The trio of balladeering acts will perform at the Glass House in Pomona on Friday, Jan. 31 as part of the "I Heart L.A." benefit concert series organized by Viva Music Festival. Indie bands Inner Wave, the Red Pears and Tijuana Panthers will take the same stage the following day, Feb. 1.
"We wanted to help more than anything. Although I was not born in Los Angeles, we've spent a lot of time there and it hurt us to see what was happening," said DannyLux.
To date, the L.A. fires has burned more than 57,000 acres of land since Jan. 7. At least 28 people have died, and roughly 16,000 structures have been destroyed, with significant damage across the communities of Altadena and Pacific Palisades — both important hubs and homes for music creatives.

James Cameron Wants to Remind You That Generative AI Is a Threat
As the industry behind generative AI keeps touting its evolution, Hollywood stands on a precipice to see just who's going to be first to break ground leveraging the controversial technology in film production (although, reportedly, not for a lack of trying and failing behind the scenes). But for James Cameron, at least, the current will-they-won't-they approach is untenable—and the filmmaker believes that studios have to start getting a grip with the technology now, before it irrevocably damages the livelihoods of moviemaking creatives for good. 'I can't think of anything coming up that is bigger and more important to us right now than confronting this generative AI issue,' Cameron recently told Screendaily, as he continues work on the future of the Avatar franchise in New Zealand. 'It is critical that we master it and control it so that it remains an artistic tool and it doesn't replace artists. The idea that this technology could potentially replace actors and the unique lens that every artist brings is horrifying… The new tools have the possibility of doing great harm because they can replace an actor, or they can synthesize an actor who is dead.' Cameron has already been vocal over his concern with generative AI, leveraging his cultural history with the robo-apocalypse seen in the Terminator movies to jokingly, but not really jokingly, warn people that unchecked embrace of AI is a dangerous moment we find ourselves in—whether it's for creative or other technological purposes. 'I do think there's still a danger of a Terminator-style apocalypse where you put AI together with weapons systems, even up to the level of nuclear weapon systems, nuclear defense counterstrike, all that stuff,' Cameron recently told Rolling Stone. 'I feel like we're at this cusp in human development where you've got the three existential threats: climate and our overall degradation of the natural world, nuclear weapons, and superintelligence. They're all sort of manifesting and peaking at the same time. Maybe the superintelligence is the answer. I don't know. I'm not predicting that, but it might be.' Cameron hopes that one of those threats, climate change, might be combatted in part by the legacy of the sci-fi worlds he explores in Avatar. But as for generative AI, the filmmaker does not necessarily see the technology as a threat to be destroyed—instead, to be mastered and contained before it replaces human creativity. Last year, it was announced that Cameron had joined the executive board of StabilityAI, in part to see how the intersection of AI-generated images and visual FX work could be used in filmmaking. 'I want to learn it, I want to master it for myself, then use my own best judgment about how I apply it to my personal art,' Cameron continued to Screen Daily. 'It takes me four years to make an Avatar movie, so I think about how great it would be if I could do it in three years or two years.' 'Movies are very, very expensive now, and it seems to me that the cinema is becoming less important to the world at large, which is horrifying as well after spending 42 years making movies to be seen in movie theaters,' he concluded. 'We're not seeing as many movies getting greenlit and getting made of the type that I love—the fantasy, the phantasmagorical, science fiction, big, visually opulent films.' But while Cameron is open to seeing how the technology could aid filmmakers at some point, right now, it's seemingly clear to him the current state of generative AI has no place in his creative process—it was reported earlier this year that Cameron claimed Avatar: Fire and Ash, due out later this year, will open with a title card informing the audience that no generative AI was used in the process of its creation.

Angelina Jolie Is Prepping Her Historic Home for Sale amid Plans to Leave L.A. and Move Abroad (Exclusive Source)
The 'Maria' star has been 'eyeing several locations abroad' as she plans to officially let go of her Los Angeles estate, a source tells PEOPLENEED TO KNOW Angelina Jolie is preparing to sell her historic L.A. home amid her plans to move abroad, a source tells PEOPLE The Academy Award winner is planning to make some minor improvements to her famous Cecil B. DeMille Estate before selling the property She first purchased the home in 2017 and has still been living there 'because of the custody arrangement' with her ex-husband Brad Pitt, the source addsAngelina Jolie is ready to part ways with her historic Los Angeles home. The Maria star, 50, is officially planning to 'put the house up for sale' as she explores a move abroad, a source tells PEOPLE. Page Six was the first to report the news. Jolie 'never wanted to live in L.A. full time. She didn't have a choice because of the custody arrangement with Brad,' continues the source, referring to the star's ex-husband Brad Pitt, 61. The exes — who reached a divorce settlement in December 2024 after an eight-year legal battle — share six children: Maddox, 24, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 17. The source adds that Jolie 'plans to relocate as soon as Knox and Viv turn 18 next year. She's eyeing several locations abroad. She'll be very happy when she's able to leave Los Angeles." Of Jolie's Los Angeles home, the source notes, 'It's a historic masterpiece and truly such a beautiful estate.' Another insider confirms that the Without Blood writer/director is planning on selling the home after she makes some minor improvements to it. Jolie purchased the historic 1913-build in 2017 for $24.5 million, a source told PEOPLE at the time. The sprawling property boasts six bedrooms and ten bathrooms across 11,000 square feet. Its Hollywood ties make it a one-of-a-kind property, as it was purchased by director Cecil B. DeMille for under $28,000 in 1916, PEOPLE previously reported. Charlie Chaplin also lived in a neighboring house, but after he moved out, DeMille purchased and combined the two estates. Jolie previously opened up about why she's still living in Los Angeles despite her desire to leave, per a 2024 interview with The Hollywood Reporter. The Academy Award winner, who filed for divorce from Pitt in September 2016 after two years of marriage, told the outlet at the time that she is currently in the city "because I have to be here from a divorce." However, once her twins turn 18, Jolie said she's ready to live abroad full time as she seeks qualities that Los Angeles can't offer her or her children. "When you have a big family, you want them to have privacy, peace, safety," she said at the time. "I have a house now to raise my children, but sometimes this place can be … that humanity that I found across the world is not what I grew up with here." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from juicy celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. After she leaves L.A., she noted, "I'll spend a lot of time in Cambodia," which is where she adopted her oldest son Maddox in 2002. She added, "I'll spend time visiting my family members wherever they may be in the world.' Jolie previously shared that Cambodia is the one place 'in my heart' that she considers her home during a conversation at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival in February.
