Thursday 2/25 CHEAP TRICK @ House of Blues Sunset Strip
Remember Cheap Trick from back in the day? No? Well, that’s because they’re from the 70′s. Remember the 70′s? No? Well, that’s because you weren’t born yet. Whether or not you’ve ever heard of them, check them out this Thursday at the House of Blues as part of their U.S. tour and see the original lineup perform the original “I Want You To Want Me” (no, not the cover version from 10 Things I Hate About You). Because, even though they may be old, you’re never too old to rock out.
Friday 2/26 MEMORY TAPES @ Spaceland
Jersey boy Dayve Hawk creates dreamy, danceable music that sounds like something of a distant, well, memory. Spend your Friday night in ecstasy (or on it) as you submerge yourself in Memory Tapes hypnotic charm.
Saturday 1/27 DIRTY PROJECTORS with Los Angeles Philharmonic @ Walt Disney Concert Hall
What happens when ACapella goes experimental? You get the Dirty Projectors. The Brooklyn-based ACapella/experimental/indie-rock sextet co-headlines with the Los Angeles Philharmonic this Saturday at the Walt Disney Concert Hall.
