Let's dive right into on sales this week:

Indie rockers Clap Your Hands Say Yeah will be playing a show at the El Rey Theatre on Saturday, May 19. Tickets went on sale today and are going for $22.

Chevelle will be performing at Club Nokia on Wednesday, April 25. Tickets go on sale 3/9 and range from $26-31.25.

Curren$y will be playing at The Music Box on Tuesday, May 1 as part of the Jet Life 2012 Tour. Opening acts include THE JETS, Smoke DZA, Fiend 4 Da Money, Corner Boy P, Trademark, and Young Roddy. If you've never heard of any of them it probably sounds like I just made all those names up, but I promise you I didn't. Tickets go on sale 3/9.

German heavy metal band Scorpions are gonna rock Staples Center like a hurricane on Friday, June 22. Hard to believe these guys have been around since 1965! This may be your final time to see them though as they plan on retiring when their current tour ends next year. Tickets go on sale 3/9 and will cost $49.50-$99.50.

British indie rockers The Wombats are taking their tour to the El Rey Theatre on Thursday, May 8. Tickets go on sale 3/10 for a mere $22.

For those on a budget, Cass McCombs is coming to the El Rey Theatre on Saturday, June 2. Tickets go on sale 3/10 for a meager $18.

For fans of americana, Justin Townes Earle will be playing the El Rey Theatre on Thursday, June 28. Tickets go on sale 3/10 and will cost $20.

After playing at the Grammy's and then announcing that they'll be headlining Bonnaroo this year, The Beach Boys would be disavowed if they went without performing in southern California this year. They'll be taking their talents to the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine on Sunday, June 3. Tickets go on sale 3/12 and will cost $19.50-$89.50.

Indie pop duo Best Coast will be playing the Wiltern on Friday, May 18. Tickets go on sale 3/9 and will cost $17.50-$22.50.











And finally, for those of you who were unable to score Coachella tickets, a bit of luck may be coming your way. In the past, bands playing Coachella were bound by contract to not play any shows in the Los Angeles area 3 months before or after the festival. However, since Coachella has expanded to 2 weekends consisting of the same lineup this year, Goldenvoice has apparently relented and allowed the its performers to play sideshow gigs in the area so it doesn't affect their touring profits! Since it'd take too long to post each individual show, I'll just re-post a nifty calendar that Goldenvoice created and you can look up ticket prices yourselves. THESE SHOWS WILL SELL OUT FAST!
