LA/San Diego advice

moff [Edit] [Delete] 8 replies 13:47, 13 August '10

Does anyone know of any good blogs/forums etc to find out about decent gig happening in LA (or San Diego)?

Basically anywhere I can find out about more "underground" goings on - be it hardcore/metal/electronic/noise - anything really. DIY shows also.

I'm going at the end of Sept, and may get to see AIds WOlf which is nice but want more!

Thanks in advance!

  • are you me?

    I'm going Sept 30th -> Oct 4th, so will be at that AIDS Wolf show.

    Sadly I've not found so much out about DIY shows. there are links on The Smell's site and also http://www.allagesmovementproject.org but a lot of them seem to not be booking shows or on a break right now.

    ohmyrockness is good for shows though, and if you're search Last FM you're better off doing it from Hollywood rather than LA - for some reason searching LA leaves out a lot of the Hollywood clubs, but searching Hollywood includes everything. buh?

    • haha, I just may be!

      I'm going out on the 21st Sept - 25th, then head to Vegas for a mates wedding then head back up to finish in LA again before flying out on the second. I just have to convince the Mrs that seeing Aids Wolf is the perfect way to spend the last night of the holiday.......

      Yea, I found lot's seemed to not be booking at the moment also. Arab on Radar are playing a few but just before we're out there. Cheers for the tips though - I'll let you know if I find owt else also.......

    http://www.rawkblog.net/ (dave who runs this is an awesome guy, also does bits for http://www.thisisbrandx.com/)
    http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/music/ (good for a big newspaper)
    http://www.laweekly.com/music (worth picking up a copy)
    http://thescenestar.typepad.com/ (good for general listings)
    http://www.losanjealous.com/ (ditto)
    http://laist.com/ (good for random stuff to do)
    http://dublab.com/ (put on some good events)
