ATTENTION BANDS: If you're on this list and want to make sure that LA Weekly hits your gig and covers it and buys you a drink and bogarts your joint, CONTACT US! We're planning on keeping a very up-to-date listing of parties and events and performances, so shoot us an email with your whereabouts, etc. We'd love to shoot your band, give you press, bogart your joint. Also, if you haven't sent us your most recent release, swing it by the offices, drop it in the mail or send us a few MP3s (except for Ice Cube; we've already got all your stuff). (Oh, and: ICE CUBE'S PERFORMING???)
