Moon Black Party // Lana Del Rey // Culture Collide

      Hey there #skeezies, hope you're ready for some weekend fun      because there's a lot of it today. 

Some events are repeating themselves today but in addition to that we have another festival to look forward to. 

Over at the Pomona Fairplex, Moon Black Party will be taking place. What is it exactly? Well glad you asked because #LAskeez can tell you all about it. Basically, there's going to be three stages, food, the works. The bands on the billet are kinda awesome--example: Spoon, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and Band of Skulls to name a few. The admission of $45 gives you access to 10 hrs of fun. the event is from Noon to 10pm. 

Lana Del Rey blew away the crowd last night. Some people cried while some sang along as others cried and attempted sing along at the same time. The masses love Lana which is why she's playing at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery again for her second night here in LA. This is your last chance to scrabble around and find some tickets, maybe even try to sneak in. 

Sadly, the 5th annual Culture Collide ends today. So in case you're still wondering what it's all about the opportunity is yours for the taking. If you're a little unsure as to where in Echo Park the event is taking place, just follow the giant balloon(s). 

Lana Del Rey // The New Pornographers // Culture Collide

Alas it's Friday! 

#LAskeez is here to give you today's top show recommendations in and around LA. 

Hope you #skeezies are ready because there's no shortage of shows. 

The hottest ticket tonight is Lana Del Rey. She's playing at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery tonight AND tomorrow. Both shows sold out literally within two minutes. Tickets sold at $65 and they're reselling for double to triple the original price so consider yourself lucky if you came up on a ticket. There's nothing more appropriate than watching a show at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery during October. It's spooky yet fun. 

The New Pornographers have finally made their way down to LA. They're going to be over at Wiltern and tickets are in the $25-35 range. They've already performed once today on KCRW Morning Becomes Eclectic so you can always go online and check out their live set. 

$65 for Lana Del Rey, $25-35 for New Pornographers, or $30 for a wristband to Culture Collide which gives you access to see bands from all over the world! #LAskeez is no economist but something tells us that Culture Collide is the better deal of the evening. The event started yesterday, so the wristband would include access for tonight's activities along with tomorrow's fun.

Look out for the giant Culture Collides balloons in Echo Park, that's where you #skeezies want to be.  

Massive Attack // Of Montreal // Culture Collide

It's Thursday #skeezies! The weekend is almost here and #LAskeez can't wait. 

There's two shows and Culture Collide that #LAskeez needs to tell you about so let's getting right into it. 

Massive Attack. Everyone seems to love this British band from the late 80s and it's probably for a good reason. They're playing at the Greek Theatre tonight, which is absolutely perfect for this Fall like weather. Bundle up and take a little blanket since it gets chilly. 

Of Montreal is playing at the Mayan theatre. Idk what's going on but the Mayan and the Belasco Theatre seem to be snatching up a good amount of shows. Anyway you can enjoy Of Montreal for $20. Don't let their name fool you, they're from Georgia. 


******************************************************

Okay now that we got the little shows out of the way it's time to introduce the Festival of the week/end. It's the 5th Culture Collide here in LA and it starts today and ends on the 18th. 

Bottom line it's supposed to feature international artists/bands from all over the world hence the name Culture Collide. Aside from music there's also going to be a variety of foods and art. Where is this taking place? No other place than Echo Park. For $30 you get snatch up a wristband and partake. 

Here's a few music videos from bands that #LAskeez recommends checking out. 

Seems like a busy Thursday with a ton of options if #LAskeez has ever heard of one.
