Weezer // Moby // Ryan Adams

Now that the rain has cleared all the smog from LA, #skeezies can now see the mountains and a crisp clear LA skyline. Happy Holidays from Mother Earth! Alright back to the shows and what's happening today. #LAskeez has picked out a couple shows and we'll cut right to it. 

Since it's pleasant today, why not take a drive out to Santa Ana to the Observatory to see Weezer perform. From Green to Blue to Red Albums, these guys are touring off of their 9th studio album called "Everything will be Alright in the End". The show starts at 8pm and if you miss them tonight they will be back at the Observatory come March for a two-day festival that's going on over there.

Included to the left over here was the song/music video that broke them into the KROQ scene forever.

As mentioned yesterday---Moby will be performing tonight for his second out of three shows at the Masonic Lodge at the Hollywood Forever cemetery. If you're still debating on whether or not to go, you should consider today versus tomorrow as ticket prices will be off the chats to attend tomorrows gig.

  

Oh and lastly for tonight's shows---Ryan Adams will be at the Wiltern tonight and tomorrow. Stubhub has some affordable tickets  (under face value) of $25! So get on it if you're into this guy. Doors are at 7pm.  #LAskeez always enjoys heading over to Beer belly for some duck fries and chicken wings before or after the show. It's just the right thing to do when you head over to the Wiltern.

Tune-Yards // The Ataris // FMLYBND

Good morning #skeezies since our last post the city began to burn. Well one building did and in case you were worried #LAskeez is safe. In LA nothing is a coincidence which is why this incident is being investigated as a criminal arson case. Results soon to come.

What's going on? Where the shows? What's good? #LAskeez has you covered. For starters, Tune Yards will be performing tonight at the Wiltern. $27.50 is the price of admission and there are still tickets available. Come to think of it there's always tickets available, it just depends on how deep your pockets are willing stretch. Anyway the woman behind Tune Yards is a New England native and her band mate is from Oakland where she now lives as well. Who doesn't want to ghost ride the whip? Doors are at 7pm,  show starts at 8pm. 

The Ataris. Remember them? You might remember them as the emo band from way back when. Turns out they're still around and playing shows. Tonight they will stopping by the El Rey. This show is about $17 and if you want to reminisce on your high school days and heart breaks this is your show. There's two opening bands and this show starts at 8pm.

                                                                                                                     Top #LAskeez recommendation (with honors) of the day goes to...

The Echo, the venue always knows who to let on their stage. Tonight a band from Isla Vista (Santa Barbara) known as FMLYBND will be taking over the Echo. They consider themselves "electronic grunge" which seems about right. The show is only $12 and it includes an opening band. So essentially that's $6 per band. Not a bad deal. Show is at 8:30pm.

Misfits // Tame Impala // Reignwolf

#LAskeez would like to wish everyone a Happy Veterans Day. Yes, we are fully aware that it was yesterday but for the people that serve this country, they deserve a "thank you" everyday. #LAskeez took Veterans Day seriously and went to the Arclight to watch Fury which is a movie that takes you through an intense 24hrs of a new recruit. Don't worry that's all the spoilers #LAskeez is giving away. 

The show goes on like always and today is no exception. Alright #skeezies here it is---

The Misfits.

 They don't need much of an introduction. They ARE punk rock and have been since 1977. The Majestic Ventura Theatre will be presenting the Misfits. The show is all ages so children beware and enter at your own risk. Doors at are 7pm and the price of admission is $22. Opening up for them will be Winchester Rebels, Neblina, and Fuse. In other words expect Misfits to take the stage later into the evening. 

Now over at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Center, the cute boys from Australia (not local hipsters) that everyone seems to love known as Tame Impala will be performing at 7:30pm. Their psychedelic sounds will be filling the Shrine. Opening for them will be Delicate Steve. Face value for these ticket were $35 and resale is currently double. This is the most relaxed show of the evening so if you're not down for the get down, stick to this show. 

Tonight marks the 12th night of the Red Bull Sound Select "30 days in LA". On the 12th night Reignwolf will reign the intimate Mint venue with sounds that will delight you. Like all other Red Bull shows, the tickets were a bargain of $15. His guitar skills will most definitely leave everyone in attendance satisfied. No Red Bull necessary to get you through this show. 

::BONUS:: 

As a friendly reminder--as we mentioned Monday, First Aid Kit has made there way to LA from the OC and will be performing at the Wiltern tonight for $25. 

TV On The Radio // Billy Idol // Nas // Belanova

There's too many good shows going on tonight! #LAskeez typically tries to narrow our recommendations down to two-three shows but today #LAskeez is going to tell you about four! 

How you #skeezies are ready for it because here it goes---

FREE shows are always a fan favorite so let's start with that. Remember Billy Idol? Remember? How can we forget this 80s gem?! Well Billy Idol is still very capable of doing a few rebel yells and tonight he's going to perform for FREE over at Amoeba Records in Hollywood. You know the drill. Show up around 1-2pm and the performance will start around 6. Playing the waiting game is part of the FREE show nature but come one let's be honest, who doesn't want to see Billy Effen Idol!?!?

The rest of tonight's shows are kind of on the pricy side so let's continue on in the ascending price order. 

What can $32 get you? A ticket to see Belanova at the Sunset House of Blues. The Mexican Trio has been around for almost 15 years now so let's just say they have the performance thing down. Whether you understand Spanish or not, their catchy pop songs and energy will get you dancing and potentially get you to want to start on Rosetta Stone. 

TV On The Radio. Originally from Brooklyn, these guys will be playing at the Fonda Theatre tonight for $35.50 If you're a fan of their Indie Rock sounds and you can't make it out to see them tonight, don't worry. They will be playing again at the Mayan Theatre on Thursday for the same price and then out in Pioneer Town on Friday for $5 cheaper. Granted you do need to drive out to the desert and the money you spend on gas might not be worth the $5 cheaper ticket but it's your call.  It's always kind of fun to take a drive out somewhere during. 

Last show #LAskeez  recommends for the day is... NAS. From $40-75 a ticket you can be in attendance over at the Orpheum Theatre to see him in action. He doesn't perform often so tonight is your only shot at seeing him. His next show is next month at the Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin, Texas.

::BONUS ALERT::

Don't forget BANKS and Movement will be playing their second night at the Wiltern tonight! Last night's show was impressive and tonight should be just the same if not more. Sources tell us Movement was a better live. Maybe Banks should of considered opening up for them.

BANKS // Metronomy // Wildcat Wildcat

#LAskeez here ready to give you #skeezies today's top show recommendations. 

We will start with #LAskeez's artist favorites which is Banks. 

Banks is an Orange County girl who has caught the attention of many.

She is playing two shows at the Wiltern, the first show starting tonight! The Australian band Movement will be opening up for them both nights so for $27 this show is definitely a treat! If you can't make the show tonight definitely make it a point to make it out tomorrow!

The English band Metronomy, is also playing tonight at the Belasco Theatre. #LAskeez  was curious as to how the Belasco and the Mayan have been coming up on all these shows and it finally made sense. The newly renovated Regency Theatre isn't fully ready to host shows just yet which is why all these shows have been funneling over to the Belasco/Mayan Theatre (same owner, same bad venue). Nevertheless Metronomy is a good enough band that the #skeezies need to check out. What will this show cost you? $23 big ones.

WILDCAT WILDCAT! yeah these local boys are playing at the El Rey Theatre tonight for $20 a pop. Happy Tuesday! You have always have options.

Lana Del Rey // The New Pornographers // Culture Collide

Alas it's Friday! 

#LAskeez is here to give you today's top show recommendations in and around LA. 

Hope you #skeezies are ready because there's no shortage of shows. 

The hottest ticket tonight is Lana Del Rey. She's playing at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery tonight AND tomorrow. Both shows sold out literally within two minutes. Tickets sold at $65 and they're reselling for double to triple the original price so consider yourself lucky if you came up on a ticket. There's nothing more appropriate than watching a show at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery during October. It's spooky yet fun. 

The New Pornographers have finally made their way down to LA. They're going to be over at Wiltern and tickets are in the $25-35 range. They've already performed once today on KCRW Morning Becomes Eclectic so you can always go online and check out their live set. 

$65 for Lana Del Rey, $25-35 for New Pornographers, or $30 for a wristband to Culture Collide which gives you access to see bands from all over the world! #LAskeez is no economist but something tells us that Culture Collide is the better deal of the evening. The event started yesterday, so the wristband would include access for tonight's activities along with tomorrow's fun.

Look out for the giant Culture Collides balloons in Echo Park, that's where you #skeezies want to be.  

SBTRKT // The New Pornographers // The Horrors

Another day means more shows that #LAskeez needs to tell the #skeezies about!

Ever heard of SBTRKT? Well if you're a little curious as to how to you would even go about saying that, just say "sub-tract" and there you have it--you now know how to pronounce SBTRKT. Anyway this SBTRKT fellow's real name is Aaron Jerome and he's kinda awesome. He's from the UK and has remixed songs of Radiohead...need #LAskeez say anymore? Tonight at the Belasco Theatre in Downtown LA you can catch him there for $37.  





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

Literally right next door to the Belasco Theatre the Horrors who #LAskeez mentioned yesterday will be making their official LA performance at the Mayan Theatre. 





*****

                                                     
Up for a drive? Like to the desert?

You're in luck because the New Pornographers are going to be playing at Pappy & Harriet's which is in Pioneer Town tonight for $30. In case you're wondering where Pioneer Town is, it's past the Morongo Casino and right near Joshua Tree. This would be the perfect impromptu adventure. If you're not up for the drive, it's okay, they will be in LA on Friday at the Wiltern.

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. 

Karen O // Rise Against

It's not even 9am and #LAskeez along with #skeezies across LA are melting. 81 degrees and climbing. Yuck, can Fall please come and kick away this Summer like weather already?!

However, a heat wave doesn't stop shows so let's get to it. 

At Amoeba records in Hollywood, Karen O will be performing for FREE! That's right, #LAskeez would typically recommend lining up now for the performance right this second but this may result in a heat stroke. Bottom line, Karen O. Enough said. Have a date with the night. 

If you can't make in it to see Karen O and want to pay for a show like a sucker, head over at the Wiltern, Rise Against will be getting loud. #skeezies can probably still score some decently priced tickets if you act immediately.

The Dodgers blew past the Colorado Rockies last night. 

If the Dodgers aren't tired of winning they should be able to beat the Rockies (again) today at 5:40pm.

Kings Win Stanley Cup/ Neon Trees/ The Internet / Summer Nights

#LAskeez can officially say the Los Angeles Kings brought the Stanley Cup back to LA! 

It was an intense game 5 against the New York Rangers that went into double OT but Alec Martinez shot the winning goal! 

The parade will take place Monday June 16th. It will start from 5th street over to Chick Hearn.

 After the parade there will be a rally inside the Staples Center at 1:00pm. If you have tickets to the rally, the option to see the parade from inside the Staples Center is up to you. 

Alec Martinez shooting the winning goal

2014 Champions

There's some good shows going on tonight.

Neon trees will be playing at the Wiltern. 

Over at the Echoplex the Internet will be playing for Low End Theory.  

If you're looking for something free to do tonight head over to Chinatown Central Plaza for Kcrw's summer nights! 

It's from 5pm-12am. Enjoy live Dj sets, live bands, food trucks, and good vibes.
