Dear 2012, don’t let the door hit you in the ass. Dear friends, please be safe tonight:

‣ The key here will be to dress as well as the band: R&B revivalists Vintage Trouble, already huge just about everywhere but their hometown, bring their retro rock to the Roxy Theatre, where Sy Smith and DJ Dayle will spin some old-school goodness.
‣ Gonna get loud at the Alexandria Hotel downtown, where “Ballroom Blitz” brings Redd Kross and the Melvins to the stage.
‣ The Henry Clay People reprise their rowdy New Year Eve’s performances of years past at the Satellite, and tonight they’re joined by the Lonely Wild, Torches and Kissing Cousins.
‣ The inimitable Cake plays the Wiltern.
‣ And Sasha rocks the house at Exchange LA.
