BUY TICKETS: Be:First at The Novo (8:00pm)

Let's keep the week going, Scenestar readers. It's Los Angeles, so there's almost always something for everyone, including our pick for Show of the Night: Be: First! The seven-member dance and vocal group from Japan will be headlining a show tonight in Downtown Los Angeles when they play at The Novo as part of their first-ever world tour. The Los Angeles tour date is in support of their latest album release, 2:BE.

Suppose you can't get into our Show of the Night. In that case, your other live music options include performances by The Album Leaf, Lauren Amour, Felipe Esparza, Kat French, Just B, Memphis May Fire, Kevin Nealon, Patton Oswalt, Andrew Pekler, Craig Robinson, David Spade, Zach Templar, Reverend Baron, Steel Wool, Luisa Vox, and many more.
