Alt-rockers TRAPT are going full-band acoustic in West Hollywood with a loaded lineup: Sketch Sanders, This Fire Burns, Yama, Reliquae, Ice Lemonade and the Apple Snaps, and No Party. Lock in a $25 ticket to rage with the best of ‘em.
😻 Two Cats On A Date
Tomorrow, November 6 (7:30PM) & Sunday, November 9 (9:30PM) at The Elysian Theater
Tragically weird and unnecessarily sexual, Two Cats On A Date is a high-energy solo show where one woman plays two cats whose romantic dinner kaleidoscopes into a world of inter-generational regret. You can still win tickets for either show!*
💀 Bass Drum of Death
Tomorrow, November 6 at The Roxy Theatre (8PM)
Mississippi garage rock bruisers Bass Drum of Death are bringing their fuzzed-out, full-throttle energy to The Sunset Strip. With Gus Baldwin & The Sketch opening, trust it’s gonna get loud. And tickets are only like $30!
👎 BADBADNOTGOOD
Friday, November 7 at the Hollywood Palladium (7PM)
BADBADNOTGOOD bring their shapeshifting jazz-soul-hip-hop fusion to Hollywood. Baby Rose opens with that voice that hits like velvet heartbreak. It would be very bad bad not good if you skip this one.
🎤 Leif Vollebekk
Sunday, November 9 at The Bellwether (7PM)
Canadian singer-songwriter Leif Vollebekk’s new album Revelation is full of ghostly beauty and quiet gut-punches. Catch his signature mix of piano and poetry live in DTLA and let your soul stretch out. It’s not too late to win tickets!*
