There’s no one type of dad. There are rock n’ roll dads and Margaritaville dads and then the dads who pound beer to country, among so many other kinds. It can be hard to find the right gift to give these awesome fellows so why not give them the gift of experience and quality time at a live event?
We’ve compiled a list of shows for every kind of dad:
FOR THE FILM BUFF SURFER DAD:
THE PREMIERE OF “SELF-DISCOVERY FOR SOCIAL SURVIVAL”
THE PALACE THEATRE, SATURDAY JUNE 15
Did your dad turn you on to all your favorite films? Now’s the chance to give back with tickets to the premiere of Self-discovery For Social Survival. Not only will he love the film but you’ll also get him into some your favorite bands too (Allah-Las, Connan Mockasin, Andrew VanWyngarden of MGMT, and Peaking Lights!)

FOR THE DAD WITH THE GOOD DAD JOKES:
LOS ESPOOKYS LIVE WITH FRED ARMISEN, JULIO TORRES AND ANA FABREGA
THE REGENT THEATER, TUESDAY JUNE 18
Maybe your dad remembers Fred Armisen from his SNL days or maybe from your favorite show Portlandia. All you both know is that the man is a king of comedy.
In his new HBO show Los Espookys, Fred Armisen along with Julio Torres and Ana Fabrega, create a strange and dreamy version of present day Mexico City and follows a group of friends turning their love for horror into a peculiar business.

FOR THE DAD WHO SMOKED THE WEED HE CONFISCATED:
DEAD MEADOW
THE ECHO, TUESDAY JUNE 18
The band has a patented brand of massively fuzzy, metal-influenced, psych riff bliss that is categorized as Stoner Rock with themes from authors such as J. R. R. Tolkien and H. P. Lovecraft. They’re a modern version of the bands from the 70s your pops loved so much.

FOR THE DEADHEAD DAD:
The Music of Grateful Dead for Kids
THE ECHOPLEX, SUNDAY JUNE 16
Since good taste in music isn’t inherited, you dads out there have to get your kids hooked to good tunes early on! If Mozart is good for developing their brains, then The Grateful Dead is good for their soul. This is your chance to spend Father’s Day with the people and music you love most.

FOR THE DAD WHO WORE COWBOY BOOTS BEFORE IT WAS COOL:
Grand Ole Echo
Every Sunday at the Echo
Where else in L.A. can you catch the future Americana and Country stars of tomorrow with a casual and laid-back family backyard BBQ vibe? AND at the perfect hours: 5-8pm every Sunday. You and dad will still make it to work fresh on Monday with something interesting to talk about!
Get your tickets to the show on Father’s Day with Joe Bourdet and Friends at the door for 5$.
FOR THE DAD WHO LOVES ART:
Artstagia Multiarts Showcase
THE REGENT, FRIDAY JUNE 21
It’s the summer solstice and there’s energy in the air!
