Interpol are coming. In fact, they have already infiltrated Los Angeles with our very own short-term Interpol Space. This gallery/merchandising space, one of only three in the world, opened (at least to LAist's eye) in conjunction with the impending release of the band's new album, Antics, out next week. "The rooms act as neither a museum of the band's career-to-date, nor merely a place for the selling of merchandise, but rather as a space...

Music and film are two events that this town does better than most, and tonight is full of them. The early '90s are back to visit tonight in the form of both types of media, so get out there and relive some memories or better yet, make some new ones. It's a blast from the past at The Roxy, as Jordan Knight—yes, that Jordan Knight—takes the stage, preceeded by J-Me, Tina Landon and Nick...

Starting at 5:00 PM today, Godiva Chocolatier will open bidding on Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?, a series of five special dinners in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, San Francisco and Boston. The winners of these dinners will be treated to dinner with a celebrity, cooked by a celebrity chef, with proceeds from the events donated to a different charity in each city. Further, each chef has agreed to prepare a menu focused on...

It never ceases to amaze LAist that no matter how much goes on in this city, more things pop up every day. We hope that you're all taking advantage of the opportunities presented by living in such a vast and interesting city, such as those featured below. Tonight at Book Soup on Sunset, Susanna Clarke will present and sign her much-talked-about debut novel, Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. "Ten years in the writing, her...

It's going to be a busy night in Los Angeles—the weather has cooled off and fall is creeping in, so LAist recommends going out and partaking of all the fine entertainments the city has to offer before everyone gives up on their sunny summer dispositions. Tonight at The Echo, LA's own (increasingly popular) Rilo Kiley will play a final date in town before hitting the road on their fall tour. Doors open at 8:00...

It's a musical night here in the city as we all attempt to recover from what LAist hopes was a great weekend. Pick one and run with it! Tonight in the Knitting Factory Main room, Anti-, KCRW and Filter Magazine present an exclusive pre-release listening party for Tom Waits' Real Gone at 7:00 PM. The listening party will be followed by a screening of Big Time; admission is free and the first 25 guest...

Los Angeles is once again busy trying to scrub away our colorful and interesting heritage. The Belmont Tunnel, formerly used to hustle rail traffic into and out of downtown, is in danger of being restricted from public use. The issue is rancorous because since its abandonment, the Tunnel has become a sort of wasteland, inhabited mostly by the unseemly characters that police pin all sorts of nastiness on: the homeless and taggers. Belmont Tunnel...

Tonight, the 7th Annual Art Crawl kicks off across the eastside landscape of Silverlake, Los Feliz and Echo Park. The free, self-guided event runs from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM.

The Crawl continues throughout the weekend, running from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday. At 7:00 PM, head for Pasadena and Norton Simon Museum to...
