Top 3 places to be tonight if you’re not a metal fan:

‣ Lyrics Born, whose new album “Lies X 3” comes out next week, is the late headliner at the Roxy. That’s the Yoram Benz-directed video for the title track, above. And here’s a little bonus – a song from the album that features vocals from Francis Farewell Starlite (Francis and the Lights):

‣ Film School [see yesterday’s post] headlines the Echo, supported by Lovelikefire and Rabbits Rabbits Rabbits.
‣ Born Ruffians play the Troubadour; their album “Say It” should not be overlooked. Go here for a free download of “Sole Brother.”

Top place to be tonight if you are a metal fan:

‣ Why, that would be the “Clash of the Titans” show with Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax at the Gibson Amphitheatre, of course.
