Go out and rock the vote today...and then celebrate your civic deeds with some awesome live music. No post ballot box party will rage harder than Check Yo Ponytail's 2 year anniversary show with Andrew WK at the Echoplex. Supporting acts include Icona Pop and Diamond Rings - who are both pretty entertaining too. Tickets are only $10 - and there will certainly be something to celebrate.
For those light in their wallets - the charming sweet sounds of Gavin Turek can be heard at The Central SAPC for free. She is joined by Noa Dori, ORCA Team and LA Girlfriend to kick off her month long residency.

Close followers of the LA live music scene or frequent foot traffickers of Sunset in Silverlake and Echo Park may have noticed an absence of Check Yo Ponytail shows this week - but rest assured, Franki Chan, Danny Johnson and family are not asleep at the wheel. They are steering their party to an epic two year celebration.
They've recruited the biggest party animal of them all - Andrew W.K. - to headline their (re)birthday party at The Echoplex that includes additional music from Icona Pop, Diamond Rings, Cherie Lily and Aleister X. Its 18+ and advance tickets are only $10 - so there is no doubt this thing sells out. Get your tickets - or try to win them via SUPERGOOD, but we've only got one pair to share so you might just want to buy....If you feel like testing your luck too - just tweet out @checkyoponytail @supergoodmusic @iheartcomix and @andrewWK to enter or email us at contest@supergoodmusic.com.
If you didn't think the epic birthday party was enough of a treat - Iheartcomix is also hosting Dark Dark Dark, Emily Wells and Miss M.E. at The Echoplex on the 5th and Mount Kimbie with Grenier and Groundislava on the 8th at Los Globos. Look for giveaways to those shows in next week's Concert Blast.
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.
