Yeah, we also wondered if May 14 was some sort of secret prank-making day, because, hey, didn't Coachella 2012, like, just happen? But it's true: Coachella 2013 will happen over two weekends next spring, and advance tickets go on sale Thursday, May 17. more ›

We are definitely not trying to break your heart (unless you don't get tickets): KCRW has just announced that Wilco will close out the summer season at the Hollywood Bowl with a special "encore concert" in the station's popular World Festival series on September 30. more ›

It's been a brief period of uncertainty and quiet over at the Music Box, after an abrupt shut-down in January that found the current operators evicted. Now comes word that the venue is born again as The Fonda Theatre, and Goldenvoice will be its exclusive promoter and operator. more ›

If Coachella and Burning Man had a bass addicted, illegitimate love child that creation would be the Do LaB's Lightning in a Bottle. Taking place a short 40 minutes from L.A. in the remarkably desolate Oak Canyon Ranch, the festival is a mix of art, culture and music. more ›

Everyone has a friend named Andrew. No really, check your Facebook. But certain individuals have a real good friend named Andrew. A role model, hero and spokesman for all things loud. Naturally I am referring to Andrew W.K., the front man turned game show host turned motivational speaker who has over the course of the past decade provided the soundtrack for your angst ridden party days. more ›

A "notice to vacate" has been posted on the door of the Music Box theatre at the Henry Fonda, signaling that the end is near for the current occupants (if there was any trace of them left). more ›

Kids, are you ready to sweat and sway out in the desert for three days in April to the sounds of some of the world's biggest and best bands? After weeks of speculation, the time has come: Coachella has announced their 2012 lineup. more ›

It seems this might be one of those tales of mysterious things that happen in the night: The Music Box theatre at The Henry Fonda appears to have cleared out and shut down out of nowhere. more ›

It's rare you get the chance to see a live performance of a popular band in a very intimate setting, so when Death Cab for Cutie came through L.A. to do such a show for KCRW, the invite was impossible to turn down. more ›

After making the small clubs of Los Angeles their personal playground to trumpet and hype the release of their newest studio (garage, rather, as it was recorded in Dave Grohl's Encino garage) release, Wasting Light, the Foo Fighters recently made their arena return to the Forum for their first full blown show in over three years. more ›

For residents of North Hollywood and adjacent communities, going to a decent weekly farmers market means a Tuesday evening schlep to Sherman Oaks to the Woodman Avenue Farmers' Market, or joining the fray at the popular Sunday Studio City Farmers' Market. Starting Saturday, October 1st, though, the NoHo Arts District is getting their own weekly farmers' market. more ›

It was rock for the cause of rock on Wednesday night when the Red Hot Chili Peppers played a show at Club Nokia at L.A. Live and raised $1 million for the Silverlake Conservatory of Music. more ›

The Hudson has one of the most perfect locations and set-ups for a fun and delicious weekend brunch. On a sunny day, with their windows wide open in the railcar-esque restaurant perched at a diagonal where Crescent Heights meets Santa Monica Boulevard, the boisterous ambiance is only bested by the delicious brunch entrees and cocktails. more ›

It’s no easy feat to get an L.A. crowd to sing along and dance with an indie, folksy singer-songwriter. Unless you’re Thomas Dybdahl. The Norwegian singer performed at The Satellite in Los Angeles on Saturday night, for the last stop on his North American tour. more ›

With Friday and Saturday nights at the Bowl the dominant turf of the cinema, standard, and pops stylings of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, it seemed last night, as paired with venerable rock-pop songstress Sarah McLachlan, the crowd was appreciative of the stellar performance, if not exactly the typical McLachlan fans. more ›

My Morning Jacket had just put the finishing touches on a spectacular show at the Greek Theatre August 12, when our small group chatted about the virtues of rock and roll. See, my friend (you might know her) is somewhat of a rock maven and an MMJ devotee, a true patron of saint Jim James who would beat down a path to their show any day of the week. Your reviewer, while quite fond of the Kentucky five piece, tends to count other bands in his rarified air, including the inimitable Wilco. more ›

Harry Connick Jr. could very well be the next big thing in stand-up comedy. Playing to a packed house with members of his Big Band and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the N'awlins crooner invited the audience into his musical world--first on a sentimental journey through a songbook of cherished standards, then on a rousing trip to the Big Easy. Beyond the music, however, Connick managed to send the crowd into stitches with his meandering narrative and humorous remarks. more ›
