Big benefit for Haiti relief at the Troubadour –  Chuck Ragan (Hot Water Music) and Jonah Matranga (Onelinedrawing) are the boldface names, but the show also features Sweden’s Moneybrother, whose U.S. debut “Real Control” is coming out in April. … At the Roxy, it’s the Uncovering a Cure benefit featuring the Ruby Friedman Orchestra, Robotanists, Vanaprasta and Oh Darling, among others. … Fresh off his gig opening for Air, AM heads to the Westside for a show at Hermosa Beach’s Saint Rocke. … Also: Black Eyed Peas at the sold-out Staples Center; Buddy at the Hotel Cafe; Hugh Cornwell at Spaceland; Molina at La Cita; Hi Ho Silver Oh at the Silverlake Lounge; Stab City at downtown’s Redwood Bar; and Field Music’s 7 p.m. in-store at Amoeba.
