Los Angeles Tonight (March 7, 2013)

In terms of the concert calendar, the weekend arrives early tonight.  Lots and lots of solid line-ups around town.  Rising indie acts Youngblood Hawke and The Mowgli's sold out The Troubadour, and then added glowing soul child Zak Waters to the bill.  Early arrival suggested.





If you're seeking beats - UZ lays down something mysterious and filthy at Club Nokia with special guest 12th Planet, as well as support from French Fries and Jerome LOL.  Female beat commander ILL-esha drops by King King Hollywood with Phutureprimitive and Buku.  A few miles West on Sunset Blvd., Nit Grit, Antiserum and Stratus are some of the last electronic artists to grace Key Club's stages before they close their doors.  For less wobble, but plenty of dancing, consider EC Twins and friends at Exchange LA, Flight Facilities at The Observatory or try Laidback Luke and Brazzabelle at Fox Theater Pomona.  



Other notable shows include MC Lars for FREE at Slidebar, The James Hunter Six crooning at El Rey Theatre and Anuhea at The Roxy.  Full list of Thursday night L.A. shows below...
