Tonight in L.A. (October 12, 2012)

I'm going to chop it up in the crowd at The Gossip - and if you need something uplifting and energetic, I strongly recommend you join me at Fonda Theatre tonight for Beth Ditto and friends' show.  Over in the same neighborhood - the XX play to a sold out crowd at Hollywood Palladium, Zedd and Porter Robinson drop heavy beats at Avalon and Wick-It The Instigator does the same at King King Club.





Australian indie rockers Strange Talk go under at The Echo with help from Hundred Waters and Wildcat! Wildcat!
