Lily? The Shins? Sounds eclectic.

KCRW-FM (89.9) doesn’t own the trademark on the term “eclectic,” but it might as well, given how closely bound the concept has become to the radio station’s musical identity, from the “Morning Becomes Eclectic” daily program to the Sounds Eclectic Evening benefit concert. This year’s edition of the annual fundraiser lives up to the name, with Seattle’s artful indie-rockers the Shins and London’s irreverent ska-pop singer Lily Allen forming a diverse one-two punch at the top of the bill, which also includes SoCal rockers the Cold War Kids, the funky Breakestra, Latin thrash acoustic guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela and the jazz-scented, groove-conscious

Bitter:Sweet. And watch for surprises. Unannounced guests over the show’s previous five years have included Beck, Franz Ferdinand and Joseph Arthur.

A Sounds Eclectic Evening, Gibson Amphitheatre, 100 Universal City Plaza, Universal City. Saturday, 7:45 p.m. $40

to $300. (818) 777-3931.
