The Week Ahead: July 16-22 Anna Acosta on July 16th, 2012 Share this:Tweet Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email 0 Incoming: Gary Lucas, Frank Ocean, Peter Case, Trash Talk, Amanda Palmer, Adam Lambert, Al Green, Nick 13, Fountains of Wayne, Bloomfest, Ray Davies, Smokey Robinson, Ringo Starr, the Ettes, the Happy Hollows, more. Above: The uncensored, NSFW video for Amanda Palmer’s “Want It Back.” You’ve been warned. The pop provocateur and Kickstarter sensation visits the Roxy Theatre on Thursday; her new album “Theater Is Evil is out Sept. 11. Our staff picks of the week: @KRBronson recommends: Bloomfest, the annual music and arts festival in the downotwn L.A. arts district, features a musical lineup of Superhumanoids, the Neighbourhood, Grace Woodroofe, Helena, Robotanists, Light FM, Yellow Alex & the Feelings, Mike Watt & the Missingmen and more. And it’s free. @Seraphina_L recommends: Al Green and Allen Stone at the Greek Theatre. You can’t lose with this winning combination when it comes to feel-good soul singers. The legendary Al Green will surely bring back the ’70s hits and upcoming talented Allen Stone’s powerhouse falsetto will ring out with just as much conviction. After the jump, the week ahead: Monday, July 16 Gary Lucas at the Echoplex Susanna Hoffs at the Grammy Museum Willie Nelson at the Canyon Club Terraplane Sun, the Mowgli’s, the Janks and Ry Cuming at the Satellite JMSN, Frank+Derol and DWNTWN at the Bootleg Bar American Royalty, Ahh G and zAK-MATIC at the Echo Multitude of Girls, Oak Street Blues, Onwrdupwrd and Morbia Marcano at the Viper Room Darin Bennet & the Requiem and Animal Raps at Los Globos Diesel Dudes and Garland at pehrspace Jason Joseph & the Spectacular, David Ryan Harris, Keaton Simons and Jesse Dee at the Hotel Café Diamonds N Scratch, the Slants, Eyeshine and Canto at the Mint The Milky Way, the Zzyzzx and Jawa at the Central SAPC Steel Panther at the House of Blues Hollywood Gardeners Logic and My Best Fiend at the Detroit Bar Tuesday, July 17 Frank Ocean at the Wiltern Ryan Beatty and Cimorelli at the Roxy Sammy Adams and Radical Something at the House of Blues Hollywood Peter Case at the Grammy Museum Spaceship, the Bixby Knolls and the Diamond Light at the Viper Room Joshua Bell at the Hollywood Bowl Trash Talk at the Echoplex Milo Greene at Amoeba John Daversa Small Group at the Catalina Bar & Grill The Young, Lamps and Zig Zag at the Echo Foxes, Touche and the New Limb at the Bootleg Bar SeanShan at Los Globos Imaginary Cities and Western Haunts at the Hotel Café AutoErotique, Paul Chambers, Precept and Bass Frehley at Dim Mak Studios Herbert Bail Orchestra at Harvard & Stone Michael Kaeshammer at the Mint Harvard Sailing Team at the Largo Blondfire and In the Valley Below at the Central SAPC Wednesday, July 18 Amanda Palmer & the Grand Theft Orchestra at the Roxy Ferraby Lionheart, Line & Circle and Detective at the Bootleg Bar Demi Lovato and Owl City at the Greek Theatre Scotty McCreary and Attwater at the Pacific Amphitheatre The Lions and Peanut Butter Wolf at the Echoplex The Dig at the Silverlake Lounge Boys School, Davis Fetter and Yonaton at the Satellite Bronx Legends at Los Globos Daedelus at Lowe End Theory at the Airliner Jose-Luis Orozco at Levitt Pavilion Pasadena Cathy Heller, Sharaya Mikael, Molly Cottrell and Elijah Ford at the Hotel Café Stanton Moore Trio at the Mint Jonny Craig and Kurt Travis at the Troubadour Rittz and the League of Extraordinary Gz at the Viper Room Gingger Shankar and Willie Watson at the Largo The Gods of Greed, LA Death Dolls, Venison, Damaged Kids and Piracy at the Central SAPC Graham Harper at Saint Rocke (Happy Hour) James Clay Garrison at Saint Rocke The Fixx, the Reflexx and Hyena Motorcade at the Coach House Thursday, July 19 Al Green and Allen Stone at the Greek Theatre Coco Morier at Pershing Square Adam Lambert at the Pacific Amphitheatre Gavyn Bailey, Purdue Avenue, Heaps n Heaps, Bg5 and Redline Chemis at the Roxy Hibernation Index, Rue and Engine Room at the Roxy: On the Rox Il Divo at the Nokia Theatre London Cries and So & So at the Viper Room Joshua Bell at the Hollywood Bowl Missy Higgins and Butterfly Boucher at the Troubadour Shabazz Palaces, Gonjasufi, Ras G and Mardi Gras Gala at the Echoplex Red Store Bums and Rudo Movimiento at the House of Blues Hollywood The Dwarves, the Meteors and Tod Harpers Heartbreak Express at the Constellation Room Quilt and Young Magic at the Echo Jerry Garcia Band and Melvin Seals at the Canyon Club Ledisi and Eric Benet at Club Nokia “Ladies Play the Blues” at the Joint Big Time Rush and Rachel Crow at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre Bart B More at the Yost Theater Hello Vegas, Of Verona, the Active Set and Tic Tic Boom! at the Bootleg Bar Coco Morier at Pershing Square Ides of Gemini, VUM and Dead Dawn at El Cid Kevin Litrow and Peaking Lights at the Virgil Bobby Long, Naia Kete, Jen Hirsh, Wake Owl and the Mighty Sequoyah at the Hotel Café Jennifer Milan, Emblem3, Jassarae and Lexa Raquel at the Mint Brandon Thomas, the Eagle and the Arrow and Brian Burn at the Hard Rock Café Hollywood The Fixx and Intensity at Brixton South Bay Burkhart Band at the House of Blues Anaheim Lngwknd at the Del Monte Speakeasy Dane Drewis at Saint Rocke (Happy Hour) Young Dubliners, Hoist the Colors and the Mighty Regis at Saint Rocke The Spell, Man the Station, the Rubber Band and Mayday!
