GOOD CAUSE—Maybe you want to help Haiti some more, or maybe you just want to stick it to Pat Robertson; either way, tonight’s the first of two fantastic shows at Mississippi Studios which go to benefit Mercy Corps and Haiti Medical Relief. Gear up for supergroups like Blue Giant and the Minus 5, plus an all-star jam that’ll go ’til the wee hours. NL

They’re joined tonight by the likeminded surf ‘n’ church sound of Best Coast, led by LA’s Bethany Cosentino, who puts fuzz pedal all over girl-group sounds. MS
