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?

Kimbra // Jessie Ware // Movement

#LAskeez is here ready to give the #skeezies our top show recommendations of the day. 

There's three stand out shows along with one bonus so let's get to it. 

Kimbra is an Australian native and frequent Bootleg Theatre "Space Jam" show stopper. 

Tonight she's playing a sold out show at the Roxy. Tickets were $20 and they're all gone. 

Jessie Ware and her soulful voice will be performing at the Tower Theatre. Tickets are $40 and were hard to come by. Her camp had set up a lotto system for her fans to purchase tickets. Every venue she plays seems to get bigger and bigger every time. 

Movement is finally headlining their own show tonight at the Satellite. Tickets are $12-14. After two nights of opening up for Banks at the Wiltern these guys are definitely going to be all warmed up for tonights show. 

::BONUS::

TV on The Radio will be performing again tonight at the Mayan. The tickets are $35.50 each and there's still some tickets available. 

Arctic Monkeys // Jagwar Ma // The Temper Trap

Free shows are always a good way to start.

Over at the Santa Monica Pier tonight at 7:00pm, Jagwar Ma will be performing. 

Jagwar Ma

Starting off the night for Jagwar Ma is KCRW's smooth voice operator Mr. Jason Bentley. A Free good music event down at the Pier never seems like a bad option. OH summer we love the Free events you bring. 

Jason Bentley


The Roxy is a classic venue to watch anyone and tonight The Temper Trap will seize the stage for the #skeezies enjoyment. A $25 ticket fee may be worth the admission to see a little sweet disposition.

Tonight's big venue event goes to....no not to Rihanna and Eminem at the Rose Bowl (although they are playing)  but to the Arctic Monkeys!!!

#LAskeez wonders if Morrissey is still ify about these guys. Who knows but they will be playing at the Staples Center.  

Opening up for them is the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. This song featured at the bottom here was an #LAskeez favorite.

The Freeway Series seems to be favoring the Dodgers!

They beat the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim last night 2-1. Thank you Haren! 

Dodger fans will once again take over Angel Stadium today at 7:05pm to show those Angels fans that Dodger fans are the boss. 

GO DODGERS! 

Cloud Nothings/ Tijuana Panthers

Now that everyone is recovering from all the glitz and glam from the Cher show last night it's time to move on. Unless that is, you're seeing her again over at the Honda Center in Anaheim.

For the non-Cher fans, there's some good shows tonight. 

Cloud Nothings

At Roxy Theatre in Hollywood, Cloud Nothings will be rocking out. They're a 3 piece "indie rock" band (used to be 4, but you know... politics) from Cleveland, Ohio. Wonder if they're rooting for Lebron to make it back home to the Cavaliers. Who knows but anyway for $20 you can catch them and a few opening acts: Metz, The Wytches, EM T, & DJ Steen.  

If you #skeezies  are on a budget and looking for a Free solid show, head over to Amoeba in Hollywood to see the Tijuana Panthers. 

The lines are always out the door for free shows so be mentally prepared for the madness. #LAskeez translation: get there before the scheduled 6pm time. If you buy their new album they will sign it. Not a bad deal.  

$20 show at the Roxy or Free Amoeba show. The choice is in your hands. You can always just stay home and watch the Dodgers play the Detroit Tigers at 4:08pm. Not sure what's up with the "4:08" programmed time but #LAskeez is guessing it has to do with a long commercial(s) or something. Go Dodgers and congrats to the 4 Dodger All-Stars! 

LA Kings/ Sam Smith/ Electric Six

The Kings need to stop messing around and win the Stanley Cup already! Geeesh the Rangers were lucky to have prevented a sweeeep but tonight at 5:00pm #LAskeez will hopefully be celebrating a championship, as all Angelinos will!

GO KINGS GO! 

Tickets to see Sam Smith perform at The Greek Theatre go on sale TODAY!!! This is the second show that was added so make sure not to miss out on this. Come October I'm sure you #skeezies aren't just going to want to read about it, you are going to want to be there. 

As for shows going on tonight---turns out the band Electric Six is still around and they will be perfuming at the Roxy Theatre tonight. 

Watch the Kings game or go to a show. The choice is yours! 

M.I.A.-Banks-Chet Faker

Good Day #skeezies! 

Here in LA the weekends start on Thursdays. 

There's 3 amazing shows going on tonight and unfortunately #LAskeez can only make it out to one. 

MIA....Banks...Chet Faker...

After randomly throwing a coin up in the air #LAskeez will attend the M.I.A. show over at the +Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall. So let's start getting pumped!

Today is definitely one of those moments were you wish you can duplicated yourself and be at multiple places at once. Technology hasn't allowed for that yet but over at the El Rey Theatre, Banks will be performing along with +Jerome LOL opening up! 

 

If those two shows weren't already more than enough for a Thursday evening, Chet Faker will be playing in Hollywood at the Roxy theatre.

 

Hopefully you #skeezies can make it out to one of these awesome shows. None will disappoint, unless you don't make it in.
