KEM
@ CLUB NOKIA
To hear KEM's pebble-smooth voice draped over gently jazzy, groovy love songs, you'd have no idea that he hadn't been groomed by some soft-jazz A&R. But he wrote, produced and financed his 2003 self-released debut, Kemistry, with a credit card and odd jobs as a waiter and wedding singer. Those days are long gone, as both that album and his 2005 follow-up went gold, and "Why Would You Stay," a single from his latest, 2010's Intimacy Album III, is perfect for the "Quiet Storm" dedication set. KEM has no interest in crossing over to croon for the hip-hop crowd; he makes music strictly for the grown-n-sexy. Candlelit dinner followed by this concert is the way to your woman's heart, fellas. —Rebecca Haithcoat
@ THE MUSIC BOX
Ice Cube hopped into hot water last year around this time, declaring on his blog and subsequent album, "I am the West." He has a valid point: As an original member of N.W.A, he penned most of Straight Outta Compton, the album that thrust L.A. onto a stage New York thought it owned. But after the controversial, acclaimed AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted, he tasted Hollywood for the first time with a role in Boyz n the Hood, and he liked it. Though Cube continues to make albums, and his gruff, no-nonsense delivery hasn't lost its menace, his focus now is on television and film. Still, during his headlining show at last year's Paid Dues Festival, he proved he can not only pack a house but also turn it into one head-bobbing, steady-mobbing gangsta nation. [Ed.'s note: He's also down with the Juggalos — see last week's interview with ICP.] —Rebecca Haithcoat
@ EL REY THEATRE
The Gym Class Heroes frontman is calling his current North American trek the Sgt. Schlepper's Who Needs Hearts Band Tour, and though that name definitely gives us pause, we advise showing up early if only to catch Black Cards, the new project from Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy. (They've yet to release an album, but songs posted online betray the influence of Rock Steady–era No Doubt.) The bill includes rappers Donnis and XV, as well as Boston-based synth-rockers Bad Rabbits, who are at work on their debut with New Jack Swing pioneer Teddy Riley. As for McCoy himself? Last year's Lazarus is a lot more fun than "Billionaire," its hit lead single, might suggest. Dude covers a Supergrass song! —Mikael Wood

The Entrance Band
@ THE SATELLITE
A fantastic idea for one of the Satellite's inaugural residencies: L.A.'s unique wild jammers the Entrance Band. Every Entrance Band show is a physical workout for the psyche. Go. [Check out our interview with force-of-nature bassist Paz Lenchantin at laweekly.com.] —Gustavo Turner
She Wants Revenge
@ GLASS HOUSE
When She Wants Revenge first shimmied out of the Valley with their detached, almost android new-wave tales of highly charged late-night lust, it was hard to believe that half of the duo, frontman Justin Warfield, once had a trippy hip-hop hit (1991's "Season of the Vic") and sang for the decidedly dancey Bomb the Bass. Their sophomore album, 2007's This Is Forever, was a listless parody of their quite wonderful Joy Division/Sisters of Mercy–indebted debut, released just the previous year, and the band subsequently parted company with their major label. Lately, apparently freed from stylistic expectations, their dance roots are delightfully re-emerging. Tracks like "All Wound Up," while still achingly '80s, suggest that their imminent third album should include some squelchy, synthy fun. —Paul Rogers
