Tonight in Rock in LA - Monsters are Waiting, Emily Haines
The hot babes have invaded LA today. Over at Hollywood & Highland they're throwing a free show with some bands that are easy on the ears and eyes, and then down the road at the Viper there's Metric's singer Emily Haines doing a solo performance to support her solo cd. If that's too sweet and mellow for you, the Knitting Factory is screening the new DVD of Bad Brains' 1982 CBGB shows -- and its free.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
