Launchpad runs late and the crowd tends to arrive late too, so the early slots on a bill like this are where you catch something before everyone else figures it out. Tickets are...

    Four local and regional heavy bands stack a Friday night at the Mezzanine, which sits above El Rey's main floor and runs tighter and louder than most rooms its size.

    Mr. AfterHours Presents drops DANSYN into Effex for a WHF 360° night, which means the production gets the full room treatment rather than a stage-and-crowd setup. Effex runs late and the crowd arrives later, so if you show up before midnight you will be standing in a very different room than the one this is...

    Vohn Vocs takes the stage at Sawmill Market for a Saturday evening set inside one of the corridor's more reliably pleasant food-hall environments.
