The end? Not so fast:

‣ Black Rebel Motorcycle Club previews material from its forthcoming sixth album at a cozy show at the Troubadour. Restavrant opens.
‣ Rufus and Martha Wainwright do a big Christmas show at UCLA’s Royce Hall, with special guests Emmylou Harris, Van Dyke Parks and Carrie Fisher.
‣ Dillon Francis does the first of two sold-out nights at the El Rey Theatre.
‣ It’s “X-mas 2012” with X at the Fonda Theatre with the iconic punk band’s original lineup.
‣ And in honor of the end of times, a pocket opera by composer/producer Lewis Pesacov (Fool’s Gold, et al) will receive a one-time-only performance at the Philosophical Research Society (3910 Los Feliz Blvd.). “The Edge of Forever” features libretto Elizabeth Cline, with music performed by Christopher Roundtree’s ensemble Wild Up.
