Advance Notice. Get to the Greek for Florence + The Machine.

Florence and the Machine is a band I'd like to get more into, so I'm thinking of going to this show even though it's on a Monday night.

Hailing from England (land of historically good music), they're steadily gaining popularity here in the states. With a Spin magazine cover (for Artist of the Year) and a 'Best New Artist' 2011 Grammy nomination already under their belt, they're clearly heading toward great success.

Tomorrow morning at 10:00 a.m. tickets go on sale (through ticketmaster, $35) for their Monday June 13 show at the Greek Theatre.

Mid-June should be lovely for an outdoor concert in Los Feliz.

Advance Notice. Paul McCartney at the Hollywood Bowl.

Seeing Paul McCartney perform in the beautiful, open air of Coachella last year was an unforgettable experience, to say in the least. Believe me, the sir can still rock it, and if you have any interest in Macca, the Beatles, or just simply music itself, seeing this man perform live is something that just needs to be done in a lifetime.

Don't miss your next chance when McCartney hits the Hollywood Bowl (a can't-miss experience in and of itself) on March 30th. The public onsale begins this Sunday at 10am, but Fan Club members and American Express users can get their tickets today at 10am. And try to control yourself.

Advance Notice. Ricky Gervais.

Ricky Gervais is seriously hilarious. I don't know how many times I've watched him on BBC's The Office and rewinded the DVDs to catch snippets of his genius humor again (and again). His films and HBO comedy special have been great post-Office treats, and now he's hosting the 2010 Golden Globes on Sunday night, and will be at L.A. Live for two nights in May--the 15th and 16th.

Tickets go on sale on ticketmaster.com next Friday (January 22) at 10:00 a.m. for Gervais' Los Angeles shows.
