Category: Happening in L.A.

This weekend, you can catch Cold Cave at The Bellwether, Lead Into Gold over at 2220 Arts + Archives, Nuovo Testamento and SRSQ at The Roxy and Teenage Goo Goo Muck over at The Offbeat. Plus, Razorcake celebrates 10 years of parties at Footsie’s, Décadanse is back at the Grand Star with French pop on vinyl all night, Black Orpheus screens at Vidiots and more shows, clubs and movie screenings are happening this Valentine’s Day weekend in L.A. I’ve also included a few recommendations for early next week, like Mariachi El Bronx at Amoeba and The Black Watch at The Barklay, so keep reading. 

This Friday, January 23, Underground and Synthwaves are back with a two-room party at Grand Star Jazz Club. I’ll be in the Synthwaves room, which is upstairs, playing darkwave and post-punk, think along the lines of Boy Harsher, Molchat Doma, French Police, etc.  Tickets are available now and you should snap yours up because it’s basically two clubs for one very reasonable cover price. Head over to Dice or Eventbrite to do just that. We’re playing until 2 a.m., so if you already going to Austra at the Roxy or Dan Deacon at Teragram, stop by after the show to hit the dance floor. 

Keep reading for my recommendations for the rest of this weekend and early next week. 

There are a lot of David Lynch happenings across Los Angeles this month, but the calendar for this weekend and early next week are particularly packed, given that Friday, January 16, marks the first anniversary of the beloved director’s death and Tuesday, January 20, would have been his 80th birthday. With that in mind, the first section of this week’s event recommendations is all David Lynch-related and includes everything I could find that still has tickets available. After that, you’ll find more movie screenings, concerts and club nights happening between Thursday, January 15 and Wednesday, January 21. Amongst them: Shannon Shaw live, Los Angeles Record Fair, a John Carpenter double feature and a Selena museum exhibition. Keep reading for the details.

This Friday, I’m back at Klub Nocturno for another full-venue takeover of Catch One. I’ll be in the new wave vs. darkwave room with a mix of your favorite throwbacks and new school bangers. This is Nocturno’s annual free night and, well, I hope you already RSVPed because tickets are sold out on Dice. Follow Klub Nocturno on Instagram for more info (and to catch me talking about one of my favorite albums).
