Next few nights

Mon, Nov 16 · Blue Note Los Angeles · Hollywood
  • Seated

The Don Brown Collective puts tone and rhythm section detail right out front. Blue Note is a close listen, players, voices, and not much cover for weak phrasing.

Weston EstateTomorrowIndieVocal
Mon, Nov 16 · The Roxy Theatre · West Hollywood
  • Standing room

Weston Estate is built around melodic alternative pop, indie, and R&B informed music. At The Roxy, the show gets a little gloss while staying close enough to judge.

Gary NumanTomorrowDanceIndie
Mon, Nov 16 · The Fonda Theatre · Hollywood
  • Theater-Scale Room

Gary Numan goes for sweat and impact over polish. This direct Monday set makes more sense if you want specificity over scale.

LAYATomorrowListeningVocal
Mon, Nov 16 · The Peppermint Club · West Hollywood
  • Larger Theater Or Hall

LAYA puts the voice up front, with melody and phrasing doing most of the work. The close Monday live set has enough musical detail to compare honestly with the larger bills.

NatanyaTomorrowIndie
Mon, Nov 16 · El Rey Theatre · Miracle Mile

CHVRCHESTomorrowDanceListeningIndie
Mon, Nov 16 · Troubadour · West Hollywood
  • Standing room

CHVRCHES is strongest when emotionally direct pop songwriting comes through clearly. The late Monday live set at Troubadour comes across better when the first song gives the night a clear shape.

very good mondaysTomorrowIndie
Mon, Nov 16 · Gold-Diggers · East Hollywood
  • General Live-Music Room

Very good mondays stays engaging when the music gives you a clean anchor. The Monday night turns into a quick visit rather than a whole night plan.

The Don Brown CollectiveNext few nightsJazz
Tue, Nov 17 · Blue Note Los Angeles · Hollywood
  • Seated

The Don Brown Collective is about players in real time, touch, timing, and interplay you can hear. Blue Note works well when you want to hear whether the voice or band has depth beyond the record.

Weston EstateNext few nightsIndieVocal
Tue, Nov 17 · The Roxy Theatre · West Hollywood
  • Standing room

DANNANext few nightsDanceGlobal
Tue, Nov 17 · The Fonda Theatre · Hollywood
  • Theater-Scale Room

Dirty HoneyNext few nightsIndie
Tue, Nov 17 · Gold-Diggers · East Hollywood
  • General Live-Music Room

Dirty Honey puts a bluesy, classic rock sound out front. Gold Diggers keeps the distance short between the band and the room.

Internet GirlNext few nightsDanceHip-hopIndie
Tue, Nov 17 · The Echo · Echo Park
  • Standing room

Internet Girl goes for sweat and impact over polish. The Echo is good for finding out whether the songs have legs in a real room.

Midnight ViceNext few nightsIndie
Tue, Nov 17 · Whisky a Go Go · West Hollywood
  • Larger Theater Or Hall

Midnight Vice lets the rough parts stay rough, which is part of the appeal. The Tuesday music is the kind of smaller show that can beat the obvious bigger room.

  • Starts 21:30
  • Venue page only
  • Intimate Listening Setup

  • Standing room

  • Large Club Room
