Secret shows are as prevalent in LA as burger joints and taco trucks. But unlike those gourmet dining choices, if you aren't on The List for the show, or have a rare ticket, you don't get in.
Perhaps you've heard chatter of a secret show starring the Red Hot Chili Peppers for an upcoming official Zune launch party.
Zune is Microsoft's latest iPod competitor, and yes, Los Angeles, the Red Hots are going to play their bash next week.
Only on LAist will you have a chance to win a pair of tickets before the show is even announced to the general public. We are giving away 10 pairs of tickets for the upcoming RHCP / Zune launch event which will be held at a very intimate location (only a couple hundred sweaty freaks, instead of tens of thousands).
To enter, type in your 5 favorite new cds of 2006 into the comments section, and make sure to leave an accurate email address. Deadline is Thursday at noon. Then check back here on Friday morning to find out the ticket pick-up location as well the date/time of the party.
The venue is 21 and over, sorry Olsen Twins.
