#78: L.A. is the music capital of the world. It's where all the big studios are, almost every famous musician lives here, there are major concerts every night of the week. BUT, with huge price tags for concerts these days (and soaring ticketing platform fees...) it can feel hard to find places to see live music that are actually accessible (i.e. free or cheap). 

Today, HTLA producers Evan Jacoby and Megan Botel take you to a few spots around town where you can see live music without breaking the bank. 



The Venice West is a restaurant, bar and music venue in Venice. Hear all genres of live music, Tuesday - Sunday nights. Check out the show calendar and buy tickets here. 

The Smell is an all-ages punk venue in Downtown LA with shows most nights of the week. All shows are $5. Check show calendar here. 

Industry Cafe and Jazz is an Ethiopian restaurant and Jazz lounge in Culver City. Open with live Jazz bands Wednesday - Sunday, sets at 6:30pm and 8pm.

How to L.A. aims to drop a little knowledge about ALL the things that affect the people of Los Angeles, whether that’s something that makes our city great (tacos!) or something that we need to work on, like the alarming number of traffic collisions. We serve the curious Angeleno who wants to better connect with our city, discover the new, navigate the confusing and even drive some change along the way.
