Tonight legendary Albany-based punk rock outfit Rancid will be co-headlining the Forum with Rise Against. Local actress/singer Mandy Moore is poised to grace Largo at the Coronet. And, lastly, Florida-based pop rockers Copeland will be performing at the Hotel Café with none other than Sherwood and the Union Line. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Troubadour to catch Chicago-based jazz-infused post-rockers Tortoise.

The Wooster Group returns to REDCAT tonight with La Didone, a daring production of Francesco Cavalli's 1641 Baroque opera mashed up with elements of Italian director Mario Bava's 1965 sci-fi cult film Terrore nello spazio (Planet of the Vampires). This West Coast premiere of La Didone runs through June Tonight’s performance begins at 8:30 pm, and tickets are $40-55, with student discounts available.

Tonight Florida-bred singer-songwriter/actress Mandy Moore will be gracing Amoeba Records with an in-store performance. Cambridge-based pop rock outfit Chester French (LAist Interview) are poised to share the stage at the El Rey Theatre with Lady Sovereign. And, lastly, Toronto's own alternative country act the Sadies will be making their triumphant return to Spaceland. But we strongly suggest heading over the Echo to catch Long Beach-based indie quartet Avi Buffalo (LAist Interview), who will be concluding their month-long residency. LAist favorites Divisadero are slated to kick things off.

On April 10, Mandy Moore turned 25. With a new album, a tour, volunteer work, and upcoming film projects, she really knows how to keep busy. If you want to try to keep up with Mandy, you can follow her on Twitter, check out her blog, and see her play at Largo. LAist talked to Mandy last month as she was putting the finishing touches in her new album Amanda Leigh. She was home recovering from having wisdom teeth removed, gushed on and on about her collaborator Mike Viola, and didn't let on even a hint that she and Ryan Adams were about to tie the knot. We asked Mandy about her new album Amanda Leigh, her long list of collaborators, and what she has planned for her show at Largo on April 25.

After a childhood in Boston and living most of his adult life in NY, Mike Viola has arrived...in LA. We met Mike at a screening of "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" and had the opportunity not only to watch the film but hear about how Mike and the team of songwriters created a catalog of songs for a fictional music star.

Tonight Australian musician/actor Ben Lee will be performing at Largo at the Coronet with musician/actress Mandy Moore. Seattle-based garage rockers Murder City Devils are poised to play to a sold-out crowd at the Henry Fonda Music Box with Brother Reade (LAist Interview, Review) in tow. And, lastly, San Franciscan singer-songwriter Miranda Lee Richards will be headlining Spaceland. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Troubadour to catch Argentine singer-songwriter Juana Molina.

Summer has passed and acts such as Suzanne Vega, Tegan and Sara, M.I.A., Spoon, and Rilo Kiley have reclaimed the spotlight after significant hiatuses, but the year is far from over. It’s now time to look forward to albums on the horizon that look like winners already:

To those glorious fools who had hoped against hope that The Island might mark the beginning of the end for Michael Bay's filmmaking career, I am loathe to tell you that such wishes now appear to be in vain. Transformers left the North American box office in a twisted wreckage of smoking metal this week, taking in a (groan) record-setting 152.5 million dollars in its opening 7 days. With regard to Mr. Bay, it seems that The Island was but the end of the beginning. He is now free and able to issue forth Transformers sequels well into the next decade. It is a dark time for the Rebellion.

A Word or 56: Thankfully I was doing my radio show last night and was spared the State of the Union, and therefore, a really bad hangover. It was (somewhat) reassuring to see some livid polarized response but half the time I feel like these guys are going through the motions. Two ways to disgust yourself tonight are: Crawlspace on IFC and Primetime: Medical Mysteries, enjoy. Tonight - Wednesday - January 24th, 2007 Crawlspace...

So we noticed something when catching a few minutes of Chasing Liberty on HBO last weekend. (Btw, LAist was just channel surfing and not actively watching the forgettable Mandy Moore flick – but we so happened to catch a glimpse of dreamy Matthew Goode from Match Point in it.) But back to the purpose of this post.
