Justin Timberlake // Peter Hook // The Moth Storyslam

 #LAskeez is guilty of disappearing from time to time. From here on out we pledge to stop the disappearance acts and keep it going on the daily for the #skeezies.

It's a very pleasant Monday with temperatures reaching a chilly 79˚, yes because here in LA 79˚ is chilly. Enough with the formalities, here are todays top events. 

Justin Timberlake will be bringing sexy back tonight at the Forum in Inglewood. Tickets range from $70 to VIP packages that skyrocket all the way up to $570+. People love JT and want to be apart of the 20/20 experience. Show starts at 8pm, and if you're paying the big $$$ make sure you get there on time. 

So maybe paying a ton of money to see "JT" isn't your thing. That's okay because you can always go see the legendary Peter Hook perform for $23 (a ticket) at the intimated Glass House venue over in Pomona. Don't know who Peter Hook is? Well for starters he was the bassist for Joy Division. Yeaaah Joy Division, he was in the band and knew Ian Curtis himself. Peter Hook is one of  #LAskeez's favorite bass players. His baselines are like no other and very distinctive. Not to mention, his involvement in New Order goes to show you how dynamic this guy is. Doors are 8pm and to keep it real this is a show you need to witness. 

Tonight marks the 24th night of the Redbull Sound Select "30 days in LA". The events are slowly coming to an end but we are certain that these last 6 events will be absolutely amazing. #LAskeez would of said "epic" but we don't support that overly used word. 

On the 24th night, The Moth Storyslam will be invading Los Globos (here in Silverlake). The price of admission...FREE with rsvp that is. The Moth Storyslam is a night of story telling from people in the audience. Most of these storytellers always happen to be aspiring writers, screenwriters, etc but nevertheless its a good time. Everyone needs to check it out at least once.  

                            

Foo Fighters // Foster the People // RAC // Death from Above 1979 // Slayer

Hope the #skeezies  are ready because the evening is full of shows.
#LAskeez will be highlighting not one, not two, but FIVE shows!

The show that has everyone talking is the Foo Fighter show. Big deal they play all the time right? NO! This show is on a league of it's own. Why? Well they're going to be jamming out at the Roxy. Imagine that, the Foo Fighters at the Roxy. This was a "secret" show they decided to put together and the only ways in are to know someone or win through an Amoeba or AXS contest. You better believe that Dave Grohl is going to have a lot of fun with this. 

Alright Foster the People. Known for their Pumped Up Kicks and former month long resident holders to our beloved The Echo venue a few years back--they have long graduated from the Echo Park scene and are now charging  $51-67 per ticket to see them perform at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall. Doors are at 7pm and there's two opening acts so expect them late into the evening. Tickets are still available via ticket master. 

One of #LAskeez's all time favorite bands goes to Death From Above 1979. They will be performing tonight for the Red Bull Sound Select '30 days in LA'. Tonight marks the 14th night and DFA1979 will be giving the new Regent Theatre a true 'breaking in'. Like all other Red Bull events these tickets were only $15. These two Canadian guys really know how to fill a room with a ton of sound so take some earplugs if you want to preserve some of your hearing. Trust us, you will still be able to hear plenty with the earplugs on. 

If you can handle DFA1979 and want a little more SLAYER can definitely fill that void. These metal guys from Huntington Park will be shredding the Forum. These tickets are pricey...starting at $70-300. Those prices are hardcore. 

Lastly, For $34 (Tickets still available via AXS) you can head over to the Fonda and check out RAC. Don't be shocked if there are a few surprised guests that join him on stage. Maybe Tegan and Sara, Kele, Tokyo Police Club...who knows. He is a remix artist collective which should translate on the stage. 

Hello Kitty Con 2014 // Marilyn Manson // Queens of the Stone Age

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 

and it's FRIDAY! 

That for sure means that every where you go it is going to be crowded, full of costumes, and potentially full of a lot of drunkies. So be safe out there #skeezies and take an Uber or a Lyft. 

There's some great events going on all over the city but today #LAskeez is going to direct you two one event and two shows. 

Okay here it goes; Hello Kitty Con 2014! Go out and celebrate the 40th anniversary of Hello Kitty at the MOCA. Yesterday was a historic FIRST ever Hello Kitty Convention Opening Day and #LAskeez to Katie Perry were up in the mix. They have everything from a Hello Kitty Spam Musubi Kit to a $450 limited edition Hello Kitty brush set. They have it all. If you decide to go into "the store" make sure you line up immediately. Yesterday they cut off the line around 4:30pm due to the capacity. The Convention ends on Nov 2nd so make sure you do whatever it is you have to do to get a ticket! 

The only appropriate Halloween show of the evening goes to Marilyn Manson. He's performing at the Roxy for $49.50! If you've never been to the Roxy, it's tiny and it's exactly where you would want to see Marilyn Manson on Halloween! After the show you can head over to WEHO and check out all the amazing costumes. 

Honorable Mention: 

Queens of the Stone Age. They don't have the same Halloween feel as Marilyn Manson does but it's close enough. They will be playing at the Forum tonight and you can find tickets anywhere between the price range of $30-70. Plus, The Kills will be opening up for them! How awesome is that?

Plenty of Shows and Child of God by James Franco

There's no reason for any #skeezies to stay home today. 

The weekend is here and it is in full force. 

Arcade Fire

Arcade Fire will be at The Forum tonight, opening up for them will be Dan Deacon and the Unicorns. Solid opening acts. This should be a good one! 

If you're not into the whole big arena concert vibe like #LAskeez, it's all good. The Orpheum Theatre in DTLA is beautiful and imitate enough. Echo and the Bunnymen have finally made their way into LA and will be playing there tonight! 

Be ready for some sugar kisses! 

 

Still not small enough of a venue for you? Geesh tough crowd but luckily for the #skeezies Miniature Tigers will be playing at the Echo. It's budget friendly $12-15 a ticket and appropriate music for the venue. 

So you're really on a budget and the $12-15 ticket is out of the question. You need Free.  Get your butts to the LA Natural History Museum for a night in the garden. Music, food trucks, drinks and good company my be right up your alley. Check out their website to RSVP and you're in. 

So many things to do, so little time. What is #LAskeez going to do? #LAskeez is headed to the ArcLight Cinemas to watch the movie Child of God.

The movie was written and directed by James Franco  OH and let's not forget he stars in it. After the showing James Franco himself will be participating in a Q&A. People tend to share everything about themselves before they ask questions which always leads to interesting and sometimes very uncomfortable and awkward Q&A's. 

Happy Friday!
