It appears that tonight will be a quiet night in town as everyone gears up for the Labor Day Weekend festivities. LAist will definitely be lounging and enjoying the extra day off and hopes that you all will, too. Uphill at the Universal Amphitheatre, enjoy some Latin fusion as Kinky performs with Ozomatli and Plastilina Mosh. The show starts at 8:15 PM; tickets range from $19.50–$40.00....

[Ed. note: New show added below!] Since most of us are all celebrating the passage of Labor Day by doing absolutely no labor, LAist thought it might behoove the readership to be aware of this weekend's events. That way, everyone can be properly hungover Monday morning and enjoy Labor Day the way it was meant to be enjoyed—flat on your back nursing a little hair of the dog. Saturday At the Troubadour, KCRW welcomes...

It's a good night to be a music fan here in Los Angeles, as tonight's entertainment will illustrate. Keep scrolling for the best that rock 'n' roll has to offer. At the Troubadour, indie rock legends Sebadoh will be performing with Imaad Wasif (of Alaska!) and Refrigerator. Doors are at 8:00 PM and tickets are $12.00 advance. If you're in the San Gabriel Valley, head to Pomona's Glass House to see Minus the Bear,...

It appears that today will be a quiet day—not much going on the world of arts and entertainment, though what is going on is well worth your time. LAist encourages everyone to get out of the house and enjoy the last waning days of summer as we creep toward Labor Day. Tonight at the Egyptian Theatre, see Stephen Fry's new film Bright Young Things as part of the weekly Outfest screening at the Egyptian....

As the Domino's commercial on TV last night pointed out, Tuesday is the least popular night of the week. It isn't the dreaded Monday, nor that Happy Hump Day Wednesday, nor even the nearly-Friday Thursday. It is just a day where we all sit around contemplating the better part of the week left ahead and all the commuting, laundry, car washing, marketing and other inanities that need to be taken care of during the...

Happy Monday, LAists, and welcome back to the weekday grind. We hope you take advantage of the exciting array of events lined up today to help ward off the workday doldrums. Tonight at the Troubadour, see a free show featuring Wires on Fire, Werewolf With Robot Hands, Look What I Did, As Night Falls and Belladonna. Doors open at 7:00 PM and patrons under 21 have to pay a $3.00 cover....

Friday again, and the list brings you avant-noise, pop songs, singer-songwriters, horror films, samurai tales, classics, News Corporation and UFOs. What to choose? We don't know. We only bring the news. At The Echo, see the experimentally noisy Black Dice with Animal Collective and Ariel Pink. Doors open at 8:30 PM and tickets are $12.00. (18+) Downtown at The Smell, see bands from the North when Xiu Xiu (Seattle) plays with Tara Jane O'Neil(NYC)...

Not to get mushy or anything, but we here at LAist love this city. That is very likely a logical deduction, as we do write a blog about LA, which (one would hope) requires some level of affection for the great sprawling metropolis we call home. With that in mind, LAist would like to start conducting an informal Friday poll amongst our readers. We want to pick your brains and find out what you...

Slow and steady wins the race, as evidenced by tonight's awesome events. LAist is torn between them; if only someone would invent teleportation, it would be an easy choice. At the Silverlake Lounge, see indie-prog virtuosos Crime in Choir, featuring members of At the Drive-In and Hella, with Snake vs Wizard and Create!. Tickets are $7.00. Farther west at the Santa Monica Pier, show up around 7:30 PM for the 2004 Twilight Dance Series....

Today marks the centenary of Christopher Isherwood's birth. Isherwood, though born in England, spent almost his entire life in Santa Monica, where he died nearly twenty years ago. To celebrate his life, the Huntington Library has its Christopher Isherwood collection on display until October 3rd. "Born in England on August 26, 1904, Isherwood emigrated to the U.S. in 1939 and lived in Santa Monica until his death in 1986. He stands as one of...
