"Go See A Show!" Your Guide To LA's Best Live Music This Week

Wednesday, January 25

Skrillex, Diplo, 12th Planet at Echoplex As a monthly dance party survey of the best in various forms of dance music, Check Yo Ponytail 2 has brought us more than its fair share of entertaining nights and impressive acts. But Wednesday's show, which will be the second of back-to-back CYP2 nights at the Echoplex (Tuesday's show will feature emerging rapper Danny Brown), boasts a lineup that's sold out arenas: world-class dance music producers/DJs and Grammy nominees Skrillex, Diplo, and 12th Planet. Now, we know we've had less than complementary things to say about dubstep from time to time, but there's obviously a big difference between the big names and their imitators, and Skrillex is the biggest name there is. There aren't too many chances anymore to see a lineup like this in a fun, casual venue like the Echoplex, so if you're into it, do what it takes to get there. [Details and Ticket Info] [via]
