Tonight in L.A. (February 23, 2013)

Its the last Saturday of February, a night before the Oscars and its time to get funky!   To help, Big Sam's Funky Nation is coming into town to let it all loose at The Mint.  Catch that trombone blow the roof of the Pico venue with some help from Quinn Deveaux.  

For some more talented musicianship consider seeing one of the masters of slide guitar - Robert Randolph - at Royce Hall.  





Those funky and jazz tickets sometimes can be a little outside the price range - so maybe you need some cheaper (or free) options.  Funky Sole's weekly event goes down at The Echo, and is free before 11.  Tonight Oliver Wang does a special DJ set.  Another DJ party with a low price tag is Chrome Canyons and Peanut Butter Wolf over at Los Globos.  For a little more money you can get a little freakier with Freq Nasty and LowRIDERz at El Rey Theatre.  





No list would be complete without mentioning that 311 invades The Roxy for the first of two nights that are certain to sell out and be packed to the gills.  DJ Unite opens up at the venue.
