Title: I'm heading to LA and....
Post by: redsock on December 14, 2004, 06:44:00 pm
...it happens to be on the worst weekend of shows possible. Other than Handsome Boy Modeling School, which is a stretch IMHO, what can I do the nights and days of 1/6 - 1/10. Smackie, anyone?

Pretty Girls Make Graves at the El Rey on the 8th, otherwise, that's going to be a tough week.  Most bands are playing New Years Gigs and taking the next week off.
 
 Check out www.laweekly.com (http://www.laweekly.com) or www.ocweekly.com (http://www.ocweekly.com) for updates about "secret" shows on sunset.
 
 I'll get back you after I spend the holidays there if I hear of anything.

I will be in LA the following week (Jan 12 - 17).  Do you know where I can find info on hiphop/rap concerts going on during that time?
 
 Thanks

Yeah, that was the fallback show, but it is actually cancelled. It is pretty dead.

I just went to a few clubs when I was there last year. Can't remember the names of them though.
 
 Hope that helped.   :roll:

Jon Brion at Largo on 1/7  Largo (http://www.largo-la.com). Even if you don't like him you need to go to this club. The rest of their schedule should be updated soon.
 Knitting Factory (http://www.knittingfactory.com/calendar/calendar_page.cfm?date_diff=0&room=1200&location=935) seems to be like Black Cat w/ two stages. I have no idea who some of these bands are on those dates. Check 'em out.
  SoHo SB (http://www.sohosb.com/calen.html) Should update their calendar soon.
 Don't forget to visit: Amoeba (http://www.amoebamusic.com/html/modules.php?name=Amoeba_Home&op=404error) and Fingerprints (http://www.buymusichere.net/stores/fingerprints/) (both have in-stores at times)
 Record Stores (http://www.recordstorereview.com/cgi-bin/store)
 Also check Wiltern LG or HOB schedules.

Alright, headed out next week, any last minute suggestions or things I should know? The show schedule still blows unless there is something i'm missing. Anything else I "need" to see?

Ditto. Probably not somebody you're going to get to see around here anytime soon.
