Tonight in L.A. (February 6, 2013)

Its a healthy humpday for music in the streets of Los Angeles.  Natives The Pharcyde celebrate their friends and fans with a free show at Key Club - and much further east on Sunset, the Dub Club squad celebrates Bob Marley's Birthday at The Echoplex.

Beats continue per usual at Low End Theory at The Airliner - with Free The Robots, Patrick Sexx and Elan joining the traditional crew of Daddy Kev, Gaslamp Killer and more.  

Delta Rae and ZZ Ward at Troubadour is a hot ticket - which is why it is sold out, but just a little North at The Viper Room, locals Warner Drive stage a return of sunset strip rock and roll.

Its a magnificent night of music to close out the first month of the year as Dave Grohl celebrates his documentary with a Sound City Players performance at Hollywood Palladium, a free KRS-ONE show at Slidebar and the improvisation skills of Marco Benevento and Mike Dillon at The Mint.

If those legends weren't enough - there is a healthy dosage of beatsmiths and producers descending on LA venues tonight too.  Free The Robots cuts up at Constellation Room while a pseudo Low End Theory crew celebrates the life of Austin Peralta at Del Monte Speakeasy when Daedelus, Teebs and Gaslamp Killer all lay down dope sets for the low cost of $5 entry (proceeds go to charity).

EXPANSION TONIGHT

Upscale electronic entertainment is back again with the third installment of Expansion at Hummingbird Nest ranch. With two successful events under their belt at two different parts of the property - Project Sweatshop and The Service Company are stepping it up a notch with more artists, more artwork and more fun invading the estate oasis in Simi Valley.

This month Free The Robots headline the affair, with support from Stephan Jacobs, who just brought proper tuneage to El Rey Theatre on Saturday night, as well as Low Limit from Laser Sword, Josh One, Wally Callerio, Kid Chameleon and more.

Come a little north and out on the 118 to experience the next level electronic event offerings. It is like an Insomniac event but without all the teenagers and people OD'd. It is like an event with really good electronic music and a level of sophistication. Basically, an electronic music event not to be missed. Plus, it takes place under the stars and you can actually see them!
