Machine Gun Kelly Stepped His Game (and Laces) Up at Key Club

This past Sunday I was able to witness one of the best white rapper performances I have ever seen. Sure I've caught Hoodie Allen, Chris Webby and some forgettable white rappers but none had the stage presence that Machine Gun Kelly displayed. He was a wild man in his Sunday performance at Key Club Hollywood, dancing his ass off to LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem" and Blink 182's "What's My Age Again" while taking a couple big swigs of Grey Goose during his set. Displaying his rapid fire flow throughout the show, MGK stage dove multiple times and brought two fans on stage who conveniently donned Lace Up tattoo's.

It was an entertaining performance from Machine Gun Kelly to say the least and even the songs I didn't know, I enjoyed. He proved he's a musician to watch out for and has the potential to be a star in the hip-hop game, which P. Diddy realized when he signed him to a record deal over the summer. Celebs were there to indulge, including "Cooler Than Me" charmer Mike Posner. My favorite song I heard was "Stereo", which I heard as I entered the building and is below to listen and download.

Pacific Festival Post Fact - Part 2 (recap by ZSE)

Part 1 of my Pacific Festival review consisted of acts that performed during the day. Part 2 below consists of acts that performed at night.

After Calvin Harris got the party starting on the main stage, Steve Aoki continued the party with his bangers ranging from "Turbulence" to his stellar remix of "Pursuit of Happiness." He had by far the greatest stage presence. Here's my favorite song he did, his remix to Kid Cudi's "Pursuit of Happiness".

Pursuit of Happiness (Steve Aoki Remix)

After seeing Aoki, I scrambled over to see Aussie house duo Bag Raiders. They were one of the up-and-coming acts I was most excited to see. What I didn't expect was that their sound would be so exceptional, not only with the instrumentals but the vocals as well. "Way Back Home" appeared to pump the crowd up the most as the duo both were banging on drums and the catchy chorus was hot and dope!

Bag Raiders - Way Back Home

After Bag Raiders, we went back to the main stage to see Ghostland Observatory. If you're looking for a group that not only sounds good but has amazing visual effects as well, look no further than Ghostland Observatory. While I don't remember all the songs they performed, I won't forget the amazing light show and lasers during their performance, which made their set pretty much amazing. Here's my favorite song I heard from them live, "Midnight Voyage".

Midnight Voyage - Ghostland Observatory

Ghostland was a great pick me up act for west coast hip-hop legend Snoop Dogg. Even though we had to wait over 30 minutes for Snoop to get on stage, his performance was off the chain. Seriously Snoop Dogg is a legend and if you're a fan of hip-hop, you must respect Snoop's music, his swagger and his status. He played mostly his older tracks, which I personally loved and while there was a couple older tracks he didn't play ("Deep Cover" and "Gz and Hustlers"), he still was great. Here's video we got of his performance:

Lastly Australian act Cut Copy came to the stage as headliners of the festival. I was surprised as anybody why Snoop Dogg wasn't the closer, but after seeing Cut Copy jam out with the energy they had, I left with a great appreciation for Pacific Festival and their scheduling. I enjoyed almost every song Cut Copy did and really absorbed the energy from lead vocalist Dan Whitford. Here's my favorite song from Cut Copy, "Take Me Over", just a great song for a road trip or any other adventure you embark on.
