Every month I listen to the majority of bands/musicians that play in Los Angeles before deciding which shows to recommend. Songs are then added to a playlist for that month. If there are a lot of good bands, it gets split into two. These are August’s selections.
Every week before making suggestions for which bands to see in Los Angeles, I preview every band or performer I find a listing for. If I think they are worth checking out I put them in that month’s playlist and then when the month is over I review it and make it public.
This month there was a lot of good music so the playlist has been split into two.
The playlists above are a selection of songs from the bands and performers that played in Los Angeles last month.
May was a great month to see music in Los Angeles- so good one playlist for the month wasn’t enough!
There were a lot of great bands in Los Angeles last month, so many that I broke it down into two playlists.
This playlist is a selection of songs from bands and musicians that played in Los Angeles in February 2019.
Every week before posting the list of events for the weekend in Los Angeles, I listen to all the bands that are playing around the city (and occasionally elsewhere) to narrow down what shows I think are worth checking out. When I hear a band or singer I like, I choose one of their songs to put in that month’s playlist.
Below is the January 2019 playlist and currently there are monthly public playlists on the website’s Spotify profile going back to January of 2018.
Yasiin Bey- Niggas in Poorest
On Sunday, 1/13/19, Yasiin Bey (the artist formerly known as Mos Def) will be performing over all Kanye West beats at The Regent Theater.

The above video is from the Penelope Spheeris’ LA punk documentary The Decline of Western Civilization and features the band’s 1980 performance.
