Kiev Residency at Bootleg

Quasi-local (OC and Long Beach) act Kiev enjoy the third night of their stellar residency this Monday night at Bootleg. Their Radiohead meets My Morning Jacket meets Medeski Martin & Wood sound recalls all things that are good about music, without any of the pop, begging to be discovered, drivel. These guys make music they like - and they appear to have fun doing it too. Celebrate their latest projects at Bootleg tonight with Miya Folick, The Steelwells, MYPET and DJ Kat Corbett! And, its FREE! 

Tonight in L.A. (February 25, 2013)

Post Oscar hangovers give rise to the realization that it is actually a full work week this week.  And while that seems daunting, finding some quality act to see this Monday night in Los Angeles is not.  With some great residencies closing the books on their February run - it might be wise to catch those weekly parties before they change casts.  

The Mowgli's enlisted The Diamond Light, Zak Waters, Lisa Donnelly and DJ Jason Kramer to end things at The Satellite on a high note.  A House for Lions did the same by recruiting Max and The Moon, The Peach Kings and The Cerny Brothers.   Dance party starter Mystery Skulls hauled in Ghost Beach, Gangplans and DJ Holloweyed to Bootleg Bar to end his run there. 

Elsewhere Hunnypot Radio broadcasts out of The Central SAPC with a tasty set from rising indie electro pop rockers Mind The Gap, Del The Funky Homosapien drops some FREE raps on the Slidebar crowd, Jeff Garlin makes people laugh as he converses with Aziz Ansari at Largo and last but not least, Chief and Warships deliver a dosage of indie to It's A School Night at Bardot.

Its another week of holiday parties and scrambling to make sure you see everyone before they leave town and enter the entertainment industry dark weeks.  Perhaps you'll find them at the Hurricane Sandy comedy benefit going on downtown at Club Nokia with the likes of Will Ferrell, Aziz Ansari, Sarah Silverman and more.  Or maybe a local concert like Jhameel's residency at Bootleg with support from the feisty up and coming indie-dance act Mind The Gap?  Or maybe they'll be Robert Raimon Roy's record release party at The Standard Hollywood (listening begins at 10:15?  Or maybe they'll be somewhere else....

If its somewhere else I might recommend Eastern Conference Champions and Bixby Knolls at The Echo, because its free or Bonhom, Diwon, E-Train, Palter Ego and Neutron at The Central SAPC because its festive and lots of jewish artists will be celebrating with Hannukah performances.

Its back to work and that end of the year grind for most of us today - including musicians.  This final Monday brings the end of a handful of residencies, most notably The Record Company at The Satellite who will be joined by Das Tapes, The Peach Kings, Strange Vine and KCRW's Jason Kramer.  Its pretty much a power line up of local indie - so make sure to check it out.



If you are disinclined to the eastside - Hollywood offers Its A School Night at Bardot with Rah Rah and the Sunset Strip plays host to The Neighbourhood at The Viper Room and Lindsey Stirling at The Roxy.  I recommend the former over the latter - but that's just my preference.



No list would be complete without mentioning No Doubt's show at Gibson Amphitheatre.  The second of a handful that the revived act brings to the venue.  And honorable mention goes to Organ Freeman at The Mint whose name is just that cool...



A full list of shows is below.

• No Doubt @ Gibson Amphitheatre

• In The Valley Below, Cotillon, Omniflux, Sabrosa Purr @ Bootleg Bar (FREE)

• The Record Company, Das Tapes, The Peach Kings, Strange Vine, Jason Kramer (KCRW) @ The Satellite (FREE)

• Cosmonauts, The Garden, Feeding Pepole, The Abigails @ Echoplex (FREE)

• Brooke Telarico, Ariana Hall, Kenneth Aaron Harris, Joel Eckels, Adam Levy @ Room 5 Lounge

• Jordan Booth, Jason Josepeh & The Spectacular, Drew @ The Hotel Café (Free after 9:45)

• Little Miss Nasty @ Key Club

• The Neighbourhood, Bad Suns, Daydreamer @ The Viper Room

• Lindsey Stirling, The Vibrant Sound @ The Roxy

• The Mixx @ Harvelles

• Charming Liars, Knee High Fox @ The Central SAPC

Tonight in L.A. (October 7, 2012)

Kick off the week with a lot more than just Monday Night Football.  In fact - catch the first half and then roll to the Spare Room for the premier of Robert Raimon Roy's self titled video if you're lucky (cause the Spare Room is dope and so is RRR!).  Check out the song below...



Stick around Hollyhood and go to Bardot for It's A School Night with New Orleans residents, and Dangerbird signees, The Royal Teeth - along with Touche and Chrome Canyon for a post Culture Collide celebration.   Stumble in late if you're leaving Florence and The Machine with the Weeknd and The Maccabees at Hollywood Bowl.






Eastsiders get a healthy serving of rising stars with Robert Delong doing his residency at The Echoplex with support from Tapioca & The Flea.  Upstairs at The Echo- Superhumanoids, Mr. Little Jeans and Carousel deliver another free show.  In the free department - Westsiders get the every other weekly Hunnypot Radio broadcast at The Central SAPC with guests Kii Arens as well as New Beat Fund, Vim Furor, Dr. Awkward and Barbi Crash.
