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.
