[Happy birthday to young Wisconsin native Holly Brook, who was just through L.A. opening for the guy who produced her album, Duncan Sheik …]

Tiny Vaudeville, the monthly variety shows that raise money for 826LA’s free writing and tutoring programs for kids, have been going great guns. Music, comedy, craziness – these nights have offered it all. On tonight’s menu is songstress Maria Taylor [pictured], funnywoman Laraine Newman and more. Speaking of 826LA, here’s the place to go for online voting for its Battle of the Bands (live show: March 1 at the Echo). … February’s Monday residencies come to a close in a big way: Local Natives wrap it up at the Silverlake Lounge with help from Love Grenades; Radar Bros. are on hand to serenade the end of Le Switch’s stand at Spaceland; Avi Buffalo joins Holloys at the Echo; and Free Moral Agents play the Detroit Bar in Costa Mesa. … And at the Hotel Cafe, it’s a cappella whizzes Sonos doing their remarkable covers.
