Seven Grand is kicking things off early for St. Patrick's Day with East L.A. band Ollin performing at the beloved downtown whiskey bar tonight at 9pm (see a video of them below). Ollin is known as "The Mexican Pogues" for their fiesta-festive take on the English/Irish band's songs. Think Irish Mariachi music.

Did We Mention that Gogol Bordello is Playing Tonight?
Rarely do we at LAist hype the opening act of a show twice in the same hour, but Gogol Bordello deserves the love. If The Pogues, The Clash, and Borat were molested by a traveling pack of female Gypsies on the outskirts of Turkey and produced soccer-jersey wearing rockers, you'd have this band who was one of the highlights of last year's SXSW festival. They are loud, funny, fun, raucous, and their energy is...
