Los Angeles Tonight (June 14, 2013)

CSS, MS Mr and IO Echo begin their weekend invasion of the greater LA region with a performance at The Observatory on Friday. Arguably the best show of the night – although Poolside and Goldroom DJing at Private Label at LURE or Casey Veggies and Travis Scott at El Rey Theater could carry that title depending on your musical preferences. All will be great --- as will Nipsey Hussle at House of Blues – Sunset Strip, The Blackeyed Soul Club at The Satellite, and Designer Drugs at Saint Rocke.  We have free tickets to give away to the latter.
