This week brings back that Rolling Stones fever, with yet another arena show taking place at the Honda Center on Wednesday. We really hope you get to see these legends live on their 50 & Counting tour because their shows have been absolutely sensational (we did Echoplex, STAPLES and Vegas MGM). Regardless, this weeks has some other gems for your viewing pleasure: Devendra Banhart, Motorhead, The Black Keys, Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, Sea Wolf, Big Boi, The Ocean Blue, The Black Angels, The Warlocks, Chali 2na and more
While keeping it selective, we’ve handpicked shows from all genres to satisfy your musical palette. The show listings in HOT PINK are this week’s top show picks! Let us know if we missed something good on our Los Angeles Concert Calendar (May 13-19, 2013).
