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.

Tokimonsta // Sam Smith // Jingle Ball

Alright #skeezies this may be a later posting but there's still time to potentially go catch a show. 

#LAskeez has two events to tell you all about:

First up Tokimonsta. We've mentioned her before, she's the Korean American woman who graduated from UC Irvine and tonight she's going to perform at the Observatory in Santa Ana. Luckily for the #skeezies, there's still last minute tickets available on ticketweb.com  for $25.  This is a later show because hey it's Friday and well, why not? It's Friday night! Get out there and have some fun. Doors are at 10:30pm and there's two opening acts so make sure you get your caffeine fix before you head over. 

The Lakers are away tonight playing in Boston, which means that the Staples Center is available for something different---Tonight KISS FM is taking over the Staples Center with their annual Jingle Ball event. Which includes an #LAskeez favorite---Sam Smith. Yes, Sam Smith will be at Jingle Ball for a 30 min set. It has been quite a treat to see this young man's career take off in the past year. Attendees will surely be serenaded with smooth vocals. Tickets range from $40-500! The show starts at 8pm so don't be late if you plan to also watch Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and all of the other ultra popular acts. 

Young Jeezy // Chris Isaak

One of the biggest storms LA has seen in a while is going on right this moment. The whole state of California is engulfed by this cloud of rain and we need it more than ever. Here in LA, everyone is excited to finally dust off and put on their fashionable (because everyone in LA thinks they're fashionable) rain coats, boots, and umbrellas. The rainfall may keep people away from going out and about but not #LAskeez so let us tell you about the shows you #skeezies can check out tonight. 

All the way from the South, Young Jeezy himself will be stopping by Santa Ana to perform over at the Observatory. He's been grammy nominated not once not twice but FOUR times and he's a former member of Boyz n Da Hood. If those aren't reasons to go see this guy then idk what is. That's not to mention his hit songs. Doors are at 8pm, and tickets are still available via stubhub for $33+.

What we're about to tell you about next is completely different from Young Jeezy and an act your older sister or mom can tell you about. That's Chris Isaak. He may have not aged gracefully but that's probably due to all those 'wicked games' he would sing about.  He's going to be over in San Juan Capistrano at The Coach House. This show is a little pricy  $125+ so we're assuming that he's probably going to personally look into your eyes and sing directly at you. Show is at 8pm. 

Fleetwood Mac // Hot Chip // Chet Faker

#LAskeez hopes all the #skeezies out there kept it safe and didn't get into too any scuffles while looking for those bargains during Black Friday. Now that it has come and gone it's now time to get back to the shows and trust us, there's some good ones. 

Fleetwood Mac will be performing at the Forum in Inglewood tonight for their second night here in LA! If you can't catch them tonight they will be back at the Forum Dec 6th. So there's plenty of opportunities to catch them. Especially if you're willing to go down to San Diego or Anaheim to see them before they return to the Forum. Considering all the tour dates, So Cal clearly is Pro-Fleetwood Mac. Tickets range anywhere between $60-690+. Show starts at 8pm so make sure to get their on time. 

Over in Hollywood at the Avalon, Hot Chip will be ready for the dance floor tonight with a DJ set. Looks like the set time for this gig is at 10pm. Tickets are around $25+. After tonights show they take off to Mexico, come back to states for a New York show and then back home to the UK they go. 

Today's exclusive event is hosted by Red Bull Sound Select. Tonight marks the 29th night of "30 days in LA". Over at Mack Sennett Studios (which happens to be one of the oldest studios in LA) Chet Faker who is an #LAskeez favorite will be performing to a very intimate crowd. Like all the other Red Bull events the tickets to this show were only $15.   There's limited parking near the studio so Red Bull has set up a shuttle system. If you park in Lot F over at the Children's Hospital Los Angeles the shuttle will pick you up and drop you back off. 

Black Cadillacs // Isaac Brothers & the Phantoms // Wunder Wunder,

#LAskeez would like to personally wish all the #skeezies a very Happy Thanksgiving. 

Today is the day to over indulge and go into a food coma because that's the American thing to do. 

If you're on the road traveling to your family, have safe travels and don't pick up any hitchhikers because that's just weird. 

There are very slim pickings for shows tonight. As a matter of fact the only event we can recommend is Night 27 of the "30 Days in LA". Red Bull Sound Select will be presenting a night of bowling or as they call it "Rock and Bowl Turkey Shootout". This event is FREE with rsvp of course. Rsvp does not guarantee admission and works on a first come first serve bases. Live music/dj sets will be by the Black Cadillacs, Isaac Brothers & the Phantoms, Wunder Wunder, and Hands. If you show up dressed as any of the Big Lebowski characters then you can potentially win the raffle that enters you to win Coachella 2015 tickets! That's a deal.  

Enjoy your Thanksgiving and safe travels! 

Warm Brew

It's the eve of Thanksgiving and this is around the time were #skeezies realize that they need to go to the market to buy last minute food. Or maybe not. Bottom line,  "Holiday mode" is officially in full force. Some people are already camping in front of their favorite stores waiting to tackle who ever is in their way of a good deal. Will #LAskeez be in anyones way? Nope, not this year not ever. We're about that online shopping life. It's more convenient but then again everyone has their preferences. 

Perhaps the Holidays have most artists at home with their families which is why there aren't too many shows for #LAskeez to recommend today but here's what is going on tonight: 

Night 26 of Red Bull's Sound Select "30 Days in LA" presents--- Warm Brew. They're a couple of guys from LA that are bringing you some hip hop. Red Bull Studios (in Santa Monica) will be hosting a full on barbecue accompanied by the sounds of Warm Brew. Price of admission? FREE! with rsvp of course. Rsvp does not guarantee admission so get there early for your FREE bbq and music. There's no better way to kick off your Thanksgiving than this event. 

For all you OC #skeezies out there, Justin Timberlake will be over in your hood at the Honda Center tonight!  

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.
