To Do: Your Weekend Battle Plan
Friday
· Artist Albert Reyes celebrates his latest exhibit with an opening tonight at the Black Market LA. We're intrigued: Flavorpill says he uses "images of Ronald McDonald with a posse of ladies and Michael Jackson giving us the finger." Good enough to get a nod from us!
· Brooklyn invades the eastside as dance-punk stalwarts Radio 4 play the Echo. They needn't worry, their thrift-store t-shirts will still play on this coast.
Saturday
· The very appropriately named ArtNights at 18th Street series features free art at the 18th Street Arts Center...at night. Some culture without cover charge wouldn't kill you, you know.
· DJ Sasha (of Sasha and Digweed fame) ditches vinyl for some fancy, digital music controller at his Avalon residency. We're sure his ability to induce booty-shaking will not be compromised by the encroachment of technology.
Sunday
· Fresh off a show during Sundance, Kings of Leon abandon the mountains for the comfort of the Sunset Strip.
· Give your mind a workout at Mental Yoga at Bergamot Station. Don't worry, we're pretty sure they're not going to go all Bikram on you and make your brain sweat.
