It's summer. It's Saturday. There's a lot of SUPERGOODMUSIC to see.
The second day of Jubilee Music & Arts Festival features performance by the Drums, Cayucas, Fool's Gold and SGM/JITV favorite RIFF RAFF.
Bjork brings her Bjork-ness to the Palladium.
Trippy kits will be plentiful at the House of Blues Sunset tonight where you can catch Juicy J in all his turnt up glory.
Last suggestion of the day is Ink-n-Iron Festival at the Queen Mary in Long Beach. Iggy and the Stooges headline with Black Joe Lewis, Dead Kennedy's, The Stone Foxes and whole lot more supporting.
Tonight is Grammy night in Los Angeles - for all the music aficionados that will be geared to the couch in the early evening, there is plenty later at night to get excited about. Whether its the return of Justin Timberlake at Hollywood Palladium or the charitable beat down at House of Blues with Deadmau5, Timbaland + Demetrius, Nero and Crookers.
For less mayhem, but still plenty of beats - Drai's hosts Salva and SMOG Sundays invades Echoplex with Youngsta, Icicle, Deco and Mesck. Full list of shows below:

Its not just any Saturday night in Los Angeles this week. While there are stars on the regular, there aren't always international stars with music videos that have garnered over a HALF BILLION views. If you've been living under a proverbial rock for most of 2012 or you are over the age of 70 - you may not have heard Gangnam Style - otherwise you probably are familiar with the PSY phenomenon. No joke - my three year old nephew and year old niece are even hip to it.
So - if you want to indulge in the hype - he is playing at House of Blues - Sunset Strip along with Brit star vocalist Ellie Goulding and Jay-Z's latest protege - Rita Ora. A solid line-up for fans of pop stars and their music.
For those with more eclectic tastes - I recommend the Peaches DJ Extravaganza at Fonda Theatre with support from Big Freedia. The artists are gaymous, the dance floor will be raging and you'll be encouraged to, amongst other things, get ass everywhere and fuck the pain away. Sounds sexual, aggressive and fun.
You'd be hard pressed to find a way to describe Crystal Castles as tame (they are not), but it will be less craybans at their show at Hollywood Palladium with Health and Kontravoid than it will be up the block at Fonda. Outside of the various Hollyhoods - I'd advise heading west (or west and north). Over at The Getty Center, Cold Cave turns in one of the late season Saturdays Off the 405 performances. In Santa Monica, The Central SAPC hosts its monthly Silent Frisco with a blend of NIN and Skrillex tonight. Pepperdine University brings Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue to their Malibu campus for some high quality New Orleans jazz and funk. All the way up in Santa Barbara - Snow Patrol and Lissie rock the Santa Barbara Bowl. As usual - a full list of tonight's L.A. shows are below.

HEALTH, Kontravoid @ Hollywood Palladium
The Dan Band @ Club Nokia
