Top picks on a monster Thursday night:

‣ In between dates opening for Coldplay, U.K. electro quartet Metronomy plays the El Rey Theatre, with Ben Browning (of Cut Copy) supporting. That’s Metronomy’s stylish video for “The Bay,” above.
‣ BRAD, the long-running project featuring Stone Gossard, Regan Hagar, Keith Lowe and Shawn Smith, headline the sold-out Troubadour behind their April release “United We Stand.” Newly signed to ATO, local quintet Everest opens.
‣ U.K. singer James Morrison headlines the Avalon Hollywood, supported by Honeyhoney.
‣ We can expect to hear some new songs tonight from PAPA, the L.A. quartet who made a splash last fall with their first EP “A Good Woman Is Hard to Find.” They play the Echo. LA Font and Busy Living support.
‣ Huge local lineup at the Airliner, with Tennis System, Indians, Spaceships, Dirt Dress and more performing.
‣ And James Murphy performs tonight’s installment of “Transmission LA: AV Club” at the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA downtown.
