Top shows to consider while setting aside time this morning for Warpaint’s appearance on KCRW’s “Morning Becomes Eclectic:

‣ Literature and music collide at a charity event at the Bootleg Theater – Scottish rockers Biffy Clyro will perform, and author Mark Z. Danielewski will read from his 2006 novel “Only Revolutions,” which inspired the trio’s album of the same name. A Q&A session and a signing will follow, all proceeds benefiting L.A.-based Homeboy Industries, an organization that helps at-risk youth and former gang members. Presented by SPIN magazine and Skylight Books, the event starts at 7 p.m.
‣ The late show at the Bootleg Theater features Ferraby Lionheart, supported by Demo Team and Captain and Holland (a project featuring Brian Canning of Shadow Shadow Shade).
‣ Young God Records founder Michael Gira has rekindled his avant-garde band  Swans (their 11th album “My Father Will Guide Me Up to a Rope in the Sky” came out in September, and the band will play the El Rey Theatre, with Devendra Banhart (acoustic) and Wooden Wand supporting.
‣ The BellRays rock the Echo; Lisa Kekaula and gang released yet another worthy album of gritty rock ’n’ soul last year titled “Black Lightning.”
‣ And off the beaten path but still worth checking out: Berkeley’s Winter’s Fall, joined by Funeral Club, Patrick Joseph and Starving Daughters, play Silver Factory Studios (4310 W. Jefferson Blvd.).
