More About
Last fall the Monster Energy Outbreak Tour featured a bill of punishing extreme-metal bands, topped by Of Mice & Men and Iwrestledabearonce. This year the neon-green beverage firm has teamed with XXL to present somewhat lighter-hearted performances by members of the hip-hop magazine's so-called Freshman Classes, including the latest crop, with Machine Gun Kelly, Danny Brown, Roscoe Dash and Iggy Azalea, among others. Previously anointed MCs headline each show; here in L.A. we'll get Big Sean, which seems like something of a disappointment, given the fact that dude was just here last month with Trey Songz. (San Francisco gets the much more exciting Kendrick Lamar.) At press time only L.A.-based Kid Ink had been confirmed to represent the young'uns, but more appearances seem likely. —Mikael Wood
Also playing:
TELEPATHE, TEARIST, DUOLOGUE at the Echo; WHITE ARROWS, KRADDY at the Roxy.

Ken Parker, Fully Fullwood Band
THE ECHOPLEX
The first local show by renowned Jamaican rock-steady spearhead Ken Parker is a big, fat, groovy deal. The Sam Cooke–influenced crooner is prized for his sweet, persuasive approach, but Parker's style is strong enough to take complete control; when he covered familiar American hits like "A Change Is Gonna Come" and "Help Me Make It Through the Night," he owned them. Parker's dreamy atmospherics, a mix of emotional intensity and coolly understated delivery, are compelling enough, but the fact that he's backed by legendary bassist Fully Fullwood's Band (aka Soul Syndicate) is the stunner. Fully, guitarist Tony Chin and drummer Santa Davis are some of the best, hardest reggae players alive, and with the possibility of dub alchemist Scientist grabbing the controls, this is a certifiable mind-blower. —Jonny Whiteside
Also playing:
MICHELE COLTRANE at PIPS; WHITE RABBITS, GULL at El Rey Theatre; 6BLOCC, ELOS, SATELLITES at the Airliner.

Mr. Gnome
BOOTLEG THEATER
Mr. Gnome demonstrated their mastery in conjuring massive sonic storms on their most recent album, Madness in Miniature, with singer-guitarist Nicole Barille's serrated riffs pummeled into oblivion by drummer Sam Meister. But the Cleveland duo also has a contrastingly delicate and arty side on aptly titled new single "Softly Mad." On gauzy soundscape "The Way," Barille indeed goes softly mad, with chillingly ghostly vocals layered with spidery veins of sparkling guitar. Like Wye Oak drummer Andy Stack, Meister is able to hold down the beat while simultaneously issuing atmospheric sheets of shimmering keyboards with his free hand. As with everything else Mr. Gnome does, the combination of influences — light and darkness, noise and beauty — is peculiar and mesmerizing, and quite unlike the music of anybody else in America today. —Falling James
Hot Snakes
TROUBADOUR
Though it's always been an on-again, off-again outfit (with guitarist John Reis being in Rocket From the Crypt and band members often residing in different cities), Hot Snakes seem able to shame full-time acts at will. These San Diegans sound like they're more about making music than making money. With very DIY production and an irreverent, garage-y approach to post-hardcore songwriting, their mainstream appeal is limited, but they also earn big cred. To listen to Hot Snakes is to picture four blokes in a room thoughtfully bashing their instruments. The beats are primal and loose, the guitars are tunefully abrasive and patiently insistent, and Rick Froberg's detached yap is knowing yet past caring. With post-hardcore largely bastardized into metallic mutations, Hot Snakes are an organic echo of a once wonderful idea. —Paul Rogers
Ute Lemper & the Vogler Quartet
ROYCE HALL
Life is much more than a cabaret when Ute Lemper comes to town. Her new album is titled Paris Days, Berlin Nights, but she also flies down to Argentina with interpretations of tangos by Astor Piazzolla. The German chanteuse alternates between a seductive purr and brassy declamations as she wends her way through standards by Jacques Brel, Chava Albertstein, Edith Piaf and her longtime standby, Kurt Weill. The Vogler Quartet, a Berlin string ensemble, and arranger-pianist Stefan Malzew segue deftly from a jazzy bounce to a classical elegance, giving these tunes a playfully merry sophistication. For tonight's show, the singer-actor will croon in Spanish, German, French and English. Perhaps we'll get lucky and she'll throw in a few selections from her Charles Bukowski project, based on the sodden poems of the late San Pedro poet. —Falling James
Also playing:
TEGO CALDERON at Conga Room; ROBBEN FORD at Catalina; RAY J at Key Club; FALLING IN REVERSE, DEAD SARA, MATT TOKA at Club Nokia.
