Tonight In Rock: The Nels Cline Singers, Glasvegas, Lipp Service, Les Blanks

Lipp Service will be playing tonight at the Airliner | Photo via Eliot Lipp's Myspace
Our Pick: Low End Theory Club w/ Lipp Service (Elliot Lipp), Alex B, Bass Science @ Airliner
Tonight LA-based free jazz outfit the Nels Cline Singers will be performing at Largo at the Coronet. Scottish rockers Glasvegas are slated to headline a sold-out show at the Troubadour. And, lastly, a handful of great locals, including Les Blanks, Death to Anders and the Soft Hands, will be rocking out at the rather drab bar Three Clubs in Hollywood. But we strongly recommend heading over to the Airliner in Downtown to catch Brooklyn-by-way-of-LA electronic maestro Eliot Lipp and his live band Lipp Service.
