Los Angeles Tonight (Monday, April 29th)

Booo hooo, the Lakers lost. Get over it by seeing some live music tonight.

For an energetic Monday, Pitchfork's favorite Canadians, Metz, bring their hard-hitting sound to the Troubadour with support from White Lung and Mrs Magician.





KCRW'S It's a School Night is bringing the beats proper this evening with Big Black Delta's record release party going down at Bardot. Shy Girls, Emma Ejwertz and The Last Internationale fill out the bill.





Tonight is Gavin Turek's last night of her April residency at The Bootleg Theatre. Helping Gavin close out the month are Zak Waters, Fellow Bohemian and a special guest is substituting in place of Boom D, who is stuck in NOLA.





Don't forget to head on out to the West side this coming weekend and join us at the Cinco de Mayo bash "El Dia De La Heady." Lagunitas and Sailor Jerry are providing libations, The Record Company, The Dustbowl Revival, Ivory Deville, The Dead Ships, The Diamond Light and Highway Poets are providing the tunes, and, most importantly, Jam in the Van is providing the headiness. Hope to see you all out there.

Kick off your month (and Super Bowl weekend) on the right foot with a variety of musical options in Los Angeles.  

Personal favorites - Karl Denson's Tiny Universe are set to funk things up at El Rey Theatre with support from Howlin' Rain while other skilled instrumentalists, The Wood Brothers, provide a more laid back set of sounds at Largo.  





For more aggressive rock consider Hell Ride featuring Mike Watt, Peter Distefano, Stephen Perkins and more at The Central SAPC.  For the jams - ALO and The California Honeydrops at Troubadour would definitely be a stellar choice.



Rising star Father John Misty performs at SoHo House while a buzzband of yesteryear, The Happy Hollows, try to fill up The Satellite.  For eclectic, cool and a good crowd - The Natural History Museum hosts electrifying performer Gaslamp Killer and his bobbing headnod and The Echo brings in Geographer.
