Los Angeles This Weekend Is Insane: Pretty Girls, Arctic Monkeys, Birdmonster, WAS, Liars, Danielson..

ECHO PARK LAKE & DOWNTOWN LA There are weekends I love living in Los Angeles. Those are usually the ones where all I do is go for a hike, drink iced coffee at Masa, and do a bit of vintage shopping. Then there are weekends where I frickin' LOVE/HATE Los Angeles. This weekend would be one of those.. INSANE AMOUNT OF AMAZING SHOWS TO SEE!!! How The Hell Am I Going To Choose!?!?!?! This weekend features the most jam packed show schedule I have ever seen in LA for a three day period. You would think there was a music festival in town...but no. Stopping off in Los Angeles in the next three days: Arctic Monkeys, We Are Scientists, Pretty Girls Make Graves, Giant Drag, Liars, Danielson, Boy Least Likely To, Kool Keith, and Birdmonster.
