Its a magnificent night of music to close out the first month of the year as Dave Grohl celebrates his documentary with a Sound City Players performance at Hollywood Palladium, a free KRS-ONE show at Slidebar and the improvisation skills of Marco Benevento and Mike Dillon at The Mint.
If those legends weren't enough - there is a healthy dosage of beatsmiths and producers descending on LA venues tonight too. Free The Robots cuts up at Constellation Room while a pseudo Low End Theory crew celebrates the life of Austin Peralta at Del Monte Speakeasy when Daedelus, Teebs and Gaslamp Killer all lay down dope sets for the low cost of $5 entry (proceeds go to charity).

Its the last night to see a concert in 2012 - so make a good choice to close out your year. LA provides no shortage of those on this Monday night. Ring the new year with beats from your favorite DJs at a handful of quasi-underground events including Expansion NYE with Daedelus, Tokimonsta, Robert Raimon Roy, A. Chal and So Japan or the Stones Throw family that includes Peanut Butter Wolf, Mayer Hawthorne and J. Rocc, amongst others. Get tickets to Expansion here.
For some above ground dance floor action - consider Zedd and Nicky Romero at Club Nokia, Markus Schulz at Avalon, Pizza Party at The Central SAPC or Sasha at Exchange LA.
The Sunset Strip heats up with some soul stylings courtesy of Vintage Trouble at The Roxy, posse raps from A$AP Rocky at House of Blues and some unique Bay Area vernacular supplied by E-40 at Key Club.
No list would be complete without consideration for California grown reggae act Rebelution at Hollywood Palladium or mention of Kendrick Lamar's takeover of the Observatory. Dustbowl Revival hosting "Midnight in Venice" at Del Monte Speakeasy should be some throwback fun as well.
A full list of shows is below:
A$AP ROCKY @
House of Blues – Sunset Strip
Cake @ The Wiltern

Happy Halloween. The LA concert calendar gets some real treats on this night - like the LACMA Halloween Ball featuring a Stanley Kubrick Exhibition and the soundscapes of Daedelus and his Archimedes exhibition. Wickedly ill is one apt way to describe that event.
The same could be said for another location that Daedelus is familiar with - The Airliner and Low End Theory. Karreim Riggins, Nastynasty, Daddy Kev, Nobody, Gaslamp Killer and Nocando all get down plus an very very special guest. If you want to figure out who that is - you better be wearing a costume or be prepared to cough up a nice benjamin - because its a $100 cover for the costume-less. Another Halloween party is taking place at The CenTRILL SAPC. Its not really spelled like that - but with Trill Murray, Inspired Flight and Minnesota all performing at a special Halloween jam, it should be for this night.
As far as dance parties go though - I may be most excited for the sexy new disco of Disclosure at El Rey Theatre. If you want hot sexy dance tunes - look no further than these boys from across the pond.
Elsewhere - I really like Dustbowl Revival at Virgil. They will be having fun - no matter whether they're rocking a 5 piece or 10 piece or something in between (rumor has it there will be a healthy lot of them for Halloween). The Mint hosts the well traveled Donna The Buffalo with support from The Makepeace Brothers, All Time Low rocks The House of Blues on Sunset, and local soulful funk crew House of Vibe All Stars hold things down for westsiders at Harvelles.

Today is not just an ordinary first Saturday. Today and tonight is a circus of music in Los Angeles.
From the early afternoon musings of B.A.M. in Santa Monica featuring a couple of bands - including roots rock faves Dustbowl Revival to the eclectic soundscapes at the 14th Annual Eagle Rock Music Festival and Filter Magazine's 3rd Culture Collide Festival - LA has it going on.
If you're choosing between ERMF and Culture Collide - your love of the beat scene or lack thereof should dictate your choice. If you love beat culture - I'd recommend a visit to ERMF because Thundercat, Daedelus, Peanut Butter Wolf, Jonwayne, J-Rocc and Dub Club Sound System are all playing. If you don't - the rock offerings of Culture Collide features a plethora of international talent and artists you couldn't see on most other weekends in LA. Whereas ERMF has a lot of local rock talent - tonight's Culture Collide line-up features the likes of Of Montreal, Icona Pop, Niki and The Dove, Gold Fields and more.
Also on the east side of town - Stepdad rocks The Satellite and Furthur featuring Bob Weir and Phil Lesh jams the Greek Theatre.
Staples Center hosts The Black Keys with Tegan and Sara for a second night in a row - and The Roxy sees the return of She Wants Revenge and Franki Chan - this time with The Child and The Lonely Trees as additional support. Also on the strip - Xzibit headlines Key Club with a handful of local MCs on their grind, including FOCI, opening.
The sleeper show of the night has to be Shpongle Presents: The Masquerade at Hollywood Palladium - apparently Michael Menert and Break Science were just added to the bill. We have a pair of tickets to give away to that - so do hit us up at contest@supergoodmusic.com or tweet out @supergoodmusic @thepalladium.
Other notables include Dustbowl Revival's double duty at B.A.M. and then McCabe's in Santa Monica, Z.Z. Ward at Space 15 Twenty in the early evening, Yelawolf and Rittz and The Observatory and The Soul of John Black at WitZend. All recommendations are in bold below.
