Tonight In Rock: Eric Clapton, Amazing Baby, Leslie and the Badgers, Best Coast

Tonight legendary English blues-rock guitarist and singer-songwriter Eric Clapton will be performing at Hollywood Bowl with Steve Winwood. Brooklyn-based buzz band Amazing Baby are poised to stop by Origami Vinyl early on in the evening. And, lastly, local country troubadours Leslie and the Badgers will be headlining Spaceland with none other than the Chapin Sisters and Olin and the Moon (LAist Interview) in tow. But we strongly suggest heading over to Echo Curio, which we rarely do, to catch Best Coast, an LA-based pop project of Bethany Consentino of Pocahaunted along with Bobb Bruno. NY-based folk rockers Soft Black are slated to kick things off.

              

Local songstress Juliette Commagere has had the Monday night residency at The Echo, and last week, she was joined by Ceci Bastida, Commagere's brother Robert Francis, and Fresno-based Rademacher.

Tonight, in what will be regarded as every metal aficionado's wet dream, Metallica (LAist Review) and the Sword (LAist Review) are kicking off a two-night stint at the Forum. NY-based bohemian pop rockers the Virgins (LAist Review) will be strutting their stuff at the Troubadour. Brooklyn-based hard rock trio Earl Greyhound are slated to headline the Hotel Café. And, lastly, Marathon Live will be throwing its Second Annual Musical Christmas Extravaganza, which features the Chapin Sisters and Miranda Lee Richards, at 3 of Clubs. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Airliner in Downtown to catch electronic mastermind Flying Lotus. You can expect to dance alongside a blather of chunky, tribal beats from 2008's tour de force Los Angeles.

Despite SXSW starting up this week with 100+ Los Angeles based bands heading over there, residencies are growing stronger and more venue-diverse across the line, especially on Monday nights where the volume makes it hard to choose from. Here's to a great month of residencies, rock on.

It's Monday and that means it's a big residency night in Los Angeles. And since it's the first Monday of March, that means a new list of Monday night bands below.

Now that the rain has gone away, Spaceland on Ice can continue this week with The Chapin Sisters and their folk/pop.

LA-based Manimal Vinyl Records recently released Through the Wilderness, a tribute to Madonna benefiting her charity. We discussed the concept of Los Angeles' burgeoning lo-fi/whatcha-call-it music scene taking on Madonna classics with Manimal's founder, Paul Beahan.

Sample these tracks and let us know what's in your iPod playlist this week.

Sabrosa Purr | Local Rock
Liars, Petty Thieves and Pets [download]
This threadbare, emotional track will grab your attention on the first listen. Songs like "Liars..." prove that Sabrosa Purr is definitely not a one-trick cat. Catch them live Friday, Nov. 18 at Alex's Bar in Long Beach.
Metric | Alternative
Too Little Too Late [download]
Metric recorded "Old World Underground" in LA a few years ago. Now they're back with a new disc, "Live It Out." Read LAist Friday to for an exclusive Q&A with the band. In the meantime, enjoy this track off "Live It Out."
The Chapin Sisters | Local Folk
Bird [free download]
Their three-part harmonies and sweeping, haunting songs will stick with you long after you hit play. Sample more music on their official website and myspace. Then show the sisters some love at the echo every Monday night in November.
Stars | Alternative, Pop
Your Ex-Lover Is Dead [download]
Stars juxtapose thoughtful songs against unusual arrangements. After listening to a few tracks off "Set Yourself On Fire," it's easy to see why this Canadian bandis the opening act for Death Cab for Cutie. Stop by Amoeba Records this Friday to hear a free performance.
Heather Evans | Local Jazz
A Little Thing Called Love [stream]
Evans' voice is clear, but has a husky quality to it that lends authority to the vocal delivery. Sample a few streams on her record label's website and then listen to Evans perform free this Friday at LACMA.
