It’s a stellar live music week in Los Angeles. Hot on everyone’s list this week, is the official opening of the Teragram Ballroom featuring a headlining set by Spoon! Also on the hot list are huge acts like U2, Tony Bennet and Lady Gaga, but our votes always lean towards to more underground and indie acts. This week we have: Refused, Rocket From The Crypt, Diarrhea Planet, Slick Rick, Kopecky, Will Butler, Robert Delong and many more. And we can’t forget the fuckin’ L7 REUNION SHOW! Check out all the best show in Los Angeles below.
