On the second day of December LA Gave to me, Sam Stewart and the Useless Keys....

Tonight, LA will be treated with a dosage of the sensual and smooth Maxwell - who will be crooning at Club Nokia. Pershing Square will be bubbling with a free show featuring Salt Petal and Bollweevil as part of their Spaceland on Ice series and over at Spaceland, Club NME Presents Useless Keys and Samuel Stewart, who will be showcasing their talent to the east-side crowd.

If I'm out and about, I'll be heading to Spaceland for the Keys and Stewart and their indie counterparts.
