Tonight in L.A. (November 3, 2012)

Its back to the weekend - and if you haven't done enough with your Halloween costume at this point...well, you could go to HARD Presents Day of The Dead at LA Historic State Park and rage out with Justice, Diplo, Major Lazer, Zeds Dead, Knife Party, Dillon Francis, Crookers, AraabMUZIK, Nadastrom, Destructo, Kill The Noise and so many more.  Hard to imagine there is better music lined up tomorrow....and there is not, but there are plenty of sonic quasi-substitutes.

Dustbowl Revival puts together some solid roots reggae bluegrass rock at El Cid, Metalachi goes wild at Whisky A Go Go, and for the O.C. residents - Blackbird Blackbird and Wildcat! Wildcat! at Detroit Bar is a good choice.  For a full list of tonight's shows in Los Angeles - see below.

Tonight in L.A. (October 9, 2012)

There's a handful of music options this Tuesday - whether its Half Moon Run and Metric at The Greek Theatre or The Boners at Redwood Bar - something's gonna get you up.





Other musical events should elevate you too.  The fortunate ticket holders for Grimes at El Rey Theatre get to indulge in a sold out show and our fortunate contest winners will get the privilege of attending DIIV at The Echoplex, Michael Kiwanuka at John Anson Ford Amphitheatre or Yelawolf with Rittz at House of Blues - Sunset Strip.  All three of those shows will be satisfying depending on your sonic palate.  Personally - I like the grit of Yelawolf and Rittz.  





Other notables include Metalachi at Los Globos, Bad Pus at The Mint and Jeff The Brotherhood at Troubadour.  Full list of concerts in L.A. tonight is below.
