Megan Sutherland's Los Angeles Weekend Event Picks
Finally back in the groove and fully recovered from my two week Palm Springs shenanigans and feeling rather refreshed. After seeing my boy Blood Orange and UK faves Disclosure joined with miss Mary J. Blige at Coachella, then “only” legendary Pete Tong destroying a Rhonda pool party! You can say I’m beyond satisfied with visions of palm trees and Blood Moons on the brain. Just because I got my fix of tunes in the desert, doesn’t mean I’m not craving more this weekend. Here is the menu of music to my ears beginning tonight!
