This is your sneak preview of events and shows happening in Los Angeles for the upcoming week! No FOMO, no problem.
I’m sick of people telling me, “Omg, I wish I knew about this, I would have gone!” My motto is to live in the moment and don’t let any opportunities slip. FOMO means “fear of missing out,” and I’m an avid sufferer. My solution? DON’T MISS THE EVENT.
Los Angeles is the city where people flock to chase their dreams, make something of themselves, and display their unique talents. With that comes an endless array of options, from live music to art to exclusive industry events to movies to all things cannabis (our favorite), and it’s up to you to join in on the festivities.
I live by the “you can sleep when you’re dead” mantra. Come explore the best California has to offer with me and let’s live life to the fullest.
Each event is ranked 1 to 5 on their respective resistance to weed with 1 being the most difficult to sneak your stash in with you. Yes, we acknowledge public consumption is not allowed. But if you’ve ever gone to a concert, you know it’s around regardless so we’re trying to help you be discreet about it if you’re going to join that crowd.

GTA @ The Echoplex
GTA has not one, not two, but THREE back-to-back shows at The Echoplex. Comprised of two DJs from Miami, GTA is known to tear down the stage, blending the genres of house, trap, and hip-hop into their own unique style. Each night will be themed around one of three distinct colors for the specific genres GTA will be curating.
This is a call to action for the Good Times Ahead! Night one1 is yellow for Moombah.

J Boog @ The Novo
“Let’s Do It Again” by J Boog is one of my favorite reggae songs of all time. Come see the king of reggae take over The Novo in his hometown. Saturday night was meant for J Boog and his good vibes! Bob Marley would be proud..

Smooky MarGielaa @ The Roxy
15-years-old and performing at The Roxy? Holy shit. Hailing from the Bronx, New York, word on the street says Smooky MarGielaa is up next. At least he’ll always “Stay100.”

April Fool’s Gold Day @ Secret Location
A-Trak and his Fool’s Gold team are teaming up with notorious party series Brownies & Lemonade to throw an epic Sunday night bash. You’ll have to RSVP to get into this super mysterious shindig with secret guest performers and other surprises, but it’s free before 10 p.m. if you can get yourself inside early. The Fool’s Gold guy on the flyer is holding a joint, so we’re guessing it’s weed-friendly.

GTA @ The Echoplex
Let the good times roll. Night three is red for Rap, Trap and Bass (my favorite).

James Fauntleroy @ The Roxy
Inglewood’s finest. From singing to songwriting to producing, James Edward Fauntleroy II is a triple threat. With credits from Justin Timberlake to Frank Ocean to Beyonce, James is ready to prove he can do it all. No better way to end (or start) the week than with some music for the soul.
Deadmau5 @ The Wiltern
Just last week, the tracklist for deadmau5′ highly anticipated full orchestral album where’s the drop? was revealed. Now, fans get to witness it live! Presented by TIDAL, this show will be backed by a full orchestra. This is what I like to call EDM heaven!

Pussy Riot @ The Echo
Back by popular demand, Pussy Riot returns to The Echo for their third night of sold-out shows. Comprised of 10-plus females, this Russian feminist protest punk rock group will definitely not disappoint. Moral of the story: Make America Rock Again.

Marc E. Bassy @ El Rey
Marc E. Bassy is one of the best R&B singers to come out of the Bay Area (@ me). His collabs with G-Eazy are my favorite (“Some Kind Of Drug” and “You & Me”). His voice can move mountains, come see for yourself!
