Monday January 24th

Jennifer Quiroz @ The Hotel Cafe – Hollywood, CA – $10 – 9pm – 21+

Jennifer is one of my favorite artists to see live. She always brings a lot of energy to her show and has an impeccable ability to connect with her audience. I can’t wait to see Jennifer again and strongly suggest that you check her out if you get the chance.

Wanda Jackson @ El Rey – Los Angeles,CA – 8pm – Sold Out

I had honestly never heard of Wanda Jackson, but after she sold out two nights at the El Rey, she caught my attention. I mean if you sell out two nights at the El Rey, you have to be doing something right.  Even though the show is SOLD OUT, you should show up anyway for a chance to catch Wanda’s sound.  You never know what will happen, but if you don’t come then there’s no chance at all!

Wanda Jackson- Shakin’ All Over

White Lies w/ Giant Drag @ The Troubadour – West Hollywood, CA – 8pm – Sold Out ($20)

I haven’t heard of White Lies before, but Giant Drag has been around town for a minute and always manages to stir up quite a buzz.  Yet another SOLD OUT show on Monday night, but screw it! If you want to go, GO! I am sure there will be tix on the street you just got to hustle.  (But don’t get scalped!)

White Lies – Bigger Than Us

Giant Drag – My Dick Sux

Cold War Kids w/GROUPLOVE   @ The Bootleg Theater – 2220 Beverly Blvd. (Across from Brooklyn Bagel)  – Sold Out ($20) – 9pm

This show is the final show of GROUPLOVE’s January residency at the Bootleg, and they are joined by none other then the Cold War Kids. What a cool show! Both of these bands know how to get down and the combination of the two for this show is incredible. Def try and make this one if you can.  Don’t be scared by the fact this show is SOLD OUT.  I am sure you can find away in if you really try!

Iron and Wine @ The Wiltern – Los Angeles,CA – Sold Out (32.50)

This is the first of two SOLD OUT nights Iron and Wine will be playing at the Wiltern.  These guys are a little too mellow for my taste, but I see the appeal.  The Wiltern will sometimes release tickets at the box office the day of the show, so if you are a fan of these guys, why not give it a go and see if you can get in?

Social Distortion w/The Aggrolites @ The Palladium – Hollywood,CA – Sold Out ($38.50) -  7pm

This is the first of three nights Social D is playing The Hollywood Palladium.  I was never much of a Social Distortion fan, but after I saw them live I was forced to change my mind.  These guys ROCK beyond all comparison.  I am sure their shows at the Palladium will be some of the best of 2011.

I have yet to see Ill Nino, but know they played Ozz Fest a few times – so, they will probably end up destroying the Key Club.  WARNING: This show is not for anyone who has trouble rocking their face off.

Ying Yang Twins @ Key Club – West Hollywood,CA – $22 – 8:30pm – 21+

This show is my HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK! Since the moment this show was announced, I’ve been ecstatic about seeing the Ying Yang Twins.  I got a feeling everyone in the house will be getting crunk at this show.  If you are down to get crunk and are at this show make sure to track us down and say “what’s up.”
