Escape the crushing traffic this Sunday by heading to a part of the city where all motors are banned. CicLAvia is celebrating its third anniversary with the Heart of L.A., its eighth and latest attempt to liberate the people of L.A. from their steering wheels. From 9 a.m.to 4 p.m., streets will be closed to traffic so 150,000 bicyclists can take an eco-friendly tour of the city's historic... Read more about this event >>

When Conor Oberst introduced himself as Bright Eyes in the 1990s, he inadvertently launched a version of emo rock that spoke to teenagers in shadowy bedrooms around the world. Whether or not the lyrics he sang were fictional, Oberst's fixation on isolation and dark memories led him down a musical path of aching narratives and harsh emotions. Oberst has matured since that early Bright Eyes... Read more about this event >>

If you can't wait until the West Hollywood Halloween Costume Carnaval, L.A.'s biggest cavalcade of dudes who look like ladies, there's always Best in Drag Show, which proves that it takes a real man to walk around in Lucite heels. The annual pageant spoof, benefiting nonprofit Aid for AIDS, features contestants from the country's six most important states, plus Puerto Rico -- that's... Read more about this event >>
-
Just when you thought you'd figured out what art really is, Levitated Mass by Michael Heizer is where modern art and the Protestant work ethic weirdly intersect, which is to say that a 340-ton granite megalith painstakingly transported over two weeks from Riverside sits in a 456-foot-long slot, and you get to contemplate it all. Clearly, your kid couldn't do that. Forty-five years in the... Read more about this event >>

Robert Harling's comedy-drama about female friendships has seen many stage incarnations since its debut in 1987, not to mention a popular film version with Dolly Parton. Now comes a sparkling revival from East West Players with an all–Asian-American cast. Hiwa Bourne does the honors as the sassy, opinionated Truvy, whose small-town Louisiana hair salon (well designed and accoutered by... Read more about this event >>

Are you feeling dejected, discouraged and listless? Tonight's cure for your existential malaise: Author Malcolm Gladwell talks to writer Tim Long about Gladwell's latest book, David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits and the Art of Battling Giants. This meeting of the minds finds Gladwell -- author of such meditations on the modern-day as The Tipping Point (about the wisdom of the crowd) and... Read more about this event >>

Singer Fiona Apple and guitarist Blake Mills are calling their current tour of a dozen North American cities Anything We Want, after the surreally hopeful tune on Apple's 2012 album, The Idler Wheel. Touring in a stripped-down duo format will indeed give the pair the flexibility to do almost anything they want, whether that's spontaneously changing the set list, going in unexpected vocal...

From 1900 through the 1960s, Edward Steichen photographed gowns, buildings, artists, actresses and aircraft characters. Usually the images had an air of seriousness, even if they were melodramatic, like the one of sculptor Auguste Rodin staring at (and posed like) his iconic sculpture The Thinker. Most of the images in the small Steichen show on the third floor of LACMA's Hammer building have... Read more about this event >>

"Never have I had a rational mind," Sallie Ford spits out defiantly between stomping drumbeats and coolly fuzzed-out reverb guitar chords that hang ominously in the air on her aptly titled third album, Untamed Beast. "Never gonna apologize for being so intense. How the hell would that make any sense?" With such a provocative manner and a fiery voice that twists together blues and gospel, the...

-
Sarajevo-born composer and bandleader Goran Bregovic leads a scarifyingly tight ensemble of strings, horns, choir, brass and percussion. The group is a purveyor of traditional Balkan tunes for any occasion. Best known for his score for the 1989 film Time of the Gypsies, Bregovic delivers a good-humored yet schizoid sound in which dignified, pensive pieces by his orchestra's string quartet are...

-
As the title indicates, Humor Abuse is no lighthearted evening of sidesplitting laughs. Demonstrating elaborate pratfalls, juggling and elegant comedy bits, Lorenzo Pisoni's solo clown show charts his upbringing as a fourth-generation vaudevillian and performer, focusing mainly on a relationship with his father that was more work than play. Lorenzo took to the stage in his parents' company,... Read more about this event >>
-
Ivan Morley's A True Tale paintings were painted onto cracked glass, then peeled off and affixed to aluminum, but it might not matter much whether you know this or not. You'll still get that sense of a shattered surface when you looked at them, and the twisty shapes and colors that vaguely follow the fissures still would evoke psychedelic stained glass. Two True Tale works appear in Morley's... Read more about this event >>

With its gorgeously remote, rural setting, nestled in a ring of rolling hills, and its eye-poppingly vivid sprawl of 10,000 or so pumpkins, Canyon Country landmark Lombardi Ranch's annual Pumpkin Festival never fails to deliver plenty of seasonal kicks and idyllic, agrarian atmosphere. Proprietors of a working, family-owned farm for some 70 years, the Lombardis grow corn, tomatoes, peppers,... Read more about this event >>
-
Ghebaly Gallery, the space run by François Ghebaly, started out in Chinatown, moved into a muffler shop in Culver City in 2009 and now has an impressively big space by the Dames and Games nightclub downtown, adjacent to the space the young-and-growing Night Gallery opened in January. It'll wait to renovate until this first show, Neil Beloufa's "Speaking About Best," is over. Right now,... Read more about this event >>
-
One of the great things about the sprawling, three-ring circus known as Gogol Bordello is that no animals are ever harmed during their riotous performances. Except for human animals, that is. Lead singer Eugene Hutz usually remains unscathed when he flings himself about the stage, climbs into the rafters or surveys the horizon like a captain in his ship while being carried precariously atop a...

Even L.A. landmarks deserve a great first birthday -- and Grand Park is no exception. The downtown venue is turning a year old in style, with a One-Year Anniversary Celebration Picnic that's free to the masses. With live blues featured for the park's annual Daniel Pearl World Music Days concert, it's a great way to get the whole family outside enjoying themselves. Want to give back without...

-
John Fogerty, who as leader of late-'60s hitmakers Creedence Clearwater Revival managed to cleave to old-school American rock & roll vernacular at the height of the Flower Power era's patchouli-doused self-indulgence, has endured a bizarre course of thwarts and vexations. Perhaps the only pop-music figure ever to be sued for plagiarizing himself (a long, weird, ugly story -- Fogerty, of... Read more about this event >>

From the late 1950s through the '70s, John Mason made monuments that sometimes riffed on the prehistoric, like his 1957 ceramic Vertical Spear form. Or sometimes he made pop products seem prehistoric, like the 1959 ceramic Blue Wall, which looks like petrified blue jeans spread across a wall. The ceramic totems in his current show at David Kordansky, made between 1997 and 2002 and worth... Read more about this event >>

Daniel Beaty's West Coast premiere revives the lost-to-history account of Roland Hayes, a son of former slaves and the first internationally lauded African-American classical singer. Raised in the South on hard work and spirituals, Hayes (Elijah Rock) overcomes early tragedy to perform in Chattanooga's black churches. When an instructor intervenes to provide professional training, Hayes... Read more about this event >>

The Dogs were punk rock before the term even existed, forming in 1969 in Lansing, Mich., where they were inspired by such high-energy forebears as The Stooges and The MC5. But when The Dogs headed West, relocating to Hollywood in the mid-1970s, their songs became shorter, faster and meaner, anticipating the punk revolution that was right around the corner. The trio has been performing live... Read more about this event >>
-
For Subsuelo's Los Tres Marks event, three of the most daring and experimental musicians -- all named Mark -- come together to dismantle and then reassemble hip-hop, funk, soul and ferociously rare vintage keyboards and even children's toys, too. Jurassic 5 alum Nu-Mark has an entire set augmented by noisemaking toddler toys -- you'll never look at Fisher-Price the same way again -- while... Read more about this event >>
-
Susan Silas' found birds series involves, as the title suggests, finding birds on sidewalks, alleys or lots. They've already died by the time Silas takes them home to photograph over a period of time. Often she treats them like sacred specimens, placing them against a white backdrop and photographing them as though they're objects. But in a new body of images on view in her show "Raven" at...

Sometimes the planets align in the best possible way. And so it is with L.A.'s own BODYTRAFFIC. It was a significant coup when the contemporary dance troupe's artistic directors, Lilian Barbeito and Tina Finkelman Berkett, persuaded New York's choreographer of the moment, Kyle Abraham, to create a new work for their 6-year-old company. But how could anyone predict that the premiere of... Read more about this event >>
-
The original production of The Laramie Project rode on the wave of passion and grief spawned by the murder of Matthew Shepard. The current work, which looks at Laramie and the related issues as they appear 10 years after the fact, is necessarily more contemplative and thoughtful, but it builds up its own brand of steam. Predictably, opinions of Laramie, Wyo., citizens were all over the place.... Read more about this event >>
-
It's hard to stand out in a sonic landscape where singer songwriters are a penny a dozen, especially when armed only with an acoustic guitar. But for the past decade, Kate Victoria Tunstall, better known as KT Tunstall, has defied the odds. Tunstall's breakout track, 2005's "Black Horse and a Cherry Tree," still gets radio play and her stronghold on contemporary folk rock is monumental, as... Read more about this event >>

Emphasizing the cultural diversity thing, Filter's annual rock and pop extravaganza boasts a nicely varied slice of some of the best bands we've currently got going in L.A. and beyond, as Culture Collide includes acts from England, France, Germany, Sweden, Poland, Hungary and Singapore. Headliners include the essential Liars, King Khan & the Shrines, the perennially great Raveonettes, Of... Read more about this event >>

Most members of the Los Angeles Facial Society have chin hairs older than their new club, which just launched in July. Founded by two men and two women, all ardent stubble supporters, the group promotes what co-founder Michael Sparks calls "facial-hair awareness," with the goal of "unifying California's facial-hair community." When members aren't recruiting mutton-chopped men around town,... Read more about this event >>

Warpaint are fairly popular in England, where they often appear in music polls and on magazine covers, but the quartet got their start here in L.A.. No matter. Their sparkling reveries aren't limited by geographic boundaries, although there are some commonalities with British hazy-pop bands like Cocteau Twins. War-paint's chansons seem to float freely over this world and move directly into... Read more about this event >>

Throughout their 32 years of activity, Pet Shop Boys have sold an impressive 50 million records worldwide and collaborated with heavyweights including David Bowie, Elton John, Liza Minnelli and Madonna, among an array of talented others. After 28 years with the label Parlophone, the U.K.-based pop mega duo released its 12th studio LP, Electric, on Kobalt Records in July. Of this album, the... Read more about this event >>

Some of the collaged-together paintings in Devon Troy Strother's show "Look at all my shit," on view at Richard Heller Gallery, have mouthfuls for titles. One of the longest belongs to the painting in which pitch-black figures with afros ride tangerine-colored cheetahs among multiple layers of zigzagging grass, bloodying each other with spears. It's called That National Geographic shit:... Read more about this event >>

As tempting as it is to don a Halloween costume that reflects popular culture -- an orange-faced John Boehner, a green-egged Ted Cruz or a twerking Mylie -- why not make an effort to stand apart from the undulating asses? Seek out an authentic period costume at the Vintage Fashion Expo. Better yet, stock your closet with unique clothing classics. After 25 years at the Santa Monica Civic...

The Beyond Eden art fair began in 2008 as East of Eden. By its sophomore installation, however, the name had been changed to relect the fact that the new contemporary art movement had outgrown the Eastside geography that was its L.A. spawning ground, occupying galleries all over town and claiming a seat at the mainstream art table. Now in its fourth edition, Beyond Eden is a rock & roll take... Read more about this event >>

The name John Wilkes Booth isn't likely to be forgotten, but many are unaware that the infamous assassin was part of an accomplished family of actors. In this solo show, Darin Dahms brings the Booth clan to life. Drawing on historical and biographical material, Dahms constructs what is mostly a commanding portrait of the Booths. It touches on the drunken, tormented theatrical genius of... Read more about this event >>
