Tonight in L.A. (February 7, 2013)

The talent is rolling through town as it inches closer to the Grammys.  If you're not on that Pre-Grammy  party tip - then consider popping into one of L.A.'s many venues.  

ZZ Ward returns to Troubadour fo ra second sold out night with Delta Rae.  Get intoxicated by her cool after Martin Harley warms up the crowd.  



Up Doheny you can frequent the Sunset Strip and see legendary MCs Maseo (De La Soul) and B-Real (Cypress Hill) at Key Club.  Other options include catching a revitalized Fall Out Boy at The Roxy or Solange at House of Blues.  





For a more amplified turn up consider the beats of Avicii at Vanguard, Griz at Yost Theater or Gigamesh at King King Club.    Each dance floor should be thumping a little bit harder with those men controlling the sonic landscape.

Tonight in L.A. (January 24, 2013)

Finally back in Los Angeles for more than five minutes - which means SUPERGOOD will be hitting the pavement, NAMM and venue bars to indulge in the finest of musical offerings.    Tonight - its time to go underground for some classic hip-hop.

Former Def Jux act, Cannibal Ox reunite for a performance at The Roxy that celebrates more than a decade since the release of Cold Vein.  They've been joined nationally by Chicago veteran rapper Keith Masters, whose "Game Day: Pt II" has been a football friendly synch all year long - but in LA the show gets an extra dosage of street from the illest Jewish rapper in Koreatown - Kosha Dillz.  To participate in a contest to get on the guest list - tweet out @theroxy @supergoodmusic @koshadillz @keithmasters #cannibaloxreuniontour - and maybe you'll win a pair of tickets!

On the westside, there is more underground chemistry, but of the electronic and beat variety in the form of Break Science's late show at The Central SAPC.  They're joined by Continuum (jobot Live) - doors are at 10.

Muse rocks Staples Center for proper if you are looking for an entertainment spectacle.  Support from Band of Skulls means it should be solid from opening to close.

Other notable shows include Nia Andrews at Del Monte Speakeasy, a free performance from FIDLAR at Amoeba Records, Sarah Silverman at Largo and Ours with Lady Sinatra and The Diamond Light at The Viper Room.

Tonight in L.A. (December 21, 2012)

Close the books, clear the e-mail, say your holiday goodbyes, make that final phone call...and then run through this list of concerts to pick your last live entertainment of the year.

Funk heads get a treat from The Meters' Leo Nocentelli at The Mint, or can go for something a bit more raw at The Central SAPC with Chali 2na and The House of Vibe All-Stars.



Fans of the guitar can enjoy Jon Brion's final Largo show of the year, another installment of the legendary Camp Freddy at The Roxy or a sold out Black Rebel Motorcycle Club throwdown at Troubadour.



If you want some filthy filthy beats - look no further than Dillon Francis at El Rey Theatre with Kill Paris and Paul Devro.  But, if you can't get into that - AraabMUZIK with Baauer, The Killabits and Bird Peterson at Avalon is definitely not a bad substitute.

Tonight in L.A. (December 12, 2012)

Its 12.12.12.  I'm not feeling apocalyptic.  The end didn't happen...yet.  But it might be near.  At least that's what you'll hear if you go see 12th Planet at Exchange LA along with Two Fresh, Clicks & Whistles, Salva and Dallas K.  The bass drops will be heavy.





There will probably be heavy bass at Barrington Levy at Echoplex, although quite a different sort in the form of reggae vibes.  Also on the eastside you can catch The Soft Moon and Vinyl Williams at The Echo or Das Tapes at The Satellite.

Personally I like the sophista-funk of Dragon Smoke at The Mint featuring Ivan Neville, Stanton Moore, Eric Lindell and Robert Mercurio.  The half Galactic, half just awesome superband will probably do things on stage that blow the average concert goers mind - but don't take my word for it.  See for yourself.  We have a pair of tickets to give away so just holler at us at contest@supergoodmusic.com.



Up in the West Hollywood region Bondax, Kingdom and Bones bring electronic stylings to The Roxy, Shwayze does his southern California hip soul at The Viper Room and The Tragically Hip try to impress at House of Blues - Sunset.  Last but not least - JMSN and Meg Myers perform at Troubadour.Dragon 



Other notables include Alt-J and Wildcat! Wildcat! at Fonda Theatre and Prodigy and Alchemist at The Observatory and of course 12.12.12. at Low End Theory with Peanut Butter Wolf and 11 other DJs each spinning 12 records.  A full list of shows tonight is below...

Tonight in L.A. (December 6, 2012)

Hip hop fans should be cranking things up in West Hollywood a notch tonight with Clyde Carson slowing things down at Key Club and PacDiv, Tiron & Ayomari, Thurz (from U-N-I), Shawn Chrys and more getting urban at The Roxy.  You know you'll be able to catch me somewhere in that Sunset Strip hood.



Can't handle the top song on Power 106?  Maybe you want to laugh at Largo with Demetri Martin at his Infrequent Show with uncommon guests?  Or make a dance floor filthy with Lazrtag at Yost Theater?  Or see No Doubt bust out their final performance of their Gibson Amphitheatre run?  





Maybe you just want to keep it indie...in which case I recommend The Lonely Wild at The Echo.  For a complete list of tonight's LA shows see the list below.
