This is an updated post. Originally, I said that I wasn’t DJing this week. As it turns out, I’ll be at The Mermaid on Tuesday night for Dolce Vita, so scroll down for the details. Otherwise, here’s what’s on my list of L.A. music events for the next week. The list might be updated later if I find out about some more events happening during the week. 

One note about these event lists is that I try to make sure that they’re more-or-less affordable, so I’ve been using $30 as the cap on ticket prices and always try to include some free events. Three on this list have no cover.

September 29

All Time Stop Now @ Redcat 

All Time Stop Now is the latest experimental opera from Anna Luisa Petrisko, who brings together electronic music, dance, video and projection mapping to tell a story about time and friendship. I got to see a dress rehearsal of All Time Stop Now while working on my story about Petrisko and the show for Southern California News Group and it’s beautiful. You’ll have two chances to catch the performance this weekend, on Friday, September 29 and Saturday, September 30, at Redcat. Both shows are at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 and there are student discounts available. 

Redcat, 631 W. 2nd Street, DTLA 90012; 8:30 p.m.; $25; all ages

Lara Sarkissian, Philip Meyer, Pablo Perez @ 2220 Arts + Archives

Lara Sarkissian will be performing her live set in Los Angeles for the first time on Friday, September 29 at Arts + Archive and the performance will include new music as well as some of her own video footage.  Sarkissian is a very interesting artist who often incorporates nods to Armenia and Armenian culture in her experimental electronic music. (She’s one of the artists that I interviewed for my KCET story on the revival of vintage Armenian music.) Note that this is a fairly early show, it goes from 8 p.m. until 11 p.m.  Tickets are $18 and available via Dice.
