***Recommended Show of the Week***
Violent Femmes @ Amoeba
I had to double-check this listing to make sure it wasn’t a cover band going for some cute but easily confusing play on the original’s name. Like Virulent Femmes or Violet Ferns or Violent Phlegm. Nope, it’s them. Get there early.

Damn, you should have kept the V. Femmes free gig on the D-L. I was thinking of skipping out of work early to make it. But now the vast Losanjealous readership will surely crowd the scene. The Like is the other pick for tonight. Heard a few tunes off the LP and they’re pretty damn good. For some 19 year old girls.
[...] If you’re not in the mood or don’t have the time to trek crosstown to catch super diamond’s free set at the pier this eve, stay close to downtown to watch dj cheb i sabbah spin it up at the japanese american national museum. Should be a good show and a fun crowdt: For this concert, Chebiji will be joined by some of LA’s finest Maghrebi musicians and dancers. [...]
