Mariachi El Bronx // Julian Casablancas & the Voidz // Mayer Hawthorne

Happy Hump Day to all the #skeezies! 

To celebrate getting through half of the work week #LAskeez has some shows to tell you about. 

Alright tonight at the El Rey, Mariachi El Bronx will be performing for $27 a ticket. If you've never heard of them don't let the name fool you. They're not Mexican nor are they from The Bronx. Just five guys from LA with names like Brad and Ken that play some music that sounds like a cross between ska/punk/rock/mariachi fused together which ends up meshing well. Which is why you need to check them out today. As a bonus, The Tijuana Panthers will be opening up!

Julian Casablancas & the Voidz will be performing what always seems to sound like an experimental set tonight at the Observatory. The admission for this garage band practice sound? $35 big ones. If you're lucky maybe he'll decide to sing one or two songs from The Strokes. 

If you haven't heard already. RedBull Sound Select is hosting 30 shows in 30 days all throughout the city. Tonight's show will include Mayer Hawthorne over at the Madame Tussauds in Hollywood. The guy can do it all---sing, rap, produce, play instruments, etc. That's probably why he was nominated for a grammy but now a days who isn't. He's djing tonight and the RSVP list is still open which means it's a FREE  event. Wax on Wax will perform as well. So if you're on a budget and still want to go out, this is your show. 

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!
