Perhaps the poppy zenith of the post-hardcore genre to date, Pierce the Veil are what fellow San Diegans Blink-182 might have sounded like had they formed 15 years later. The quartet's third full-length, last year's shockingly consistent Collide With the Sky, reveled in some noodly guitars and metalcore-ish rhythmic motifs and changes of pace but was essentially about Vic Fuentes' seemingly...

The 2,000-year-old man is a couple of decades older now, but he's still as funny and sharp as ever. Tonight, the Paley Center screens American Masters' Mel Brooks: Make a Noise (airs on PBS May 20), a tribute to comedy's greatest mensch, who gave us The Producers, Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein, and was responsible for Broadway's biggest revitalization since Andrew Lloyd Weber. Robert... Read more about this event >> -

"I'm a stupid whore and a frigid bitch," Kate Nash declares on her latest album, Girl Talk. "Now you can make up your mind and tell me which is which." Anyone who thinks the English singer is a mindless pop diva obviously hasn't been paying attention to Nash's changes over the past six years. She still coos giddy, romantic pop tunes like "O My God!," but she also uses her sharp wit to defy... 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 >> -
Playwright Sarah Ruhl's melancholy and slightly surreal drama is a whimsical take on the classic Greek myth of Orpheus, the divinely inspired musician who defied nature and descended into Hades to retrieve his slain wife. This exciting modern interpretation shifts the emphasis throughout the story from Orpheus (an impassioned, romantic Graham Sibley) to Eurydice (a beautiful naif, Jules...

San Diego electronic-dance duo Okapi Sun describe their music as "a cut-and-paste of our past, our now, our culture, our soul. We decorate ourselves with sounds and let them form into songs." To put it more simply, guitarist Leo and keyboardist Dallas lay down catchy dance grooves and blend their vocals on deliriously giddy pop songs like "Sidewalk," coming off a little like a postmodern...

There are no women on Rhye's debut album, Woman. If you mistakenly took Michael Milosh's androgynous voice for that of a female, however, you would not be alone. The soulchild of Milosh and Quadron's Robin Hannibal, Rhye has been dubbed the "electronic Sade." And like much of Sade's musical canon, Woman is a surefire pantydropper. Really, "seductive" is an understatement for the simmering,... Read more about this event >> -
Eager to learn how to shorty-George, toe-heel-swivel, toss across and drop boogie but don't care for the gender trappings that typically accompany swing dancing? Well, hop into your 1947 Chevy Fleetline and cruise on down to Pehrspace, where you can pick up some pointers from Effie Ralli's Rock-Step at the Mid-¢ Shake: A Queer Sock-hop (II). Upon her recent move to Los Angeles from the... 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...

Ten years might seem like a lifetime for anyone to be involved in any lifestyle, much less one involving whips, chains and the occasional golden shower, but the 10th annual DomCon L.A. proves that BDSM is still as much fun as ever. Mistress Cyan, a Pro Domme since 1996, has lent her considerable acumen to producing the convention all this time, in the process crafting an exhaustive event that... Read more about this event >> -
Playwright George Tabori assembled a huge master script -- too massive for inclusion in any one production -- of materials collected from the works of Bertolt Brecht. Directors are urged to make their own selection from the myriad pieces, which include poems, songs, scenes and transcripts of Brecht's wily testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee. This production is selected... Read more about this event >> -
Over the past two years, NYC-based trombonist Alan Ferber has presented some of L.A.'s truly outstanding large-group jazz shows. Ferber's originals and arrangements are exciting enough to enlist the who's who of the area's best players, and they keep coming back for more. Tonight, pianist Josh Nelson and guitarist Anthony Wilson drive the rhythm section, while horn standouts include John... Read more about this event >> - More Friday Events >>

Best known as the frontman for My Morning Jacket, Jim James has gone solo for his recent LP Regions of Light and Sound of God. Inspired by Lynd Ward's 1929 graphic novel, God's Man James describes the album as a musical portrait of the novel as well as the product of his own introspection. The diversity in songwriting and overall sound on Regions of Light... is just as varied as with My... Read more about this event >> -
Considering that Marina Diamandis claims to be influenced by such adventurous musicians as Kate Bush, Patti Smith and Daniel Johnston, it's a little surprising that her own music is so slick and commercial. On shiny dance tracks like "Primadonna" and "How to Be a Heartbreaker," the Welsh singer comes off like any other ambitious synth-pop Material Girl, conflating love, lust, ambition and...

After years of drawing audiences to L.A.'s historic jails, abandoned underground streetcar facilities and operating laundromats, Heidi Duckler and her entourage of dancers, actors, writers and musicians have a set of vintage wheels to aid in their travels around SoCal. Dubbed the "Duck Truck," the 1960s Oasis trailer has become the stage for Heidi Duckler Dance Theatre's most recent... Read more about this event >> -
Often credited as the world's first female dancehall deejay, Sister Nancy (née Ophlin Russell-Myers) has been an integral and beloved part of Jamaica's dancehall scene for more than 20 years. Her 1982 single "Bam Bam," sampled by such American hip-hop heavyweights as Lauryn Hill and Too $hort, is an internationally revered classic. In 2007, Sister Nancy released her second album,...

Thanks to the mainstreaming of street art, it's easy to lose sight of the earlier generation of global pioneers who laid the movement's foundations. Studio City's Fabien Castanier Gallery is aiming to fix that, presenting French urban-art icon Speedy Graphito in his second show with the gallery -- and his first as an official, newly minted American. Despite having three decades of... Read more about this event >> -
Artist Shinique Smith traveled from New York to Los Angeles a few times this winter and spring 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... Read more about this event >> -
During the mid 1930s, the Federal Writers' Project, at the request of President Franklin Roosevelt, undertook an extensive gathering of oral histories from former slaves about their lives. It is these voices from an ugly past that are the material for James de Jongh's stirring 1977 docudrama Do Lord Remember Me. Characters from the not-so-gallant South include the pitiless overseer; the... Read more about this event >> -
Can't get enough of the zombie craze? Get your dose of gory goodness with the Zombie Fashion Show and Creature Art Exhibit, an event that brings together not just zombiephiles but also art lovers, makeup artists and fashionistas. Tom Kirlin, also the brains behind the Pancakes & Booze Art Show, didn't realize this event would gain such traction -- until almost 1,000 people joined the fun last...

At her show last summer at the Bootleg Theater, Chrysta Bell conjured her dreamy incantations while a nonstop blur of lost highways, blue oceans and flickering Milky Ways of light was projected on the wall behind her. Cocking her head enigmatically as she caught the spotlight and twisting her arms languidly into serpentine shapes, the singer was a mesmerizing performer, often closing her eyes...

Always the butt of panty-flinging gags but rarely accorded the respect he has long since earned, Tom Jones' two-night stand at the tiny, venerable Troub is as exciting and unlikely an opportunity as the recent Stones show at the Echoplex. The leather-lunged lad from Pontypridd, Wales, is a deeply talented vocalist whose style remains a supercharged thunderball of charm, warmth and soulful,... Read more about this event >> -
If your mom is more into writers and bars than flowers and omelettes, then we have the perfect Mother's Day idea for you. (Of course, if you have an early-rising, brunchy mom, you can still use this idea for your own cocktails-and-culture decompression purposes later in the day.) The New Short Fiction Series celebrates 10 years of second Sundays this weekend with a big anniversary shindig --... Read more about this event >> -
When artists celebrate the first big museum survey of their career, it's an opportunity to regard the entire sweep of their creative evolution. Seeing early works along with curious side projects, sketches, photographs and other work-process materials lends a deep level of insight, taking the event beyond the already exciting gathering of the comprehensive oeuvre. But Gary Baseman is not... 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 >> - More Sunday Events >>

This year's Best of PlayGround-L.A. is a distillation of the best short plays selected from more than 100 submissions and 36 works developed as part of the Zephyr Theater's Monday Night PlayGround staged reading series. The six finalists include works of tragedy-made-comedy ("Romeo and Jules" by Ron Burch), gender and identity ("Pinocchia" by Kathleen Cecchin), serial-killer whimsy ("The Kid...

Torches are an L.A. band (the band that was once Torches in Trees, if your indie rock database needs an update) who've submerged themselves completely in the same kind of anthemic, happy-sad music that put The Shins and Yo La Tengo in permanent teenage-mixtape rotation. Oh, and in that category let's not forget Arcade Fire. In fact, what about booking a string section and devoting this... Read more about this event >> -
Stephen Prina's show at LACMA, called "As He Remembered It," is full of built-ins -- built-in bookshelves, closets, cabinets, counters. Prina had these made to replicate built-ins from houses built by architect R.M. Schindler in the 1930s. This means they have a spare, midcentury refinement to them -- or, rather, you can imagine that they would have if Prina hadn't severed them from the rooms...

When U.K. hard-rock paragons Motorhead released their first single (titled, believe it or not, "Motorhead") in the spring of 1977, it was a sheer, devastating blast of untamed rock & roll epiphany. Go back and drop the needle on that one -- it's a bone-rattling, mad-dog howling slab of high, amphetamine sulphate–fueled adventure that is still nothing less than flabbergasting, and so...

In country music, the "girl singer" has always faced an uphill climb. And when she steps out of line -- as with Loretta Lynn's 1975 contraceptive-celebrating "The Pill," which was banned from the airwaves coast to coast, or Carlene Carter's infamous, career-crippling declaration, "I'm going to put the 'cunt' back in country"-- the degree of retaliation is always on the heavy-handed,...

The Egg cracks open with chipper electronic dance music on new songs like "Catch," which fuses sotto-voce singing, new-wave keyboards, funky guitars and techno rhythms into a brand-new form of catchy house music. On the title track of their recent album, Something to Do, the British band shifts into a hypnotic idyll replete with laid-back crooning, sparkling alt-rock guitars and incandescent...

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...

It usually takes years of hard failure to become an overnight success -- comedian Marc Maron discusses that and more with director Judd Apatow in an evening that covers everything from his garage-recorded WTF podcast's cavalcade of comedians to the reason Jon Stewart won't appear on his show. It's actually a fairly good time to be Marc Maron: his cat-fanciful, drug-fueled, divorce-obsessed... Read more about this event >> -
Eastside singer-songwriter Duniven boasts at least two things that set him apart in that overpopulated field: an authentically roots-rusty voicebox and bona fide songwriting skills. His folky pop-rock resides firmly in a roots-Americana mold, recalling most obviously the hooky rock & roll of Tom Petty. Better yet is that he serves it all up with a Dylanesque style of taking folk-based forms... Read more about this event >> -
One imperfectly painted silver canvas with tie-dyed pink cloth loosely attached to its surface angles across another silver canvas in the basement of Charlie James Gallery. The middles of both canvases are cut open to reveal unsubstantial wood supports beneath. Artist William Powhida calls this kind of art "Informalism," as the note -- or rather, the realistic rendering of a note drawn on a... Read more about this event >>
