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! 

Cher at the Staples Center

The 3 day holiday weekend is over but all Cher fans rejoice because today is the day you have been counting down to. Yes! It's the "Dress to Kill Tour" Cher concert over at the STAPLES Center. And as the tour name suggests, the concert goers will definitely show up dressed to kill. Glitter, sparkles, to rhinestones galore. Dress up or go home.  

Cher doesn't need an opener but to get the party start Cyndi Lauper will be opening. 

Cher. 

Cyndi Lauper. 

Get it! 

And who knows, maybe Chad Michaels will show up. 

Fourth of July/ Young & Sick Recap

What a weekend! #LAskeez hopes all #skeezies had a wonderful Fourth of July Weekend! There were a ton of great firework shows. From the Hollywood Bowl, Dodger Stadium, Grand Park in Downtown Los Angeles, to people that got a hold of some illegal fireworks, everyone was celebrating and being very patriotic. #LAskeez had the opportunity to have a great view of the entire city and it really was quite a sight to see. 

American Flag Sugar Cookies

 Better late than never but it's time to give #LAskeez's review on the Young & Sick show which was last Wednesday night. Nick might be considered an attractive frontman by most, however his "sexiness" seemed to be a little too forced or maybe too 1990's cliche "hunk." Although "hunk" is not a word #LAskeez would typically use, it does seem fitting to describe this frontman. His tortured artist attitude and perfectly tousled hair left me scratching my head a little. I wasn't sure whether to swoon or to laugh a little. 

Young & Sick @The Echo 7/2/14

You have to love a classic marquee

Young & Sick @ the Echo

Sadly Team USA couldn't move passed Belgium during yesterdays soccer match but they played with great intensity and heart. The odds had certainly been against them from their first match but yet they managed to get as far as they did. Good job Team USA, America recognizes your hard work and effort. 

Enough with the boohoo we didn't win nonsense let's talk about a great show that is going on tonight at the Echo! Young & Sick will be performing and it should be a great one. #LAskeez will be in attendance checking them out for the first time since Coachella. 

Allow me to reintroduce Young & Sick...

They are LA based and they're all about the arts and music. So naturally we should expect the merch and visuals to be stimulating.

And if you want to say you really know about the band you can tell other #skeezies about the art work designs they have done for Maroon 5, Foster the People, and even Robin Thicke.

See you there #skeezies !

USA vs Belgium/ Dodgers #1 in the NL West

Hello #skeezies set your alarm clocks to 1pm today for the USA versus Belgium World Cup game! Team USA has been able to hang on strong thus far. With a little bit of believing they can beat Belgium and go on to the next round. The longer Team USA can compete in the World Cup the more soccer fans they gain. And the soccer base can certainly use more of those. 

 

#LAskeez  is happy to announce the great news for all the Dodger Fans out there...look at the standings and you will notice that at the very top of the number one position the Boys in Blue have taken over. That's right the Dodgers are back and are number one in the NL West! They play the Cleveland Indians again tonight at 7:10pm. 

It's solely a sports day today. Tomorrow #LAskeez will give the 411 on the Young & Sick show. 

Stay tuned! 

GO USA & DODGER BLUE! 

Robyn + Royksopp "Do it Again" / Fink

#LAskeez went on a brief hiatus over the weekend to Palm Springs but did make it back on time over to the Hollywood Bowl to see Robyn & Röyksopp! The picnic baskets were out in full swing before the show took place. The second the show began the glow sticks and neon lights were raised in the air and if you were sitting down you weren't participating in the dance partaaaay. If you didn't want to dance, why bother showing up? This was the second time Robyn + Royksopp perform at the Bowl together and each time they get better and better. Don't be surprised if they're on the bill again next summer and "do it again".

Tonight over at the Bardot Hollywood, Fink will be performing a FREE show. 

It may not be as fun (lacking glow sticks) as the Robyn bowl show last night but hey it's FREE and in LA you have to the opportunity to catch great acts for next to nothing, if you're on top of it that is. As long as the #skeezies keep reading, you all will definitely be in the know. 

How about them Los Angeles Dodgers? They play tonight against the Cleveland Indians at 7:10pm and if the calculations are correct, a win tonight will move them up to the number one spot in their division! GO BLUE! 

Sunset Strip Festival 2014

Since Sunset Junction is a thing of the past we only have The Sunset Strip Music Festival to talk about and lucky for you #skeezies the line-up was announced yesterday!

 From the looks of it, the festival is going to offer a little of everything for everyone. 

Jane's Addiction to Big Freedia that's a huge difference but #LAskeez likes it and can appreciate the bold move. 

Mark your calendars for the two day street festival on September 20 & 21.

This is just a taste of what you can expect

If you enjoyed those music videos, then you need to be at SSMF! 

Can't wait until September to go to a show? 

Well tomorrow evening over at the Fox Performing Arts Center,  Jill Scott will be bringing from the soul realness onto the stage. 

 

"Hater don't hate" on Jill Scott!
