With absurd markups on alcohol in restaurants, it seems impossible to get a good buzz when your pockets don't run knee-deep. So what's better than finding a place that sells cheap beer? Finding a place that gives out free beer. That's what you get, and more, at GORUCK's War Stories and Free Beer. The traveling get-together serves as an outlet for military veterans to share their stories, a... Read more about this event >>

It's a blow-out year for music documentaries -- Joe Meek, Danny Fields and Big Star all are headed for the multiplex -- and now L.A.'s own Stones Throw gets onscreen with the crushing Our Vinyl Weighs a Ton. Crowd funded to completion late last year, Our Vinyl follows Stones Throw founder Peanut Butter Wolf from inspiration to tragedy -- the death of MC Charizma, still an influence on the...

As soon as you walk through the door at Redling Fine Art, you are standing inches from one of Dash Manley's paintings. All the paintings in his current exhibition are double-sided -- maybe with fields of color on raw linen on one side and a Plexiglas-covered collage on the other -- and leaning against upright steel armatures bolted to the floor at various angles that make the room feel like a...

The Colony Theatre's latest effort isn't quite there yet: Mark Saltzman's world-premiere musical about the wordsmith half of songwriting duo Rodgers and Hart requires polishing (and a hit would help get the faltering theater back on its feet). But for music lovers and nostalgic theater buffs, this revue directed by Jim Fall offers tender moments, two dozen of the pair's greatest hits and a... Read more about this event >>

At some point, each of us must ask ourselves the fundamental question: Am I as groovy as Ricki Lake? Many will try but few will be able to fill the shoes of the racism-conquering, plus size-modeling, big hair-sporting teenage heroine of John Waters' classic 1988 film, Hairspray. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't try! Celebrate the 25th anniversary of Baltimore's reigning dance queen supreme... Read more about this event >>

Much as C. Montgomery Burns is the face of nuclear power and Pablo Picasso is the face of unrecognizable faces, Dita Von Teese has become the personage representing the resurgence of burlesque as a force in popular culture. Performing her latest extravaganza, Burlesque: Strip, Strip Hooray! , the Los Feliz resident and her burlesque hit squad -- MC Murray Hill, Dirty Martini, Catherine... Read more about this event >>
-
On the third Sea Wolf album, Old World Romance, lone wolf Alex Brown Church embraces adulthood. These beautifully crafted songs showcase Sea Wolf's signature emotive nature by turning themselves inside out with refreshing fluidity. Propelled by glistening melodies, which crib from Travis' Fran Healy a touch more than they should and take almost too many cues from Echo & the Bunnymen's Ian... Read more about this event >>
-
New York artist Leidy Churchman's small paintings of an ambulance, a sky-blue rectangle against a gray one and a devil hang in colored frames on the walls of Human Resources, with L.A. artist Math Bass' sculptures arranged on the floor. There's a column made of brand-new garden pots, faux animal skins, an orange-and-black-spotted tarp draped over an armature we can't see and a red flag that... Read more about this event >>

It was a proposition Alonzo King couldn't refuse. As artistic director of the Alonzo King LINES Ballet and an internationally known choreographer, King was used to invitations to choreograph for other companies, but no one before had asked him to bring his 12 LINES dancers with him. But when the offer came from Hubbard Street Dance Chicago artistic director Glenn Edgerton, King said yes. The... Read more about this event >>

If you've forgotten the childlike joy and sublime wonderment of seeing magic performed, Albie Selznick's theatrical show is an enchanting reminder. The accomplished actor-magician puts on a bewildering tour de force that has more "how did he do that" flashes than can be counted. The show also has a personal element, as Selznick recounts his long path to becoming a master magician, starting... Read more about this event >>

Drummer Kendrick Scott is a man of faith, introspection and Conviction, the name of his latest, best-selling album. He's also a fan of Bruce Lee and The Matrix. How would that movie's Oracle respond to sharing her name with his band? She might say, "You didn't come here to make the choice, you've already made it. Now you have to understand it." Understanding the depths of Scott's music might... Read more about this event >>

In an effort to jumpstart a music scene on the Westside, the inaugural Venice Music Crawl is stacked with sponsors and a commendable roster of bands ready to take Venice to the next level. On the heels of Central SAPC closing, VMC is enthusiastic about launching the first weekend of summer and collecting music lovers in a fresh and untapped section of the city. Despite the Westside's "bubble"... Read more about this event >>

Although Iris DeMent was raised in Los Angeles, the Arkansas native rarely performs here, appearing in this city about as often as she releases albums. Her latest, 2012's Sing the Delta, was issued a mere eight years after her fourth album, a set of gospel standards titled Lifeline, but it's been more than 16 years since DeMent's previous collection of original tunes, 1996's The Way I Should....

Norman Rockwell and the Boy Scouts of America have a lot in common. Rockwell's beloved illustrations helped shape America's view of itself as it faced a rapidly changing world, and the Scouts were frequently Rockwell's subjects. Back in the day, the two shared the same wholesomely nostalgic, all-American image. But since their heyday, both have undergone image renovations -- and that's where... Read more about this event >>
-
Yunhee Min used a squeegee to apply acrylic paint to the linen-covered frames and the tubes of fluorescent lights standing vertically in her current exhibition at Susanne Vielmetter Projects in Culver City. Although the colors she uses -- ultramarine blue, yellow, orange, fuchsia -- are buoyant, the thick strokes the squeegee makes have a muscular forcefulness to them. Min calls her show, and...

-
The great Cole Porter, master of both music and lyrics, once snidely remarked about Rodgers and Hammerstein, "Since when does it take two people to write a song?" Stephen Schwartz might agree -- after all, he's written both the music and lyrics to umpteen Broadway and screen hits. This weekend, the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles closes out its season with a tribute to Schwartz, who appears... Read more about this event >>
-
Playwright Dale Griffiths Stamos' drama boasts a charged debate about faith versus science that's engagingly even-handed and surprisingly evocative. Renowned TV celebrity psychic Judith Knight (Michelle Danner) offers an exclusive interview to hard-boiled reporter Teresa (Jane Hajduk), who is mystified by the request, given that she is a fierce disbeliever in the occult and is also the...

High-gloss synth-pop meets the damp 'n' doom in Toronto's Austra, whose 2011 Feel It Break debut earned wild huzzahs for its cold-ass treks down electro-rock's gothier paths. Katie Stelmanis doesn't so much sing as wield a vocal razor, in a tolerably affected operatic mode well matching the highly stylized, remorselessly machinelike textures and beats that envelop her on the band's new album,...

-
People seem to only love or hate Zooey Deschanel, finding her either adorably cute or insufferably contrived in her attempts to be cute, with hardly any middle ground in between. Perhaps folks confuse the singer with the ditzy character she portrays on the sitcom New Girl, but she's nonetheless a perfectly charming and credible pop chanteuse, especially when paired with the talented guitarist...

-
A green vinyl sign above the security desk at the Getty Center asks, "Is a museum for everyone?" Another sign affixed to the floor in the rotunda at the top of the main stairs asks, "Is a museum fun?" These and other questions are part of L.A. artist Sam Durant's #isamuseum project. The idea is that visitors will answer, either on Twitter on their phones, later on the website or by going up... Read more about this event >>
-
Artist Shinique Smith traveled from New York to Los Angeles a few times this year to meet with students at Charles White Elementary School, to talk to them about her work and to invite them to help her make one of her hanging sculptures: fabrics mashed together, then suspended to look like unwieldy creatures. LACMA's education department spearheaded this effort, called "Firsthand," and the... Read more about this event >>
-
When Peter (Burt Grinstead) unexpectedly shows up at Kelly's (Laurie Okin) Lower Manhattan apartment, the mood is prickly and awkward. That's understandable; Peter is the identical twin of her husband, Craig, a hard-as-nails soldier who recently died in a military accident in Iraq. But during their conversation, many questions tug at this pair, threatening to bring them down into an emotional... Read more about this event >>

Can millions of Justin Bieber fans be wrong? Yes! But the point is, those panting hordes exist; they're not going away (not just yet, anyway), and neither is The, uh, Man himself: Justin Bieber! Listen, there have always been and will always be pop stars, no matter how much you want to piss and moan about it, and J.B., aka The Bieb, is in fact a classic, that partly manufactured/part...

If you can't make the trek all the way out to the Integratron in Landers this week, you can still get your soothing, cooling Summer Solstice bliss from a sound bath at the Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock. Let the tonal frequencies from the quartz crystal bowls and Paiste planetary gongs enter your head and stimulate your neural pathways as you lie on a blanket, eyes closed, entering a...

DJ Screws, who spearheaded the "Chopped and Screwed" hip-hop genre where tracks were slowed way down and beats skipped, died in 2000 of a cough syrup overdose. Ten years later, Romanian programmer Paul Octavian Nasca continued the "Chopped and Screwed" legacy by slowing down Justin Bieber's "U Smile" by 800 percent. In artist Nicolas Lobo's video Grape Syrup Action for Paul Octavian Nasca,... Read more about this event >>

Influenced by the likes of Timbaland, Missy Elliott and Tupac, Australian-born femcee Iggy Azalea began honing her craft soon after relocating to Miami and Atlanta. In a 2012 interview with The Pop Manifesto, the Island Def Jam rap sensation explained: "I lived in the South for five years. … The people who taught me to rap are all from the South, and so was the music I had listened to...

Hollywood, known more for its movies and clubs than its pop-up theater and one-man showcases, is letting its Fringe show this month. The Hollywood Fringe, dedicated to promoting creative freedom through open-access art, will feature hundreds of shows in 20 venues, all located between Franklin and Melrose. First conceptualized in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1947, the Hollywood Fringe is entering... Read more about this event >>

Can you believe it’s been four years since the King of Pop died? Four years! What seems like an eternity will be compressed into 12 nostalgic hours as Michael Jackson’s United Nation International Fan Club launches its fourth annual Remembering Michael Memories Tour. The event is a chance for die-hard fans to commiserate and share stories about what the man’s art meant to... Read more about this event >>
-
As a collaborative project featuring members of Le Butcherettes and The Mars Volta, El Paso quartet Bosnian Rainbows often exceeds the limitations of those earlier groups. Rising from the ashes of latter-day punks At the Drive-In, the more commercially hard-rocking Mars Volta dazzled fans with tangled, prog-inspired guitar noodling, but the songs weren't memorably structured, and live...

-
With all due apologies to Mozart, Henry Mancini and The Chantays, has there ever been a cooler piece of instrumental music than "Green Onions" by Booker T. & the M.G.'s? The slinky, strutting track rides a simple blues pattern, but Steve Cropper's curt smacks of guitar and Booker T. Jones' propulsive, glowing Hammond B-3 organ elevated the 1962 track into something eternal. Booker T. has... Read more about this event >>
-
Most of the paintings in John Wesley's current exhibition at David Kordansky Gallery are done in his favorite colors: blues and pinks. They're also consistently, intentionally executed, which makes their quirky suggestiveness seem almost natural. Black-haired, naked girls with soft pink skin are on their knees and covering their heads on a baby blue bike helmet Wesley painted in 1973. A... Read more about this event >>
-
From its haunting, memory-play opening to the uplifting poignancy of its final, surprise reveal, John Kander and Fred Ebb's 2010 risk-taking musical retelling of one of the galvanizing episodes of the early civil-rights movement makes for a stirring summation of the songwriting team's 45-year Broadway career. The Scottsboro Boys' biggest gamble is its greatest coup: namely, its conceit of... Read more about this event >>

LA may not be the mystic beauty it once was to a 20-year-old Robert Plant, but that hasn't stopped the icon from returning to the City of Angels with his newest band, The Sensational Space Shifters. Comprised of members from his previous project, The Strange Sensation, Plant is particularly enthusiastic about the new act, telling L.A. Weekly earlier this month, "I'm able to get the 'R.P.'...

-
One of Cornell Campbell's biggest reggae songs in the '70s was "The Gorgon," which makes perfect sense -- Campbell's a mythic figure all his own, too. He cut his share of songs at Coxsone Dodd's famed Studio One, working on some recordings before he was even 12 years old, but it was with Jamaican producer Bunny Lee that he'd put down some of his most enduring work (including, of course, the...

-
In a world roiled by such dire threats as religious extremism, killer tornadoes and untreatable new viruses, one danger invariably outstrips all of them combined: greed. The massive January 2010 earthquake that reduced Haiti to a sea of mud, misery, rape and rubble generated an almost equally seismic tide of relief and recovery cash donations -- more than $3.5 billion. Yet more than three... Read more about this event >>

The gospel-informed veteran singer Mavis Staples, one of America's greatest soul survivors, never fails to flabbergast. With her singular style, that slinky, sanctified, oft-minor-keyed brand of funk dignity (first proposed and codified by brilliant forebear Pops Staples in the mid-20th century), Mavis' mixture of flawless technique, experiential verve and illimitable talent can take any song...

The Farmers & Merchants Bank has been downtown on the corner of Fourth and Main since 1905. It was built in the Classical Revival style, which means it has faux-Corinthian columns outside and cavernous ceilings and a high balcony just for show inside -- the garish chandeliers probably came later. The bank has been an events venue since the 1980s; the event there now is "Painting in Place," an... Read more about this event >>
-
The title Cops and Friends of Cops references the raucous "cops only" night held monthly at the tumbledown St. Louis bar in Ron Klier's suspenseful drama. While Dom (Paul Vincent O'Connor) prepares the bar for the night's guests, he is joined by the shabby-looking Paul (Johnny Clark), who insists on staying, in spite of Dom's repeated warnings that "the place is slammed with cops" and his...
