Los Angeles Tonight (April 30, 2013)

Its the final day of the month - which could mean its time to tame down spending to make rent...or its time for the turn up.  If its the latter - we've got a host of musical offerings to suggest.

Topping our list are two shows on the eastside.  If you're feeling Brit Week, then Chad Valley is your man.  He produces and sings simultaneously, effecting his vocals into some sexy, somewhat ambient strange indie electronic music.  His show at The Echo is definitely worthy of your attention.  For more sexy vocals, albeit a different variety that is more hip-hop and poetry informed, consider Robert Raimon Roy at Bootleg Theater.  The triple R threat is joined by the soul of Jack Davey and the electronics of Jonwayne making for an eclectic, eccentric night of dopeness.

We have tickets to give away for both shows - so hit up contest@supergoodmusic.com or mention us and the artists on twitter to get in on the action!





On the grittier rock side of things consider Great White Buffalo at Hemingway's or The Record Company at The Mint.  For the latter, I might advise sticking out for their Cinco De Mayo show at Venice Love Shack because its $10 for all you can drink and all you can jam out to.

Robert Raimon Roy's Dope Sh*t

If you are not quickly becoming familiar with Robert Raimon Roy - perhaps this lyrical video promoting his latest in sonically hot shit - "Dookie" - will help you get there.  He just dropped it and some other wicked new material on a Check Yo Ponytail crowd at The Echoplex last night and he is sure to be dropping some more dookie at some other venues soon as he promotes his forthcoming Dim Mak release.

Tonight in L.A. (October 14, 2012) - A Low Budget Dose

Its Sunday.  I'm feeling lazy watching these great football games - so I won't get too much into who to go see other than recommending three shows for tonight in LA:

First has to be the deliciously talented Robert Raimon Roy supporting the hilariously entertaining Das Racist at The Roxy.  Its an Iheartcomix event - so you know it will be popping and that all the other support will deliver something worth remembering.  Combining their choice talent selection with the sounds and intimacy of The Roxy should yield a rock solid night of neo hip-hop mayhem.  Don't miss it.  Get your tickets here....

The second show I'd be itching to go to is SBTRKT with Syd The Kid at Club Nokia.  Beats will be plentiful.



The third show - The Smashing Pumpkins at Gibson Amphitheatre.  I'd like to hear an argument against going to catch Mr. Billy Corgan get down.

That Triple R Threat - Robert Raimon Roy

Had the pleasure of witnessing a Robert Raimon Roy set at BandPage HQ late night on St. Patrick's Day and the dude killed it. Having graduated from syncopated rap styles and swag rap to a more sophisticated look, a little bit of singing and flexible rap vocals - he delivered one of the most impressive performances I caught down in Austin.

I am excited to see what he puts out next - because last I heard from him was "Little Egypt Wavy" - a synthy, drum heavy hip-hop and soul blend that has a wicked video.

Catch him performing a track at BandPage HQ in Austin too.
