Little Dragon // Tycho // Crystal Skulls

Good day, #LAskeez here ready to give you our top recommendations for the week but for starters let's start with what's going on today. LA always has something going on and #LAskeez is always willing to point you #skeezies in the right direction. Everyone wants a piece of the pie which is why when bands come into town for shows in LA they make a few pitstops on the outskirts. Today two of the three shows going on tonight are on the outskirts but you can decide if it's worth the drive. 

First up and an #LAskeez favorite, Little Dragon. They will be performing tonight at the Observatory in Santa Ana. #skeezies, this show should run you $35 a ticket. Little Dragon always puts on an amazing show so don't let the drive or price tag deter you. Besides they're coming all the way from Sweden to put on this show!

Next up: Tycho. If you haven't seen him, you should. This native Californian, can relax you at his shows with his music and simple visuals. This show is happening over in Pomona at the Glass House. The venue is an intimate one for sure, so anywhere you stand you will be alright. For those old school Glass House attendees that haven't been in a while, they've been selling alcohol now, so booze up. $25 is the admission for this show. 

Okay now back to the actual LA shows. Why drive anywhere and pay when you can just stay local, head over to the Echo and watch the Crystal Skulls for FREE?! Yeah, that option always seems like the best in #LAskeez's opinion. All these other acts are likely to come into town town eventually. 

The choice is yours and that's the #skeez.

FYF FEST

One of the most anticipated days in music and LA histerdom has finally arrived! That's right #Skeezies FYF starts today. There are many things to look forward to this weekend - whether it's people watching, the excitement and curiosity of this festival being at a new venue, or the the sheer talent that will be there, this "small" festival has evolved and #LAskeez can proudly say that it holds its own next to other coveted music festivals throughout the world.  

Let's get down to business he's the set times and #LAskeez's top 5 must see acts for today: 

XXYYXX, Chet Faker, Little Dragon, Interpol, & Grimes. Goodness this is going to be very very awesome. 

FYF Fest

Two days of great music in the City of Los Angeles= FYF FEST. When is it? 

Aug 24-25.

When do the tickets go on sale? 

TODAY AT NOON!!! 

Last year the festival was held at the L.A. State Historic Park which almost gave #LAskeez and everyone else that attended lungs full of dirt/dust. This year the festival will be held at the LA Sports Arena & Exposition Park which means no dust and hopefully more restrooms!  

Don't miss out #skeezies this is going to be a good one, I mean look at the line-up! 

#LAskeez is a little too excited for this so let me show you a few bands that will get you just as excited

INTERPOL!

+Grimes

+Little Dragon

+XXYYXX

 

Now that you're excited as #LAskeez--Don't miss out! This will sell out quick! 

XXYYXX/ Jessy Lanza/ Little Dragon/ Lightning In A Bottle

Happy Hump Day! Memorial Day Weekend is almost here! Road trips and BBQs will definitely be in full swing! Just make sure to invite #LAskeez for some good BBQ ;)

There's still time for #skeezies to pick up some tickets for tomorrow's shows liiiike...

 +XXYYXX with the Opening Act of Jessy Lanza at the Echoplex! As you #skeezies already know #LAskeez is a big fan of Jessy Lanza so tomorrow's show will be an electronic match made in heaven or close enough to it. 

XXYYXX

In case you forgot about our last Jessy Lanza's posts here's a quick little refresher of her sound

On a budget and can't afford any tickets? No worries +Little Dragon will be performing on the +Jimmy Kimmel Live show! It's a free event as long as you show up early and print out an rsvp which you can acquire from iota.com. +Little Dragon's new album is AMAZING so if any #skeezies can make it out to the Jimmy Kimmel show #LAskeez  HIGHLY recommends it. Let's not forget #LAskeez checked out Little Dragon during Coachella Weekend 1 and minus the horrible sound system (hopefully someone got fired) it was a good show. Jimmy Kimmel is a professional so the sound system should be up to par. 

Kicking off tomorrow and for the whole entire Memorial Day weekend is +Lightning In A Bottle!

What is +Lightning In A Bottle?

5 days of nonstop music in Bradley, California. 

Check out the line-up:

Among our favorites

+Moby

Of course-- +Little Dragon 

here's a different song

+Phantogram 

Simian Mobile Disco

There's more than plenty to do this weekend. Get out there, live life, and dance to some good music! 

Dodgers/ Coachella Weekend 2 Day 3

Happy Easter! 

The Chavez Ravine had another visit from #LAskeez last night as the Dodgers faced the Arizona Diamond Backs. The Dodgers were down 4-0 but with the help of Andre Ethier's 3 run homer and a couple of other runs the Dodgers won 6-8. The crowd was excited with the "W" and giveaway mats.

Coachella Weekend 1 Day 3

The desert winds were very intense yesterday. Hats were flying and the smart folks were wearing swimming goggles to protect their eyes from the dust and a handkerchiefs around their noses and mouth to prevent from breathing the mixture of cow manure, dirt, and guck. 

The wind even blew in some extra talent. Beyoncé made a guest appearance and performed with her sister Solange. Aren't you glad I recommended Solange yesterday? Aaand Gwen Stefani came out for a surprise performance with Pharrell!
