To answer my own question (in case anyone else cares): Someone
pointed me to the KCRW events page and this event called Opium is
indeed scheduled for August 9th with GusGus performing. In addition,
Organic APPEARS to be happening on September 20th with MBM, Orbital,
Chemical Brothers and the Orb-- the page claims to be "continually
updated" but I would take it all with a grain of salt.
Anyway, here's some info:
Saturday, August 9
