If you had a chance to get out last week and see some of the amazing music that was in town – good for you. Links and Stone Foxes – were both two acts I had not yet seen, but had heard a lot about. To be blunt – they delivered.
I also made a few new discoveries in the blogosphere and through personal connections - Keith Masters – a great hip-hop/club MC who is on the cusp of blowing up and Tic Tic Boom, a local catchy indie-pop LA band that spawned out of a boyfriend and girlfriend’s time together in their cozy apartment. Tic Tic Boom is busy working on a new record; Keith’s song “I Love To Floss” is featured on SUPAFRESH VOLUME 2 and he has a few tracks available for download for free here -

This CONCERT BLAST takes you through this week, ending on Sunday July 12th and includes an updated ON THE RADAR section. If you are a new recipient of the CONCERT BLAST, typically once a week I send out an e-mail detailing who is playing where and when in and around Los Angeles. I also post the CONCERT BLAST, as well as updates to it and other music related postings at supergoodmusic.com.
Anyhow, you’ll find my recommendations for the week below – but I’ve included a nice long list of other acts.
After the long weekend, tonight I am probably taking it easy. If I do make it out, I will either be at Carbon for Funkmosphere or I will make my way east to echo for Japanese Motors – a band that’s been garnering more attention as of recently.
Tuesday is going to be a great night for music on both the Sunset and Hollywood corridors. On Sunset, The Roxy is hosting the album release party for the recently famous club party group LMFAO. If you’re looking to play all night like LMFAO, but not with LMFAO, then I would suggest going to Cinespace for DIM MAK Tuesday’s. This week DIM MAK is being hosted by Nelly Furtado!
Wednesday – my local favorites – The French Semester – bring their catchy, lyrically awesome immigrant-rock to On The Rox. The Volunteers, a rising young pop-rock band from NYC will be playing too! If you’re more of a hip-hop head – U-N-I at echo is not to be missed.
For Thursday’s, I’m quickly becoming a fan of El Cid’s Rootdown. Located downtown, this nice little club/restaurant is an unsuspectingly dope place to have a funky dance party. If you’re looking to shoegaze a little more, or want a little more guitar in your music, I might suggest You Me & Iowa at The Hotel Café.
Even if the weekend is not going to be quite the event this past one was – a few musicians will still be gracing LA with their presence. Ray Lamontagne will be making an appearance on Conan O’Brien before playing The Hollywood Bowl on Sunday. The infamous Mix Master Mike will be spinning at The Viper Room on Friday. DJ’s J-Boogie and Adam Freeland will also be making a few LA appearances (see below). On Saturday, Orgone, Breakestra and The Lions all bring their dirty dirty funk to the Downtown Rumble. Moving into Sunday and next week, Beyonce will be making stops in both Anaheim and LA.
