Digitalism // Odd Future Carnival 2014 // The Downtown Festival

What a night. #LAskeez didn't make it to the fools gold show but we did make it out to see Rhye and Yacht. The new Regent Theatre is awesome and that's all due to the efforts and money that the folks over from the Echo invested into the venue. Tonight's another busy night so get ready for this #skeezies. 

Starting with the non festival show---Digitalism. The German duo will be at the El Rey tonight. For $22 you can dance the night away. Doors open at 8pm but #LAskeez would venue to say that they won't probably go on until 10pm. 

The 3rd Annual Odd Future Carnival Festival is today at the LA Coliseum. The Line is vey solid. From Pharrell, OFWGKTA, Murs, to Rick Ross to name a few. Tickets for this event are ranging anywhere between $85-225. Bottom line you better have some deep pockets if you're planning on attending or have a good hookup

Day 2 of the Downtown Festival which happens to be the last day as well is going on tonight. There's nothing like a new venue that you get to break in with equally excited concert goers that realize that this new venue is a game changer in the LA music scene. 

The line-up with set times looks like this:

7:30-8:45 Dj Travis Holcombe

8:30-9:10 Corners

9:30-10:10 Lydia Ainsworht

10:30-11:10 Mr Elevator and the Brain Hotel 

                                       11:30 Connan Mockasin

Mariachi El Bronx // Julian Casablancas & the Voidz // Mayer Hawthorne

Happy Hump Day to all the #skeezies! 

To celebrate getting through half of the work week #LAskeez has some shows to tell you about. 

Alright tonight at the El Rey, Mariachi El Bronx will be performing for $27 a ticket. If you've never heard of them don't let the name fool you. They're not Mexican nor are they from The Bronx. Just five guys from LA with names like Brad and Ken that play some music that sounds like a cross between ska/punk/rock/mariachi fused together which ends up meshing well. Which is why you need to check them out today. As a bonus, The Tijuana Panthers will be opening up!

Julian Casablancas & the Voidz will be performing what always seems to sound like an experimental set tonight at the Observatory. The admission for this garage band practice sound? $35 big ones. If you're lucky maybe he'll decide to sing one or two songs from The Strokes. 

If you haven't heard already. RedBull Sound Select is hosting 30 shows in 30 days all throughout the city. Tonight's show will include Mayer Hawthorne over at the Madame Tussauds in Hollywood. The guy can do it all---sing, rap, produce, play instruments, etc. That's probably why he was nominated for a grammy but now a days who isn't. He's djing tonight and the RSVP list is still open which means it's a FREE  event. Wax on Wax will perform as well. So if you're on a budget and still want to go out, this is your show. 

Jessie J // The Horros // The Drums

Hey there #skeezies!!

#LAskeez always seems to go on a brief hiatus during 3 day weekends. 

We're back so let's get back to the music shows going on tonight. 

FREE shows are always a fan favorite so let's tackle that first. 

The Drums will be playing a FREE show at Amoeba Records in Hollywood. 

You know the drill. Get there early. People come out in numbers for free shows so #LAskeez would advise getting there around 2pm-ish. Make sure you download some new apps to keep you busy since they won't perform until 6pm.

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

 For $22.50 over at the Observatory in Santa Ana--The Horrors will be taking over. Yep, it's a British invasion in this venue tonight. "So now you know". If you can't catch them tonight, they will be playing here in LA tomorrow at the Mayan Theatre. Oh and that show is going to cost you an extra $7.

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

Another British act will be performing tonight and she goes by the name of Jessie J. Some may even consider her the UKs version of Katy Perry but the point is...for $30 (which is a little too pricy for the El Rey standards) you can see her sing all her hit songs in a very small venue, which in that case may be worth the $30. Happy Tuesday and keep it #skeezy.

Simian Mobile Disco // The Kooks // Die Antwoord

Calling all #skeezies! Are you still with #LAskeez!? We've been slacking over here but we're back at it in full force. There's still time to make plans and watch a show.

Simian Mobile Disco is going to be bringing the dancing to the El Rey tonight. For $22 bucks you can dance your little hearts out.

 

Okay everyone loves options so here's another one for y'all 

Over at the Wiltern those British boy's known as the Kooks will be rocking out. 

Not feeling either shows I just mentioned? Well I have one more for you and this one will require a little drive over to the Santa Ana Observatory. All the way from South Africa, Die Antwoord will be getting weird and entertaining the crowd. 

Don't say #LAskeez never helped you out on a Thursday. 

We can not end this blog without mentioning the 2014 National League West Champions aka the Dodgers!

If you doubted Kershaw for a second, he sure made it crystal clear to everyone that he is indeed the MVP. Not only was his pitching on point, but his first career triple was kinda amazing. 

Congrats to the 2014 National League Champions! 

This is one of three celebrations that are to soon to come.
