Calendar of Events in Los Angeles

Robin Hannibal is leading a double life this year with full-length releases from both his projects, Rhye and Quadron. Hannibal's formidable production skills are put to their best use when they are paired with an exceptional voice, which Coco O., his partner in Quadron, certainly has. Calling Quadron "blue-eyed soul" would be an insult. Both members have an authentic understanding of soul... Read more about this event >>
-
Three more Balanchine masterworks, with music by Ravel and Stravinsky; film clips of Balanchine's Hollywood movie choreography; preperformance discussions with a lineup of former New York City Ballet stars, L.A. dance critics and historians; and a roster of gorgeous dancers -- it's all part of Los Angeles Ballet's Balanchine Red, the second half of its Balanchine festival celebrating the most...

Perhaps still recovering from 14 months spent opening Lady Gaga's 2009-2011 "Monster Ball" world arena tour, and in the calm before the frenzy that will be their imminent third album cycle, Semi Precious Weapons strut back into clubland with this one-off at the 150-capacity Mint. Though fans will need to shell out at least $50 (for a shows-only pass to the two-day OvertureCon) to see it,... Read more about this event >>
-
Local artists paint on a 100-foot wall, with vendors offering clothing, art and jewelry, and live screen printing of limited-edition T-shirts. Presented by Coup Street. Read more about this event >>
-
For most of his life, Dmitri Shostakovich walked a nerve-jangling tightrope, trying to please his country's repressive communist regime while maintaining his artistic integrity. His Cello Concerto No. 1 (1959) was a success on both counts. Described by cello authority Lev S. Ginsburg as "an affirmation of life, triumph in the struggle for fulfillment," this amazing work is considered the most... Read more about this event >>
-
Few materials are weirder and tackier than kitchen laminate, the kind you put on countertops to give them that faux-something look. London-based artist Steven Claydon uses laminate liberally in his new show at David Kordansky Gallery. He uses greenish and brown varieties on his frames and pedestals, and its smooth, new surfaces suggest the kind of luxury purportedly offered by bland new... Read more about this event >>
-
Traditional productions of Peter Pan have relied on huge casts, acres of elaborate scenery and complicated flying apparatus, but director Michael Matthews proves that's all unnecessary in this production of Michael Lluberes' revisionist adaptation. For starters, there's a male actor, Daniel Shawn Miller, playing Peter, and a female Captain Hook (Trisha LaFache, who also doubles as Mrs.... Read more about this event >>

Rachel Fannan of Only You has a voice like … well, she has a voice like a lot of different things, most of which can snap your heart in half on contact. She can breathe fire, she can break glass, she can make the lights in the room flicker and dim, and when the day comes that she's standing on some stadium stage somewhere, she'll surely coax a single star to fall from the sky. Until... Read more about this event >>
-
While you might assume that an artisanal wine event called CRUSH will require you to get your feet dirty, rest assured -- it's all polite society at this culinary compendium of wine, cocktails and food. While sampling the wares of vendors like Edible Westside, Maestro Sausage, Savour This Moment, Venice Ale House and Ventana Wines, you get a little blues (The Voice's Orlando Napier), a little... Read more about this event >>
-
As a kid, one of Larry Goldings' first influences was, interestingly, Billy Joel. On the way to becoming the next Piano Man, he discovered jazz and the organ, got the call for Maceo Parker, and became the favorite keyboardist of everyone from chanteuse Madeleine Peyroux to jazz guitarist John Scofield to James Taylor (Goldings was the "One Man" in the latter's One Man Band). Goldings lives... Read more about this event >>
-
The Annenberg Space for Photography's new exhibit, "War/Photography: Images of Armed Conflict and Its Aftermath," spans more than 165 years' worth of images of soldiers, civilians and politicians. Iconic images are featured: soldiers raising the American flag on Iwo Jima, by Joe Rosenthal; V-Day in Times Square, by Alfred Eisenstaedt; a Vietnam POW greeting his family at Travis Air Force...

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 >>
-
Pregnant, suicidal teenager Alex (Elia Saldana) flees an abusive junkie mother and goes in search of her grandmother, a woman she believes to be a powerful shaman. Along the way Alex is assisted by a pair of funky spirit guides who take the shape of feisty, tough-talking grifters: Hopey (Elizabeth Francis) and Maggie (Bianca Lemaire). Alex also holes up at a halfway house for young, ex-con... Read more about this event >>

Google Phil Solomon and you'll get "American experimental filmmaker." Not really helpful. So how about this? Solomon works inside a recognizable cinematic format, using film and digital projection, and sometimes room-filling installations, to pursue an ambitious vision that both celebrates and dismembers what cinema promises. His unique processes include something he calls "re-photography":... Read more about this event >>
-
Human octopus Brian Chippendale, aka Black Pus, is the drummer of noise-rock top dogs Lightning Bolt and Mindflayer, and he's collaborated with the likes of Björk, The Flaming Lips and even Lee "Scratch" Perry. On his solo record All My Relations, just out on Thrill Jockey, Chippendale busts loose 'n' breakneck on drums, drums, more drums and drum-mounted oscillators that create mammoth...

-
It's been two years since the release of Holy Ghost!'s eponymous debut. Often hailed as LCD Soundsystem's heirs, the NYC-based duo's sound falls somewhere between Phoenix's precocious little brothers and MGMT's mischievous second cousins -- if those bands put out records in 1984. Keeping this reference year in mind, Holy Ghost! hosts the Doobie Brothers' Michael McDonald's distinct vocals on... Read more about this event >>
-
You have to walk through Cady Noland's Office Filter, a metal gate with a jacket hanging on one end of it, to get into the second gallery of LACMA's "Ends and Exits" show. There you'll find a yellow tarp across which Keith Haring painted his red, rambunctious characters, and the dress of white gloves artist Lorraine O'Grady made in 1980 and wore when she showed up at art openings reciting...

When novelist George Dawes Green founded the Moth in 1997, it was an attempt to escape the nonstop noise of New York City and re-create the quiet nights of his Georgia youth, where friends would gather on the porch and share stories while moths flittered through the screen door. Sixteen years later, the nonprofit storytelling series isn't so quiet anymore. In addition to hosting live events... Read more about this event >>
-
The Black Angels bring a different musical inspiration into focus on each album. For their latest, Indigo Meadow, that would primarily be The Doors, as "Always Maybe" with its shuddering keys and poetic strain and the crazed organs of "I Hear Colors (Chromaesthesia)" sound like The Black Angels have uncovered some lost Morrison tapes. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Spiritualized are heard in... Read more about this event >>
-
At 16, Laura Marling moved from her Southeast England home to London to join the nu-folk movement. Now 23, the young English folk star sings like she's had a lifetime of experience. Quiet and guarded, Marling doesn't actually fancy bringing up her age but seems comfortable with the woman she is becoming. Her most recent single, "Master Hunter," is bluesy and dark, featuring her signature... Read more about this event >>
-
Photographer Nan Goldin, who studied at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts school and then migrated to New York, living in and photographing the gritty Lower East Side scene in the '70s and '80s, moved to Paris when Bush "stole the election" in 2000. Three years ago, she spent eight months running barefoot around the Louvre and climbing ladders to get close to aging masterpieces on days the museum... Read more about this event >>
-
Arguably the archetypal New Millennium electronic-music act, The Presets are a pair of rather nondescript, classically trained musicians/producers who capture the nocturnal mood of 1980s, New Order-ish synth pop using distinctly house- and trance-era tools. Last year's tricky third album, Pacifica, is a concept-y affair -- something to do with a post-apocalyptic, love-soaked land, the... Read more about this event >>

There are very few genuine mysteries left in our over-developed 21st century, but autism stands as one. The pervasive neurological disorder casts a punishing shadow over an ever-increasing number of families, yet the available science on its cause or the reason for its effects is about as advanced as earthquake prediction. This appearance by the brilliant autistic advocate Temple Grandin... Read more about this event >>
-
Youngblood Hawke has one of those inspiring stories about how we all gotta take some knocks on our way to the top, keep our chins up while we're getting there and maintain the faith that it's all gonna happen, and soon. That A for Attitude aids and abets the L.A. quintet's campaign for world dominance via their debut, Wake Up, a genre-pastiching blast of pop-rock-indie-dance–hip-hop so... Read more about this event >>
-
Let's check in on Laena Geronimo, so named probably because she wouldn't be scared for even a second if she had to parachute from an airplane 8 miles up. It's that kind of free-fall fearlessness she brings to Raw Geronimo, the L.A. band that makes loop-the-loop punk-pop songs bristling with hooks and finely honed dark humor. Geronimo is one of those omnivorous iconoclasts who makes every song... Read more about this event >>
-
At Honor Fraser gallery, artist Kaz Oshiro's bright monochromes do not quite fit the spaces he has chosen for them. One yellow-orange canvas, hung vertically, is taller than the wall, and so it bends onto the ceiling on the top and bends onto the floor on the bottom. Oshiro also has stuck a number of other rectangular paintings into corners, so that the canvas ripples and curls awkwardly. The... Read more about this event >>
-
Disclaimer: The 15th annual Los Angeles Salsa Congress is not about the kind of salsa you eat (Merengue fans: stay home and cry into your pies). Salsa dancing has its roots in '20s Afro-Caribbean culture, and this week will feature troupes from everywhere from Dubai to New York City, all performing across 40,000 square feet of dance floor. There's also a series of motivational workshops and... 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...

In a shrill, flaccid world of candy-ass rock & roll wannabes, venerable Nordic sensations Turbonegro have always stood apart. With an abusively frantic drive, dirty, desperate tone and absurdly negligent lyrical content, the band has long since established itself as a legitimate pox in the steaming arena of reckless underworld shit-stirrers. Despite the fact that original howler Hank von... Read more about this event >>
-
Since it's the dude's birthday, let's use this spot to send Beachwood Sparks' Farmer Dave Scher some well wishes, and maybe some well whiskey, too. Besides his regular gig as sideman to the stars, Ol' F.D. is pretty much the animating spirit and wise --or was that wise-crackin'?-- elder of a certain beautiful part of L.A. music. His sonic ethos is the link between the kind of laid-back,... Read more about this event >>
-
One night in 1923, notoriously hotheaded Surrealist Andre Breton hit the much smaller, less notorious Pierre de Massot with his cane. He did so because de Massot had, in his view, insulted the great Pablo Picasso. Artist Shana Lutker's study of this altercation, and other physical fights among Surrealists, loosely informed "The Bearded Gas," her show at Susanne Vielmetter Projects. But you...

One of the best stand-up shows in L.A., Comedy Palace, takes place every Thursday night in the small roof space of a Chinese restaurant in Los Feliz. Producer Sam Varela has a knack for booking both big-name talents and future rising stars of the alternative stand-up scene. Veteran comics like Maria Bamford and Nick Kroll often test out new material here at the Palace (that's the name of the... Read more about this event >>

Japanese experimental rockers Boris have spent their entire 15-year career making sure that their fans are unable to predict what will come next from the band. One album could consist of thrashing heavy rockers (2011's Heavy Rocks), the next could consist of dreamy, atmospheric, shoegaze-laden pop. (Check Attention Please, also released in 2011.) Psychedelics are pretty much the only constant... Read more about this event >>
-
Talk about larger than life. Chicano singing star Lupillo Rivera, who rose from the absolutely nowheresville Long Beach barrio to conquer the highly charged realm of traditional Mexican corridos (managing it all with an admirable swagger and a set of powerhouse pipes), has survived both a devastating car accident and mysterious volleys of gunfire, yet he's never faltered. Along the way, his... Read more about this event >>
-
Not since The Rolling Stones got their start in the early '60s has a mere cover band made as big an impact as The Detroit Cobras have. Of course, the Stones eventually went on to write their own songs, but the Cobras have zealously stuck to reinterpreting both certified soul classics and R&B obscurities. Guitarist Mary Ramirez doles out her riffs with punky, garage-rock raw power, keeping the... Read more about this event >>
-
"Has anyone ever recoiled when you tried to kiss them?" Alex Segade asks Wu Tsang in Mishima in Mexico, a film the artists made together, in which they play artists planning to make a film based on Yukio Mishima's novel Thirst for Love. Wu Tsang says yes, "but that doesn't mean they weren't into it." Though smoothly and lyrically shot, the film allows for plenty of pettiness and awkward... Read more about this event >>

This year's HempCon features live actions by some of the controlled substance's most uncontrollable creative forces: EPMD, Cypress Hill's DJ Muggs, Cappadonna of Wu-Tang Clan and Redman, among many others. Lest you think this is one big, blacklight orgy of people flapping their arms like chickens on their way to score some M, there also are seminars on how to start a delivery service (just...

Don't call it a festival. Dance Bistro 2013 is more like a feast -- with 13 companies in two (mostly) different programs over two nights. Each show is preceded by video streaming of the dress rehearsals; low-priced tickets should lure dance fans away from the grill Memorial Day weekend. Presented by the TuTu Foundation and Mandarin Orange Performing Arts, both nights promise an aerial... 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...
