Tank and The Bangas at Blue Note Los Angeles

Tank and The Bangas settle into Blue Note Los Angeles for a Saturday and Sunday run in mid-November, billed as a KCRW presentation. If you keep a list of LA concerts worth planning around, a weekend of live music in a Sunset Boulevard supper club room is an easy one to pencil in.

When: Saturday, November 14, 2026, 7:00 PM (doors 5:00 PM) Where: Blue Note Los Angeles, 6372 W Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90028 Tickets: Through TicketWeb and the venue; price not listed in our sources

The shows

The venue lists four performances: two on Saturday, November 14 (7:00 PM with doors at 5:00 PM, and 9:30 PM with doors at 9:00 PM) and two on Sunday, November 15 at the same times. Each showtime is ticketed separately, so check which one you are buying before you pay. The venue marks some seating as Mastercard Premium Reserved Seating.

The band

Tank and The Bangas are a New Orleans group known for blending neo-soul, hip-hop, jazz and spoken word, led by vocalist and poet Tarriona "Tank" Ball. Their official site is tankandthebangas.com if you want to hear them before you commit. Expect a band that moves quickly between sung hooks, rapped verses and theatrical storytelling, which suits a room built for listening.

The venue and what to know

Blue Note Los Angeles is a dinner-and-drinks club in Hollywood, so this is a sit-down night rather than a standing-room crush. Per the venue's listing:

• There is a $20 minimum per person, and a full bar and dinner menu.
• All seating is first come, first served, and bar area seating is limited. When it fills, the rest of the bar area is standing room only.
• Table seating is all ages, while the bar area is 21+. Bar area tickets for patrons under 21 will not be honored.
• Tickets are no refunds or exchanges.

Arrive early if you want a choice of seats, especially for the 7:00 PM set, since doors open two hours before the music.

Getting there

The club sits on West Sunset Boulevard in the heart of Hollywood, so it pairs easily with dinner nearby, though the on-site menu means plenty of people eat at the show. Parking and rideshare are both common choices on Sunset, so leave extra time on a Saturday evening.

If you are building a weekend around things to do in Los Angeles, this one is a safe bet for anyone who likes their soul with a little jazz, a little hip-hop and a lot of personality.
