Losanjealous Concert Picks: May 22 - 28

By Ron - Monday May 22nd 2006

Visit our concert calendar for a full show list, links to buy tickets and our top picks.

brainfreeze PICK OF THE WEEK: Jurassic 5, Dilated Peoples, DJ Shadow, Cut Chemist, Supernatural, Beat Junkies, Madlib, MF Doom @ Mayan
The $75 ticket price is hard to swallow, I hear ya. But 100% of proceeds from this show will go towards Keith Tamashiro’s medical expenses and rehabilitation. And if you go I guarantee good Radiohead ticket karma–you’ll need it.

You forgot Sweet & Tender Hooligans tonight 5/22 at the HOB for Morrissey’s birthday!
Oscar : 5/22/06 at 12:58 pm

You forgot Radiohead goes on sale this week!
sasha : 5/22/06 at 3:47 pm

Elefant will be a good show on Friday!!!!
V : 5/22/06 at 4:04 pm

Sasha, tell us how Voxtrot are if you get there in time.

It’s every man, woman and child for themselves when it comes to Radiohead tix, Oscar. Hope you have a strategy in place. Good luck.

isn’t tito puente dead?
F-A : 5/23/06 at 12:20 am

i heard the radiohead ticket sale was moved to saturday….
Ron : 5/23/06 at 6:51 am

Diego–I can’t in good faith list tribute bands. Unless of course we’re talking about Tiny or Mini KISS.
Oscar : 5/23/06 at 12:14 pm

It’s on lockdown V. No worries here!
Oscar : 5/23/06 at 12:18 pm

F-A,

Sorry, it’s still work/school ditching time if you want Radiohead. Sale for both dates still on Thursday.
mexamatosis : 5/23/06 at 3:26 pm

you forgot slutdonna

will i live to tell or will it burn inside of me
Ron : 5/24/06 at 1:46 am

Mexamatosis–we have a robust algorithm to calculate who makes the calendar. Factors include musical ability, showmanship, venue, artist selloutedness, relevance and buzz. The numbers just weren’t there for Madonna.
Ron : 5/24/06 at 2:18 am

Thanks to f-a for the heads up on camera obscura at the troubadour onsale thursday
f-a : 5/24/06 at 10:17 am

also pogues at the wiltern on sale tomorrow same time as radiohead…
Oscar : 5/25/06 at 2:14 pm

Got Radiohead Thursday! Section C. Better than nothing and paying scalper prices. My friend tried at the exact same time for Friday, no dice. Any luck V?
Oscar : 5/25/06 at 2:15 pm

I’m going to the benefit show tonight! Karma does work =) See ya there!
V : 5/25/06 at 4:32 pm

Oscar– No luck here on Radiohead tix. I snoozed and I loosed. I have a sneaking suspicion something is going to happen quietly on their WASTE ticket site at some point in the next few days…
Ron : 5/26/06 at 1:09 am

THE ORACLE HAS SPOKEN. V, I bet you didn’t purchase tickets to the Keith Tamashiro benefit show.
Oscar : 5/26/06 at 10:46 am

Went to the Keith Tamashiro benefit. Show was awesome! MF Doom & Mad Lib cancelled though….
The goodie bags were cool!
