Free/cheap live music in LA?

check out The Mountain Bar in LA http://www.themountainbar.com/ They have great live music there. Lots of new bands.

‘Tis not the season. This site will have the schedule up in April. They usually start in May.

Here is another list of sources.

DEREK CARTER!! best singer/ songwriter in LA (and very unknown)

If you like things on the weirder side The CIA in North Hollywood is a good place to go, it’s usually $10 at the door. I also like Safari Sam’s although their prices vary by show. They just moved downtown so there site isn’t up to date right now.

spaceland and the echo are the quintessential spots for the up-and-coming bands to play. a lot of hot indie bands played before they made it, and a fair number of them come back after they’re famous. look at clubspaceland.com and attheecho.com for deets—look for free shows on monday nights and especially “residencies”.
