Tonight in L.A. (October 20, 2012)

Its not just any Saturday night in Los Angeles this week.  While there are stars on the regular, there aren't always international stars with music videos that have garnered over a HALF BILLION views.  If you've been living under a proverbial rock for most of 2012 or you are over the age of 70 - you may not have heard Gangnam Style - otherwise you probably are familiar with the PSY phenomenon.  No joke - my three year old nephew and year old niece are even hip to it.  



So - if you want to indulge in the hype - he is playing at House of Blues - Sunset Strip along with Brit star vocalist Ellie Goulding and Jay-Z's latest protege - Rita Ora.  A solid line-up for fans of pop stars and their music.  



For those with more eclectic tastes - I recommend the Peaches DJ Extravaganza at Fonda Theatre with support from Big Freedia.  The artists are gaymous, the dance floor will be raging and you'll be encouraged to, amongst other things, get ass everywhere and fuck the pain away.  Sounds sexual, aggressive and fun.  





You'd be hard pressed to find a way to describe Crystal Castles as tame (they are not), but it will be less craybans at their show at Hollywood Palladium with Health and Kontravoid than it will be up the block at Fonda.   

Outside of the various Hollyhoods - I'd advise heading west (or west and north).  Over at The Getty Center, Cold Cave turns in one of the late season Saturdays Off the 405 performances.  In Santa Monica, The Central SAPC hosts its monthly Silent Frisco with a blend of NIN and Skrillex tonight.  Pepperdine University brings Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue to their Malibu campus for some high quality New Orleans jazz and funk.  All the way up in Santa Barbara - Snow Patrol and Lissie rock the Santa Barbara Bowl.



As usual - a full list of tonight's L.A. shows are below.

Crystal Castles, HEALTH, Kontravoid @ Hollywood Palladium

The Dan Band @ Club Nokia

The Fab Faux @ Orpheum Theater
