's own dance punk duo Matt & Kim are slated to kick off the show.

Talk about a show explosion! Tonight Madonna will be entertaining the masses at Dodger Stadium. NY-based rock band Coheed and Cambria (LAist Review) will begin a series of shows at the Avalon in which they play each of their four albums in their entirety—tonight they'll be revisiting 2002's The Second Stage Turbine Blade. Local blues-rock band Rumspringa (LAist Review) will be playing at the Viper Room for the Day of the Living Party. And just about every music blogger and their mother will be in attendance at 3 of Clubs tonight, where SF natives Birds & Batteries and the Blacks will be performing. But the real tough choice of the night is between the Happy Hollows' (LAist Review, #2) EP Release Event at the Echo and TV on the Radio (LAist Review) at the Wiltern. The former certainly affords a bevy of superb lesser-known acts, like LBC's the Soft Hands and our personal favorite, Austin-by-way-of-Dallas the Strange Boys (LAist Review, #2). However, we can't deny the latter's latest effort, 2008's Dear Science. So head on over to the Wiltern to catch the buzzworthy Brooklyn-based indie rock quintet.
