Tonight in L.A. (October 4, 2012) - Who's Playing L.A. Tonight?

The 4th of October may not be a holiday - but its certainly a musical celebration in Los Angeles as it brings the public launch of Filter Magazine's Culture Collide Festival, amongst other events.

Culture Collide is only $20 for four nights of all-in music off of Sunset in Silverlake - with Taix, The Echo, The Echoplex, The Church and Origami Vinyl all playing host - so don't miss out on the action.  Tonight - SGM recommends the indie electro rock sounds of American Royalty at The Echo, although no matter where you end up - you should find something worldly and eclectic at Culture Collide.    

Kimbra returns to Fonda Theatre for a second night of her infectious pop - and she is again joined by The Stepkids.   If you've got time to spare or just love sexy soul - show up to the Hollywood neighborhood early and catch Miguel perform for free at Amoeba Records around 6 pm.     

If you want to be at a venue that will force you to move a little bit - there is always the weekly VS party at The Central SAPC.  

For more toned down sounds - Dr. Dog plucks some strings at The Observatory and Jake Shimabukuro does the same over at Pepperdine University.   Coheed and Cambria treat a sold out crowd at Troubadour, The World Record celebrates the release of a double LP at The Echoplex and for a complete list of musical options - see below.  Our recommended performers are in bold.

The IHC week continues with Django Django, Vinyl Williams and Hott Mt on Wednesday at The Echo followed by The Dum Dum Girls "End of Daze"record release show the next night at Los Globos.  Supported by the smooth DJ style of Tamaryn and additional band-age from Tremellow and Dunes - the band celebrates the drop of its 4th Ep.  It will definitely be a noise pop release party for sure - coming just a year after their second album and presumably with a performance of "Lord Knows" which received accolades from Pitchfork, amongst others earlier this year.
