Our Pick: Amazing Baby, Warpaint, Light @ Bordello
Tonight Metallica (LAist Review) and the Sword (LAist Review) will be concluding every metal aficionado's wet dream, a two-night stint at the Forum. The LA-based Latin/hip-hop eight-piece known as Ozomatli are slated to headline the House of Blues Sunset. Hello Stranger front woman Juliette Commagere (LAist Review) will be gracing the stage at the Troubadour and will be accompanied by LAist's favorite singer-songwriter Obi Best (LAist Interview, Review, #2). But we strongly suggest that you make it over to Bordello to catch Brooklyn-based buzz band Amazing Baby. It will be the band's first performance in the area, so catch them while they're still fresh!
