Hole to perform at Music Box @ Fonda on Thursday, Friday

Better known as a tabloid disaster and a brilliant, outré pugilist taking on all comers — journalists, other celebrities, sometimes her own friends and family — Courtney Love of Hole was also once the artist whose music expressed unacceptable female rage and hunger, and in doing so motivated many young women to see and risk new things. Music Box @ Fonda, 6126 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood. 8 p.m. Thu. and Fri. $32.50. (213) 480-3232.
