Top 3 U.K. acts to see in L.A. tonight (and the best one is not a Mercury Prize nominee):

‣ The RSVP-only It’s a School Night at Bardot features the French Horn Rebellion, Mia Doi Todd and secret guests from across the pond. I hear it’s a Manchester band signed to a local label. Be a sleuth.
‣ Mercury Prize finalists Mumford & Sons play the Palladium – their song “Little Lion Man” is now in rotation on KROQ, which leads me to wonder: When was the last time a song featuring a banjo was in rotation on KROQ?
‣ And Mercury Prize finalist Foals play to a sold-out El Rey Theatre.

Not to mention: a discussion/performance by John Legend and the Roots at the Grammy Museum; Jonsi at the Fox Theater in Pomona; Radars to the Sky’s residency at Spaceland featuring Wait.Think.Fast and One Trick Pony; Evan Voytas’ residency at the Echo with the Sweet Hurt, Pizza! and Halloween Swim Team; Wet & Reckless’ residency at the Silverlake Lounge with support from Twilight Sleep and Manhattan Murder Mystery; Griffin House at the Troubadour; Blood Red Shoes and Sky Larkin at the Bootleg Theater; Jason Derulo at the House of Blues; Day Above Ground at the Viper Room; Wacka Flocka Flame at the Roxy; and Tamar Kaprelian and Walking in Space at the Hotel Cafe.
