Tonight In Rock: Adele, Jon Brion, Franz Ferdinand, Theresa Andersson

Jon Brion will be playing tonight at Largo at the Coronet | Picture via Jon Brion's Myspace
Our Pick: Jon Brion @ Largo at the Coronet (One Set Only)
Tonight Grammy-nominated English soul singer Adele will be headlining a sold-out show at the Wiltern. Glasgow's own indie rockers Franz Ferdinand are slated to perform at Amoeba Records early on in the evening. LA-based singer-songwriter Eleni Mandell will be gracing the stage at the Hotel Café with the equally buzzworthy "one-woman band" Theresa Andersson (LAist Interview, Review). And, lastly, English rapper Lady Sovereign is set to flow at the Echo. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Largo at the Coronet to catch producer/musician extraordinaire Jon Brion (LAist Review).
