On Monday night, while Norwegian rocker Ida Maria (MySpace) wowed the Spaceland (MySpace) crowd, Santa Barbara's Katy Perry (MySpace) returned to her singer-songwriter roots by headlining a sold out show at the Hotel Cafe (MySpace) in Hollywood, with support from last-minute openers Holly Conlan (MySpace) and Meiko (MySpace). LA-Underground observed that, "If [Perry] returned to the 50-capacity Genghis Cohen Cantina or Highland Grounds where she really started now that would be something (especially since Highland Grounds/The Dive closed last year)." But to say that this intimate show wasn't highly anticipated would be wildly inaccurate, as fans flew in from as far away as Vancouver, offering as much as $200 for a pair of tickets, and upwards of 15 paparazzi camped outside at the front and rear entrances for the duration of the evening.

Tonight virtuosic R&B singer-songwriter John Legend will be performing at the Gibson Amphitheatre. Hawaiian-born singer-songwriter Sara Lov is continuing her month-long residency at Spaceland with LAist favorites Learning Music. If you missed Norwegian rock songstress Ida Maria last night, then you can catch her one last time at the Viper Room. And, lastly, it's beginning to appear as though country artist Mike Stinson is to Redwood Bar & Grill as Jon Brion is to Largo; He's practically playing any given day of the month. But we urge you to head over to the Echoplex to catch Eastside buzz band Warpaint's record release show. LA locals Brother Reade (LAist Interview, Review) and Crooked Cowboy are slated to kick off the show.
