Tonight In Rock: Chromeo, Fountains of Wayne, High Places, El Ten Eleven

Tonight Northampton-bred power pop act Fountains of Wayne (LAist Interview) will be concluding their two-night acoustic stint at Largo at the Coronet. Montreal-based electro pop duo Chromeo (LAist Review) are poised to play to a sold-out show at the Keyclub, just before heading into the studio. We're also just getting word that Chromeo has been added to the Love Grenades' show at the Roxy with Sam Sparro. And speaking of duos, experimental two-man band El Ten Eleven will be playing at the Silver Lake Lounge with Creedle, which features Pinback front man Rob Crow. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Echo to catch the final duo we'll speak of, Brooklyn's own experimental rockers High Places. LA locals Hecuba are slated to open to the show.

Tonight LA is busy with the usual Monday night residencies. We've got Rademacher at the Echo, Kenan Bell at Spaceland and Manhattan Murder Mystery at Mr T's Bowl. And San Diego-based indie rockers Pinback will be headlining the Echoplex. But seeing them live does tend to expose how big of a slob front man Rob Crow actually is—both musically and, well, otherwise. Could we pass up recommending to go see Andrew Bird perform at Largo at the Coronet? Absolutely not. The classically-trained violinist will demonstrate his mastery of the language with his awe-inspiring one-man show for one last night.
