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.
