Broken Bells // Big Freedia // We Can Survive

#LAskeez doesn't need to tell you that it's Friday! #skeezies  are ready to unwind and let loose for the weekend. 

There's no shortage of shows tonight so here are today's top 3 recommendations: 

The indie band Broken Bells will be playing tonight at the Orpheum Theatre. Tickets range anywhere between $35-45. It's always fun to see two people from different bands come together and form their own. If you recognize the vocals you would know that it's actually James Mercer from the Shins and Danger Mouse! 

If #LAskeez had to pick between tonight's shows, we would hands down pick Big Freedia. He's from New Orleans and has worked with the likes of Ru Paul, enough said. Big Freeda can bring out the bounce in anyone. His shows are HIGH energy so be ready for the dance party. You don't even know. Yes, gawd. 

Typically #LAskeez doesn't mention mainstream events but tonight's event at the Hollywood Bowl has a lot of heavy hitters and it's for a cause. $2 of the ticket sales for the "We Can Survive" event will be donated to the foundations Living Beyond Breast Cancer and the Young Survival Coalition. Some of the acts consist of Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Iggy Azalea, Pharrell, and Sia. Ticket for this show range from $49-250. 

Happy Friday!

Good Friday/ Coachella Weekend 2 Day 1

Happy Good Friday #skeezies! And I don't mean Kanye West's G.O.O.D Friday single releases from last year, I'm talking about the "Good Friday" that means Easter egg hunts and baskets.  

Most of you have school or work off today so take advantage of it and go out! 

 #LAskeez will be immersing into the city today which typically leads to some good blogging.

For those of you that are out in the desert right now for Coachella and need help figuring out which bands to see today. I'll be reposting exactly what I saw during Day 1 of Weekend 1. No need to scroll back to my previous posts. #LAskeez has your back!

Whenever The Knife set is over #LAskeez would suggest checking out the remainder of the 10. Outkast set. 

::Disclaimer there is a time conflict between Chromeo and Bonobo. The best thing to do in this situation is to spend 25 minutes in each tent/stage::
