The Noise From The Cemetery...

Trippy video from Computer Jay....just in time for Halloween.  Get your zombie on with Noise From The Cemetery....

Noise From The Cemetery(Re-Animator Mix Ft. Ali BABA Abnormal)- Computer Jay from Computer Jay on Vimeo.

Tonight in L.A. (October 31, 2012) - Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween.  The LA concert calendar gets some real treats on this night - like the LACMA Halloween Ball featuring a Stanley Kubrick Exhibition and the soundscapes of Daedelus and his Archimedes exhibition.  Wickedly ill is one apt way to describe that event.  



The same could be said for another location that Daedelus is familiar with - The Airliner and Low End Theory.  Karreim Riggins, Nastynasty, Daddy Kev, Nobody, Gaslamp Killer and Nocando all get down plus an very very special guest.  If you want to figure out who that is - you better be wearing a costume or be prepared to cough up a nice benjamin - because its a $100 cover for the costume-less.

Another Halloween party is taking place at The CenTRILL SAPC.  Its not really spelled like that - but with Trill Murray, Inspired Flight and Minnesota all performing at a special Halloween jam, it should be for this night.



As far as dance parties go though - I may be most excited for the sexy new disco of Disclosure at El Rey Theatre.  If you want hot sexy dance tunes - look no further than these boys from across the pond.





Elsewhere - I really like Dustbowl Revival at Virgil.  They will be having fun - no matter whether they're rocking a 5 piece or 10 piece or something in between (rumor has it there will be a healthy lot of them for Halloween).  The Mint hosts the well traveled Donna The Buffalo with support from The Makepeace Brothers, All Time Low rocks The House of Blues on Sunset, and local soulful funk crew House of Vibe All Stars hold things down for westsiders at Harvelles.

Its Halloween eve - so repress your costumes and embrace them for the second to last time of 2012.  Tonight there are a host of events to choose from - including traditional Halloween style shenanigans like The Rocky Horror Picture Show at Yost Theater or a costume dance party, like at Dim Mak Studios.

Close to Dim Mak, Miike Snow along with Niki & The Dove lay down some sexy tunes - so maybe hit up the Hollywood Palladium before closing down Dim Mak.  Another worthy Halloween eve concert is Cadence Weapon at The Satellite - where he is joined by Fat Tony and Subtitle for a night of eclectic hip-hop.




An unexpected Halloween treat comes in the form of Aziz Ansari and friends who roll out laughter at Largo for an Obama Benefit.

Tonight in L.A. (October 28, 2012)


On this last Sunday of October you could spend your day watching football and recovering from the Halloween weekend that was - or you could continue to hit the pavement and get your metaphorical trick or treat on.

If you're looking to do the latter - start in Venice today with the friendly folks from Jam In The Van at the rally for Matt Kline for Venice City Council.  JITV's recruited a few artists to get in their rig - like Robert Delong, Zach Deputy and locals Restavrant - so roll thru to see what their recording experience is like in the flesh...and while you're at it, vote if you're a Venice resident.


Speaking of JITV, van veteran Meiko joins Donovan for a set at El REy Theatre tonight.  Lights and Arkells at Fonda Theatre or Anya Marina & Friends at The Hotel Cafe might please a similar crowd.  



IF you need your Sunday to be a bit more turned up - consider the Boo Over at Lure, the Dance of the Dead at Drai's Hollywood with Yuksek, Thee Mike B and DJ Metric, Armin Van Buuren at Exchange LA or join the beachside party at Del Monte Speakeasy for Bacchanal with guest appearances from members of De La Soul's band and resident DJ's Mr. NumberOnederful and DJ Bu$rider.   Note that costumes are required for the Boo Over - which you can RSVP for here.

Tonight in L.A. (October 27, 2012)

If you're not already tired of your costume or too hung over to move - Halloween themed parties are all the rage again tonight - and dance-a-thons are in no shortage.  

No matter what side of town you're on - there is someone pushing a few buttons to keep your feet moving.  On The westside, those buttons are pushed courtesy of Goldroom, Yuksek, Steffi Graf and Jamuel St. Jones at The Central SAPC.  If you missed their show on Thursday at The Echo/Echoplex, tonight's your chance to correct that mistake at this Audio Absinthe presents event.  You can  buy tickets here too.  





O.C'ers shouldn't come up to the beach though - I'd advise sticking down by Detroit Bar for Flight Facilities and Fred Falke, unless, of course, you were already going downtown to Club Nokia to see Flight Facilities open for The Presets.   Benny Benassi, Congorock and Pink is Punk also get heavy downtown at Exchange LA and Belasco Theater hosts a haunted mansion with $5,000 in cash prizes for costumes.  







Take a trip up the 101 and contine to Halloween BOOootie LA at Echoplex or try Hollywood's Avalon to dance wee into the morning with Erick Morillo or with Supreme Team presenting DJ Felli Fel and Will.i.am at Supperclub.  Its a potentially destination for the hip-hop fans spilling out of the sold out Macklemore & Ryan Lewis show at Fonda Theatre (Note, if anyone can find Macklemore's threads from this video, aka his jacket, I kind of want that to be the "cold ass honky" as my Halloween costume for tonight).  



There is other hip-hop stuff too - like Brother Ali and Homeboy Sandman at El Rey Theatre or Skeme at Key Club.  Rock fans get a true treat with Jane's Addiction at The Wiltern.  They're supported by Thenewno2.  The Railroad Revival Tour chooches through town too with Band of Horses at Warner Grand Theater. Since it's Halloween Weekend - KCRW hosts their masquerade ball with tunes served up by Z-Trip, Mexican Institute of Sound, Dustbowl Revival, Hanni El Khatib and more.   White Arrows at Constellation Room is also a SUPERGOOD choice.
