It’s no April Fool’s Joke, this week is chock full of awesome concerts to check out — what better way to usher in the Spring! Need to let loose on the dance floor? The opportunities are endless. Santigold will be bumping at The Hollywood Palladium, Quantic’s bringing tropical vibes to the El Rey Theatre and Dub Club will be dropping boss jams with Sister Nancy at The Echoplex. If you want a dose of comedy with your musical entertainment be sure to check out the weird, quirky and absolutely fabulous British comedian Noel Fielding headlining the Fonda Theatre for five nights. If you’re searching for something more low-key enjoy the indie stylings of Mothers at The Echo or if you’d like to catch a living legend live Elvis Costello will be performing at The Theatre at Ace Hotel.
