LA Babies know that the weekend starts on Thursday night, and as we round the corner into spring there are many events that an Angeleno into the nightlife should pay attention to. So without further ado…
HIGH END STEREO: Our brother and friend, DJ A-Ski has been hard at work with his Monday and Tuesday events, and has now added a Thursday night for our listening pleasure. Taking place at Naya Sunset, High End Stereo will give you A-Ski on the ones and twos spinning soulful house, lounge, afro latin, funk and dance rhythms well into the night. Happy hour is from 6-8 with complimentary modern Indian appetizers from 9-10. This event has no cover and will rock your body until 2 in the morning. Hit up A-Ski for birthdays and special events!

JIM KELLY: My usual Thursday night stomping ground is the Jim Kelly event with my buddy Garth Trinidad at the helm. Trinidad, along with Mateo Senolia and Kawai Matthews, have crafted a one-of-a-kind event that you have to see to believe. I could say a lot about JK, but it is best you see for yourself what happens behind the wooden door. Be prepared to unleash your inner freak, let your guard down, and get into some good vibes and great music. Catch this event while you can as it is a limited engagement. If you are looking for current radio hits and top 40, this event is NOT for you. Jim Kelly takes place at the infamous R Bar in Koreatown and entry is by password only. That’s right – get the password.

CHURCH: Tonight I’m taking a break from my usual spot to visit a once a month shindig called Church. Hosted by my friend Nia Andrews and her soon to be hubby Mark de Clive-Lowe, Church has quickly gained a reputation as the top body rock spot in Los Angeles. Church only happens every fourth Thursday of the month so catch it while it is here. Nia and Mark create their own vibe as a duo, but you never know what other music notables might grace the stage with them. Church happens at the Del Monte Speakeasy in Venice from 9 -1 and the entry fee is $5 before 10 and $7 after. I’ll see you there tonight!
