Tonight In Rock: Har Mar Superstar, The Ettes, Madlib, Jel

Tonight Minnesota-bred genre-hopping, full-figured singer-songwriter Har Mar Superstar will be headlining Spaceland for this week's edition of Club NME. Nashville-by-way-of-Los Angeles garage rock outfit the Ettes are poised to grace the Echo with none other than the Blood Arm (LAist Interview, Review). And, lastly, Berkeley-bred hip hop producer and rapper Jel and labelmate Odd Nosdam will be taking on the Airliner in Lincoln Heights. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Good Hurt in Venice to catch Oxnard-based Grammy nominated DJ/multi-instrumentalist Madlib, who will be ringing in his latest endeavor, The Madlib Medicine Show Vol. 1—a once-a-month, twelve-CD, six-LP series.
You can find these listings as well as the rest of the week's in our weekly Week In Rock post, which goes up every Sunday.
