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.  

                            

Tegan & Sara // Ms. Lauryn Hill // Culture Club

Happy Hump Day #skeezies! 

#LAskeez has today's top three concert recommendations for you all. The fan favorites are always the FREE shows so we will start with that. 

Tegan and Sara. These identical twin sisters have some of the most loyal fans around. Today they will be performing at the OC Fair and Event Center in Costa Mesa for FREE. Doors open at 7pm. The first 100 fans will be treated to complimentary valet and if you drive a Lexus, you get some sort of upgrade hook up. This is a 21+ only event and RSVPing is required. If you felt bad about missing their show yesterday at the Hollywood Palladium, today will more than make up for that. 

Another OC event going on is Lauryn Hill at the Observatory.  Forget about her past antics of showing up late to her own shows, she should be on time tonight. For about $60+ a ticket she better. Lauryn Hill tonight almost sounds too good to be true. 

Bringing it back to LA! The Culture Club should of been performing tonight at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Center. Unfortunately, the reunion was cancelled two days ago due to Boy George's medical condition. Hopefully he recovers soon! And hopefully you #skeezies got your money back! 

The Psychedelic Furs // The Presets // Chance the Rapper

It's finally starting to feel like fall around here but let's see how long that lasts. 

Anyway like always there's some good shows going on for the #skeezies to enjoy and lucky for you #LAskeez is here to tell you all about it. 

For starters,  flashback to the 80s and you have the Psychedelic Furs. The show is taking place at the Fonda and tickets are still available through AXS for $45 each. Opening up for them will be the LemonHeads. Show starts at 8pm so expect the 'heartbreak beat' Psychedelic Furs to go on around 10pm. It's not everyday that these guys come out and perform so take advantage of it! Although there's always the possibility that they could play for an 80s night somewhere in LA.

Back to modern days and you have the Australian duo known as The Presets. They're currently on their "Check Yo Ponytail tour" and will be making a pitstop at the new Regent Theater. Like the Echo and The Satellite, The Regent likes to have their main acts perform very late into the evening but in LA that's how you keep the party going. The Presets will go on at 11:45pm so be patient. Tickets are still available through TicketFly for $28. FIY there's a low ticket warning so hurry it up. 

On the 15th night of the '30 days in LA', Red Bull Sound Select presents--- Chance the Rapper. The Chi-town rapper will be at the House of Blues LA. Tickets were $15 but are now demanding a minimum of $72 on stubhub. That's just how it is. Greedy folks always making it hard for the fans to a enjoy what  they love. 

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. 

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. 

Judas Priest // First Aid Kit // A Night at Sonos Studio

Monday is back but never fear #skeezies there's still plenty of shows for #LAskeez to talk about. 

If you're still on a high from yesterday's Bad Religion's show---The Judas Priest and Steel Panther show over at the Nokia Theatre, might be right up your alley. Unfortunately, this isn't a Redbull Sound Select show which means the tickets to see Judas Priests are hailing normal ticket prices like in the $40-100 range. 

Jumping over to the Santa Ana Observatory, the Swedish girls known as First Aid Kit are back in town. Tickets are $25. If you can wait until Wednesday you don't have to make the drive down to the OC and can catch them at the Wiltern for the same $25 price.  

Tonight marks the 10th night of the Red Bull Sound Select. What's going on? #LAskeez isn't too sure, but the event is called "A night at Sonos Studio". Any event held at Sonos Studio is memorable and magical and it's a little bigger than your living room so it's really intimate. For $0, yeah which also translates to FREE why wouldn't you want to check this event out. 

Bad Religion

Okay #skeezies---tonight marks the 9th night of the "30 days in LA" hosted by  Red Bull Sound Select. What better band to see on a Sunday evening than Bad Religion aaand they're playing at the Mayan. If you haven't been to the Mayan it's not that big and it's a venue were you would totally want to see Bad Religion perform. The price of admission is only $15! But of course all those $15 tickets sold out in a heart beat. The only way to get in is to purchase them from some greedy non-fan for an obscene amount of money. Typically #LAskeez has more show options but Bad Religion is the only highlight of the day. Enjoy and tune in tomorrow!
