It feels like we're being rewarded tonight for a rough week of politics, sports news, and weather. The Music Box is going to be hopping with the return of Ozomatli. Blending Latin rhythms with hip-hop, rock, and even a little reggae for good measure, these veterans have been shaking booties for over two decades. Meanwhile, pop-punk legends MxPx who hail from Washington but very much fall in line with the SoCal surf/skate vibe, make an appearance at The Observatory North Park. Our friends the Creepy Creeps play a special Friday show at Bar Pink, the Little Richards appear with punk legend Alice Bag Band at Casbah, and Le Chateau bring the dance party to Soda Bar.
