Money // Paul Oakenfold

Hey there #skeezies!

Todays is lacking of some shows that get #LAskeez excited about.

Never fear, all the good stuff is coming in the very near future. 

Our recommended default concerts for today are:

-The Hollywood Bowl- (not a bad default) to hear the L.A. Philharmonic. If the evening is anything like what's currently going on outside, it should be a pleasant.

Maybe checking out a new band is your thing today. So head over to the Echo to see Money, they're a couple of guys from the UK. 

OKay so you don't want to go to the Bowl because you hate stack parking and you don't feel like going to the Echo to check out a new band...you must want to dance. So this is why you are going straight to "Create NightClub" to see Paul Oakenfold. No one is judging you, go dance!

The Dodgers may be perfecting the art of destroying teams. 

Kershaw is on his 18th win and looking better than ever. Being this good shouldn't be legal. Sorry San Diego Padres but you didn't stand a chance last night. 

They're playing again tonight at 7:10pm.

Don't let up Dodgers, keep that fire going!

Atmosphere @ The Observatory

Good Morning #skeezies!

This California drought has everyone forgetting what rain looks like. Fortunately, we had a little preview of rain earlier this morning. After yesterday's extremely warm weather, this overcast is very nice.

As for as concerts go today, it's like our water supply...dry. 

Not much going on today. 

Which would make it a bad case of the Mondays. 

Atmosphere is playing at the Observatory in Santa Ana but that's about it.

How about them Dodgers !?

#LAskeez watched the Dodgers, destroyed the Arizona Diamondbacks 2-7!

Gonzalez and Kemp both had tremendous games. 

Let's hope they do the same to the San Diego Padres tonight at 7:10pm.

The Naked and Famous // The Zombies

All the way from New Zealand The Naked and Famous will be performing at The Echo. Everyone ends up at the Echo at least once. Whether it be The Rolling Stones or Lorde, making that Echo Park pit stop is a must these days. The show is sold out but there's always a hand full of tickets left at the box office available. Just get there early and you may be able to get in. 

So the #skeezies couldn't get into the Echo tonight, it's okay. To fill your music void, head over to the Santa Monica Pier for the Twilight Concert Series to see The Zombies with the Mystic Braves. The show starts at 7pm and it's FREE!!! Summer is winding down and this is one of the last free concert events so make sure not to miss out and go see these classic English men do their thing.

#LAskeez is tempted to boycott the Dodgers until they get it together and start winning some games! They don't seem to have a problem winning games on the road, maybe all their devoted fans get them nervous and they have lackluster performances at home. Whatever it is, please Dodgers, please get it together. You're suppose to win the World Series! 7:10pm tonight they will hopefully beat the San Diego Padres.

Jessica Hernandez & The Deltas

According to #LAskeez, there's not a whole lot of shows going on tonight but tomorrow evening at The Echo,  Jessica Hernandez and The Deltas will be performing. 

They're from Detroit and they certainly have their own thing going on. Give them a listen and who knows, it might be the best ten bucks you have ever spent for a show. 

The Dodgers easily swept the San Diego Padres yesterday and now take a break for the All-Star game. Yasiel Puig will be representing the boys in blue during the Home Run Derby tonight at 5pm. 

De Lux / Warpaint / Basement Jaxx

Last nights Free shows might have you #skeezies wanting more and you're in luck. If for whatever reason you missed De Lux over at the Hammer Museum it's okay, they will playing another Free show over in Long Beach at The Pike at Rainbow Harbor. It's moment's like this that you sometimes just can't pass up.

The lovely ladies of Warpaint will be performing tonight with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds over at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall. Tickets range from $20-80. 

#LAskeez would be more inclined to pay to see Basement Jaxx instead over at the 333 Live for $20-25 big ones. 

Basement Jaxx

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds (even Warpaint) can be a little too slow so pick up the tempo and get your little feet moving to Basement Jaxx. If you don't go to this show...where's your head at? 

There's always that wonderful option of opting out of shows and catching a Dodger game. They play the San Diego Padres again at 7:10pm.  There were a lot of disgruntled fans who didn't receive their Hello Kitty Travel Mug giveaway last night. Some received vouchers, others received nothing.  Kershaw ended his scoreless streak of 41 innings last night. The crowd gave him a standing ovation for his amazing performance. Luckily the Dodgers won 2-1 and will get another W tonight. 

Cults / James SuperCave / De Lux --FREE shows

One of the best things to look forward to during summer are the free shows. 

#Skeezies can catch a good solid show literally everywhere and anywhere--near the beach, DTLA, Hollywood, you name it. 

Today is one of those days. 

Two great shows for FREE!

Cults
 

A two piece band from New York know as the Cults, will be taking over the Twilight Concert Series at the Santa Monica Pier. Sounds like the perfect evening if you ask #LAskeez. An evening on Santa Monica Pier with the perfect summer night breeze is already magical as it is but when you add the sounds of the Cults, well take a date to impress. 

OH Yeah and James Supercave will be there performing on the Pier as well! What a line-up. 

Okay so maybe you're anti the outdoors. It's okay because there happens to be a cool indoor show going on. 

De Lux

Over at the Hammer Museum TONIGHT, De Lux will be performing a little something something for FREE. 

They're two youngish dudes that went to high school together, they're from Glendale and they're good at making music. If you're better at making time, make time for this show tonight by any means necessary. 

You can always ditch all the Free shows and go to the Dodger   game to watch them play the San Diego Padres. Kershaw will be pitching and today is the Hello Kitty travel mug giveaway. Perfect to take when you're on the go and need to represent the Dodgers.
