Tonight in L.A. (October 3, 2012) - L.A.'s Concert Options for Tonight

Whether it’s the new rocking sounds of The Black Keys, fun., Foster The People or some other band your parents haven't heard of - you can hear it all with the indie rock cover sounds of Black Crystal Wolf Kids as they launch their residency at The Viper Room.

Along with BCWK – on the Sunset Strip KROQ Locals Only throws down at On The Rox with NO, Beach Party and The New Limb.   Head east and you’ll find Father John Misty and Daniel Lanois at Bootleg Theater, Eyes Lips Eyes and the debut performance of Hobart W. Fink at The Satellite (for FREE too) and the kickoff to FILTER MAGAZINE's CULTURE COLLIDE FESTIVAL!  Over at Taix lounge - you get an intimate treat from Penguin Prison, The Chevin and School of Seven Bells.  If you're not already figuring out how you're making your way to Taix - you're either busy, don't like discovering music or sipping a bit too much weak sauce today.   Or maybe you just can't handle that energy in that little room - in which case - go really east and you can relax with Conor Oberst’s melancholy rock and Jenny Lewis at Fox Theater Pomona. 

And, last but not least, the native Chicago homie Prob Cause is spitting at Taix for Culture Collide Festival as well.  He goes on at 10:30 and his new video Flex (above) is all over MTV.  Get hip to it.
