Monday in Los Angeles means It's A School Night at Bardot. Tonight Travis Garland, Treetop Flyers and Micah Green are showcasing their goods.
The Steelwells are playing at the Observatory in Orange County.
It's the last night of the June residencies, so if you haven't had a chance, catch King at The Bootleg Theatre, Hindu Pirates at the Echo and/or Queen Caveat at the Satellite.
Throw on your swan outfits, Bjork is in town and playing the Hollywood Bowl tonight.
If that ain't your jam, perhaps you want to get down with the Alkaline Trio at The House of Blues Sunset or close out Tom Petty's six night run at The Fonda.
Colleen Green also plays The Satellite and Anamanaguchi is at The Echo, now say that five times fast and go have yourself a music-filled Turn Up Tuesday.

Happy friggin Friday! Lot's to be heard this FF too, so don't let the couch suck you in after NBA playoff games are over, get up and get heady.
Go see The Cave Singers at The Bootleg, because they are awesome. Or go freak it to Crystal Castles at The Hollywood Palladium, because that too would be awesome.
BritWeek kicks off at The Echo with The Veils, Andy Burrows, and Pop Noir.
DJ Shadow is at The Observatory, remember to wait for the drop...
Or go hear some Chappo w/ Francisco the Man at The Satellite.
All good choices, all there for the taking Los Angeles...
So it's BritWeek in Los Angeles and The Echo is celebrating with some sweet billings. If you don't know, BritWeek is "a celebration of all things British in California," so the bands playing are Brit'ish, duh. Whether or not the taco cart down the street is serving bangers and mash is unconfirmed.
Night one (Friday 4/26) features The Veils, they're on Rough Trade Records and they get muchos hits on YouTube. If that isn't enough for you to make this show your Friday evening plans then you should give them a listen and decide after that. They're accompanied by Andy Burrows and Pop Noir.
You can assume that night two (Saturday 4/27) is going to be a fairly crowded event as it's headlined by New Build, a love child hatched between members of Hot Chip and a member of LCD Soundsystem (yes, the LCD Soundsytem, OMG). Expect a sweaty room full of hipsters, I'm not trying to sell it short with that, it will no doubt be awesome. That bill is also packed with other artists, I will leave it to you to Google them. I trust you will. Update: This event got moved because The Rolling Stones scheduled a surprise performance at The Echopl
Night three is Steve Mason with Dark Furs opening. The poster has Beta Band in parentheses so I dunno if that means he's with the Beta Band or performing their songs, or what, but it's on the poster, so there. Update: Steve Mason not able to make it due to Visa issues.
Night four (Tuesday 4/30) passes the reigns to Chad Valley he will coo to you in a Brittish accent while thizzy beats get all dissonant in the background. You will swoon.
They close it out on Night five (Thursday May 2) with Little Boots, who is hot, apparently has small feet, and will make you dance.
In conclusion, GO TO THE ECHO FOR BRITWEEK DAMMIT!
It's hump day, so hump, but see some music first, you know, to get in the mood...
It's a relatively slow evening, and we'd say your best shot at a good time would be to go see Bass Drum of Death, Tijuana Panthers, and Beach Party at The Bootleg, if that's the mood you're looking for. If not, well there's SKATERS at The Echo and The Armada at The Satellite.
Here's to hoping tomorrow is a bit more turnt up...
It's Sunday, a day of rest, or a day you can use to go hear some tunes... If you're doing the latter then let us recommend either Mudhoney at the Echo (because Mudhoney is awesome), or Penguin Prison at Drai's in Hollywood... Neither is a bad decision.
Not going to the make it out to the desert to play with glow sticks tonight? Don't fret, there's plenty to do in LA and far less risk of dehydration.
Most venues in LA will also let you in with glow sticks, you know, if you want the ambiance. Like at The Mint for Elephant Revival, they're not going to tell you to put away your glow stick. Win tickets for that via our giveaways page by tweeting at us or emailing contests@supergoodmusic.com.
Glow sticks will most likely also be welcomed at the Passion Pit/Tanlines show at the Nokia Theater, or Savages at The Echo. Those shows are both sold out, so hit up the Craiglist yo... The full list of places you can take your glow sticks is below.
Happy Monday! Time to extend the weekend and decide where you're going to celebrate once Michigan wins the National Championship tonight.
A couple directions we might push you in would be The Diamond Light and Gavin Turek at The Bootleg Bar or Watch the Duck at Bardot for It's a School Night. Both of those options are free...
If you won your brackets and have some extra cash maybe you want to check out Thao & The Get Down Stay Down with Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside at The Troubadour or go get turnt with ASVP Rocky at Staples Center... The full list of tonight goings on is below.
Chief, Warships, The Last Internationale, In Leagues @ The Satellite (FREE)

Hump day yo! Insert sexual innuendo there and proceed to the recommended concerts that will no doubt help you find that hump at the end of the day. I mean, get over that hump.
Anyhow, an exceptional week of music offerings continues in Los Angeles with Mos Def at The Belasco Theater. It's not so often that this place has a concert going on, and this happens to be an awesome one, so if you've got tix or still can get, then lucky you. Also lucky you if you're going to check out Imagine Dragons at The Wiltern for their Night Visions Tour or Wavves + FIDLAR, & Cheatahs at The Echo. I know for sure the latter is sold out, so hit the Craigslist if you're trying to get there last minute. It should be pretty fuzzy up in there. I expect a lot of angst riddled youngins who are angry with their parents to attend.
However, if you have no tickets to any of the bigger marquees this evening and your pockets are running a bit thin, consider the packed line up at tonight's Low End Theory at The Airliner featuring Baths, DAUWD, Dark Time Sunshine, TA-KU + residents Daddy Kev, Nobody, The Gaslamp Killer, D-Styles, & Nocando, that place will probably be pretty turnt tonight. Question is, will you?
Oh man, it's St. Paddy's Day. definitely not my favorite holiday, I suppose that's the Jew in me, but I'm not going to be a St. Paddy's Day Grinch. That's bad vibes, I hate those more so then I do watching girls puke green stuff in the streets. So I encourage you all to wear all shades of green, drink green stuff, and smoke green stuff today, and also, to go slur your words at some concerts, cause you can yell as loud as you want at a show, sometimes it's encouraged, you know, if it's that type of show. Don't bring a drum to a Phish show though, my buddy learned that the hard way.
So then, if after that intro you're like "dude, what shows are there to see?" Well here is my response:
Over on the Westside The Toledo Show is going down at Harvelle's, and that's always a good time. Dude is wild. Plus he's got dancing ladies. Don't go if you are allergic to Black & Mild smoke.
If you'd prefer blurrily stumbling through Downtown LA, then we're never ones to dissuade you from taking in a Dustbowl Revival performance. They'll be playing for free at The Redwood Bar joined by The Cerny Brothers and The Show Ponies.
There are some cool St. Paddy's day events going off on the hip side of town (Echo Park/Silverlake). Part Time Punks is never a bad call, especially on a night when they've got the CRASS tribute band covering "Penis Envy." There's also Olin's 11th Annual St. Paddy's Day Bash over at The Satellite. There they'll be performing "Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash" by The Pogues, that actually sounds like a damn good time. There's some other stuff on the Sunday calendar, so check out the blast if none of that floats your boat.
If you take it easy tonight no worries, SXSW is officially donezo for 2013, and LA is about to catch a wave of good music as a result. So keep it heady, and in honor of St. Paddy, when in doubt, puke it out!
Keep the first weekend of February moving in the right direction with some old school 45 anthems from Funky Sole at The Echo (free before 11) or the massive electronic sounds of Porter Robinson at Hollywood Palladium. Speaking of the Palladium...don't sleep on those Justin Timberlake tickets going on sale for Grammy night. His return will be an epic show I'm sure.
Beyond dance floor action - you can get some throwback soul from Earth Wind & Fire at Fantasy Springs Resort, some lessons in pimping from Too $hort at Canyons, laughs courtesy of Adam Carolla at The Roxy and rock-esque stylings from Gram Rabbit at LA Fort and Dengue Fever at Detroit Bar.

Kick off your month (and Super Bowl weekend) on the right foot with a variety of musical options in Los Angeles. Personal favorites - Karl Denson's Tiny Universe are set to funk things up at El Rey Theatre with support from Howlin' Rain while other skilled instrumentalists, The Wood Brothers, provide a more laid back set of sounds at Largo.
For more aggressive rock consider Hell Ride featuring Mike Watt, Peter Distefano, Stephen Perkins and more at The Central SAPC. For the jams - ALO and The California Honeydrops at Troubadour would definitely be a stellar choice.
Rising star Father John Misty performs at SoHo House while a buzzband of yesteryear, The Happy Hollows, try to fill up The Satellite. For eclectic, cool and a good crowd - The Natural History Museum hosts electrifying performer Gaslamp Killer and his bobbing headnod and The Echo brings in Geographer.

Its not your average hump day here in LA to end the first month of 2013 because of the artists playing in town. Its the end of a slamming guitar rocking residency at The Mint which featured Eric McFadden for five weeks and the appearance of the aging Who at Staples Center.
While Townsend and friends attempt to take a hefty crowd to a teenage wasteland, plenty of emerging artists will be stamping their identity on some LA sonic enclaves. Kyle Nicolaides pumps out emotional and sometimes dark songwriting at Room 5 Lounge, Lushlife,Groundislava and Zak Waters deliver a healthy and diverse set of local music flavor at The Echo, Antibalas gets a little tribal beat at Troubadour and Hot Buttered Rum jams some free bluegrass at Slidebar.
Other notables include Metalachi and Great White Buffalo at El Cid and Niki & The Dove at The Barn with Vacationer as support. Full list of Wednesday's shows below....
Steve Delameter, Kyle
Nicolaides, Lucinda Ora @ Room 5 Lounge
Willy Mason w/ Escondido, The Cerny Brothers, Yoya @ The
Hotel Café
