Los Angeles Tonight (May 12, 2013)

Happy Mother's Day. If you've got a mother - don't forget to call her. If you are a mother - don't forget to celebrate yourself. If you don't have a mother, and you're not a mother, then you should go see a mother-fucking show.....which is why you've got this Daily Dose (plus those with mothers should consider it too).

Tonight Los Angeles is graced by a hodge podge of Dustbowl Revival-ists at Del Monte Speakeasy for their curated jam session near the beach. Silverlake gets a visit from the best indie rock cover band around, Black Crystal Wolf Kids, who invade The Satellite for a FREE show along with Luffy and Ninja Butty & The Nunchix.

Los Angeles Tonight (May 11, 2013)

Before you go celebrating your mother on Sunday, celebrate some music.

Guitar aficionados unite at Fonda Theatre for some of MMJ's Jim James, where pop vocal fans rejoice in the high pitches of Marina and the Diamonds and Charli XCX at Club Nokia.  For nostalgic purposes - check out Bill Payne at The Mint, where he'll be playing and recounting Grateful Dead road stories.  We have a pair of tickets to give away for Mr. Payne.



We also have tickets to dish out for the final Silent Frisco at The Central SAPC.  Its Studio 54 night - so get on your dancing shoes.   Even though we don't have tickets to give away - the hilarious raps and qwerk antics of Turquoise Jeep Records and Kosha Dillz will be on display at The Roxy and we highly recommend going.





If you still are into dubstep music - then SMOG vs RESPECT at House of Blues could be your scene.  If you're into those indie hangs - Bootleg Gallery with Chrome Sparks, Tropicool, the homies from Downtown Lobby and more should satisfy you.
