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

Our Pick: Best Coast, Mothfight, Soft Black, Werewolves @ Echo Curio
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 LAist favorites Best Coast, an LA-based lo-fi pop project involving Bethany Consentino of Pocahaunted along with Bobb Bruno. NY-based folk rockers Soft Black are slated to kick things off.
