Le Butcherettes
Los Angeles concert-goers will forget all about June Gloom once they see the brilliant array of eclectic shows to choose from this month. From a British invasion featuring cooler-than-thou artists such as Birdy, Beth Orton, Eagulls, and Rationale to hometown heroes and newbies such as Death Valley Girls, Veronica Bianqui, Adult Books, and Banta celebrating their record release parties, June is already off to a strong start. Spicing things up with a little international flavor are Brazilian songstress CÉU and Australian musical wonders Matt Corby and The Temper Trap, to name a few. Ace hip-hop shows include the witty lyricism and thumping beats of Anderson .Paak, The Roots, The Pharcyde and Del The Funky Homosapien. You can even revel in the sonic glory of iconic musicians such as Toots and The Maytals, Lee Scratch Perry and Bob Dylan who will be taking their deserved places in the spotlight. We’re betting you won’t be able to choose just one concert to attend, so go ahead and let us help you pick several!
