Israeli (now LA-based) goa/psy/metal trance group Infected Mushroom played to a packed crowd at the Vanguard on Saturday night. The group, which has been touring almost non-stop since 1999--including a stop here just three weeks ago at the Electric Daisy Carnival--is again on the road promoting its new album, "Legend of the Black Shwarma."
Unlike most electronic performances, a live Infected Mushroom show is not just someone with a laptop and turntables; featuring a guitarist and live drummer, Infected Mushroom is a dynamic, full-fledged band. The set stretched past the two-hour mark and kept the crowd grooving to influences of nu-metal and New Wave (including a cover of Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus") until the wee hours of the morning.

LA Galaxy vs. AC Milan
60 photos
CARSON, CA -- The Los Angeles Galaxy faced off in a friendly against Italian powerhouse AC Milan Saturday night. While the match resulted in a 2-2 draw, it was an exciting match throughout, both on and off the field.
The match also marked the return of embattled Galaxy superstar David Beckham, who left the Galaxy to play on loan for AC Milan. From the moment he was introduced and each time he touched the ball, Beckham was booed relentlessly by the home crowd. At the end of the first half Beckham had enough and walked to the Galaxy die-hard support club, the LA Riot Squad, and engaged the fans. One supporter jumped onto the field and was promptly apprehended. Beckham later stated "he just wanted to make amends and shake his hand."
Off the field antics aside, Beckham was essential to the draw feeding a long pass down field to set up the first goal and taking the corner that drew the game even.
