Tonight in L.A. (December 29, 2012)

Wild final Saturday to end the year.   A Chromeo DJ Set at Exchange LA, Wolfgang Gartner at Yost and Funky Sole at The Echo with Cut Chemist mean there are at least three dance floors to grind your feet on.

Tonight in L.A. (December 6, 2012)

Hip hop fans should be cranking things up in West Hollywood a notch tonight with Clyde Carson slowing things down at Key Club and PacDiv, Tiron & Ayomari, Thurz (from U-N-I), Shawn Chrys and more getting urban at The Roxy.  You know you'll be able to catch me somewhere in that Sunset Strip hood.



Can't handle the top song on Power 106?  Maybe you want to laugh at Largo with Demetri Martin at his Infrequent Show with uncommon guests?  Or make a dance floor filthy with Lazrtag at Yost Theater?  Or see No Doubt bust out their final performance of their Gibson Amphitheatre run?  





Maybe you just want to keep it indie...in which case I recommend The Lonely Wild at The Echo.  For a complete list of tonight's LA shows see the list below.

• PacDiv, Tiron & Ayomari, Thurz, Shawn Chrys, Gentlemen Alphonse, DJ Paul Printz, Val The Vandal, Sean G @ The Roxy
