Advance Notice. Dawes at Saturdays Off the 405.

It's July 1--a perfect time to start planning some fun summer events to attend in Los Angeles. The Saturdays Off the 405 series kicks off on July 10 at the Getty Center with Dawes. This is a band whose maturity and talent beyond their years is continually impressive.

Their debut album, North Hills, came out last summer, and has a couple songs on it that I listen to at least twice in a row when they come on my iPod (That Western Skyline, When You Call My Name).

The concert is in the museum courtyard from 6 - 9 p.m., and parking is free after 5--but the concert is also free, and first-come-first-served, so arriving before 5 to beat the 'free parking' rush might be a wise idea if you want to guarantee entrance (and a Saturday night of truly good music).

Saturday July 10 at 6:00 p.m.

The Getty Center is located at 1200 Getty Center Drive in Los Angeles.
