Tonight in L.A. (November 30, 2012)

Do the end of your month and start of your weekend right by going out to catch some live entertainment as there is PLENTY of it in Los Angeles tonight.  From another installment of No Doubt at Gibson Amphitheatre to Nas ruling the world with Lauryn Hill at Wiltern to Mike Dillon Band going go-go jungle dirty on drums at The Mint - many houses will be raging heavy tonight.

The aforementioned No Doubt get support from Fitz & The Tantrums and The Aggrolites making for a very special SoCal performance.





For Mike Dillon - we are giving away a couple pairs of tickets.  Just tweet out @mintLA or email contest@supergoodmusic.com to get in on the action.  If you dig jazz, but a more mellow version of it consider Bela Fleck & Marcus Roberts at Catalina Jazz Club.





Recent Capitol signees Capital Cities throw down a friday night indie pop electro party at The Roxy, but for heavier electronics I'd recommend Simian Mobile Disco at Fonda Theatre.  The dance floor will be sweaty and packed for them and Dave P.  To get down to the hip hop of so cal visit Key Club for Fashawn and Strong Arm Steady, with support from FOCI and hopefully some surprise appearances (Murs is in town....).





And, for laughter, consider Club Nokia because Shaquille O'Neal's All Star Comedy Jam never disappoints!

Tonight in L.A. (November 29, 2012)

If you'd like to enjoy a concert tonight to celebrate longtime SUPERGOODMUSIC Concert Blast subscriber Chris "Wicksauce" Wick's 30th Birthday  - I might suggest Mark De Clive Lowe's Church Sessions at Del Monte Speakeasy featuring Nia Andrews, amongst others.  Its close to the beach and they make some mean drinks downstairs at Townhouse.  Another alternative might be to go admit you're not worthy in the presence of Alice Cooper at Orpheum Theatre.  

Get close to everyone at Fonda Theatre when Alex Clare of recent Microsoft/Bing commercial fame rocks the house with support from Moshav.

For some local flavor - check out El Cid with Ninja Betty & The Nunchix, Thunderdikk and Fartbarf or the DJ action of Guns in The Sun crew and Bixel Boys at the Dance Right party at La Cita.  Full list of shows below...recommendations in bold.
