New Year's Eve Options

Autolux Play the Little Radio Warehouse

Tons of party options. Is New Year's Eve the ultimate amateur night? or a good time? I can guarantee I wouldn't get my money's worth at some of these events.

New Year's Eve Pick:

Dead Meadow / Autolux @ Little Radio Warehouse ($50) – Tickets are almost sold out for this one. Admission gets you drinks, so it’s not as expensive as it looks.

Also Appearing:

Chavez @ Spaceland ($20) – Celebrated indie guitar band fronted by Matt Sweeney. Matador released a career retrospective this year.

The Flaming Lips / Gnarls Barkley / Cat Power @ USC Galen Center ($55) – The Flaming Lips would be at the top of my most disappointing albums and concerts list for 2006. Hopefully you’re less cynical than I and you can still enjoy them.
The Killers @ Gridlock LA at Paramount Studios ($125) – This sounds like my worst nightmare. I don’t even hate the Killers, but this just sounds like a nightmare.
The Ringers / Valient Thorr @ Viper Room ($30) – Rock’n’roll fans.
Mickey Avalon @ the Roxy ($30) – Great place to pick up underage girls.
Very Be Careful @ Safari Sam’s ($15)
Erykah Badu @ House of Blues ($125) – Believe it or not, I saw Badu once back in 1997.
8-Bit / Bodies of Water / The Mormons @ Mr. T’s ($5) – Cheap entertainment for the Highland Park crowd.
Pop Levi @ the Echo ($5)
Breakestra @ Zanzibar ($40) – For the Stones Throw crowd.
The Sounds @ Hollywood Roosevelt ($80)
