Tonight in L.A. (January 18, 2013)

No shortage of musical options on this fresh Friday...but there is a shortage of music videos because SUPERGOOD is flying the friendly skies and videos don't load that quickly when your 30,000 feet in the air.  

Getting down in LA tonight are a host of talented artists - from the rhythmic beauty of Femi Kuti & The Positive Force to the wild cover energy of Hyper Crush, many of L.A.'s stages will be ignited with quality music.  

Of Mice & Men rock at House of Blues - Sunset STrip, Andrew Bird evokes emotions at Largo as does Kelley James at Key Club.  For a fun sing along - consider the cover sounds of Black Crystal Wolf Kids at El Cid where they are joined by Ninja Betty & The Nunchix.  If you want to dance dance dance - check Congorock at Avalon or Gladkill and Kastle at King King Club.   Indie kids can enjoy The Dead Ships at The Satellite.

Last but certainly not least - ultimate funksters, fans of Parliament, and Talking Heads heads should swing to The Mint to catch Bernie Worrell Orchestra and see the legend Worrell in the flesh!

Tonight in L.A. (October 24, 2012)

A week before Halloween goes down - you can already start giving your costumes a taste of nightlife if you're going as a ninja by celebrating the pending release of the latest Tarantino influenced Kung fu film, The Man With The Iron Fist, with RZA as he takes to House of Blues Sunset.  He is joined by the Guerilla Union family and a cast of rapping characters – including some Wu brethren (rumors of U God, amongst others) as well as freestyle veterans Supernatural and Kosha Dillz.  Check out the superdope new video from RZA and Black Keys for a song from the film's soundtrack.

Head west on Sunset – and get even more use out of your costume - where you'll find Black Crystal Wolf Kids finishing up their residency of cover (or costume) music at The Viper Room with Ninja Betty and The Nunchix and The Damselles & TC4 -  making it their best line-up yet.  Flume continues tearing up L.A. locals – this time at Low End Theory with Eprom topping the bill.

The jammier set can get down with Jerry Joseph & The Jackmormons at The Mint.  We have a pair of tickets to dish out - so hit us at contest@supergoodmusic.com if you are interested.  Otherwise - dig through the list below to find something else that suits your sonic proclivities.

Tonight in L.A. (October 10, 2012)

The 10th day of October brings some noteworthy talent to Los Angeles' stages - some right at the apex of their hype (Grimes) and others just trying to keep milking the cow (Madonna).  Both will be spectacles for sure - and Madonna's not an artist to shake a stick at - but do you want to see her at Staples Center?

I'd recommend Grimes as she performs her second sold out event at El Rey Theatre with support from Elite Gymnastics, Myths and Brooke Candy.  Two other acts that are on point right now - Circa Survive and Grizzly Bear -headline tonight too.  Grizzly Bear takes to Greek Theater with Lower Dens opening while Circa Survive stands atop a rock bill with Touche Amore, Balance and Composure and O'Brother at Club Nokia.  







Other fun shows include the filthy beats and danceable tunes of Opiuo and VibeSquad at The Roxy, A House for Lions at The Central SAPC, VUM's release event at The Echo and the indie rock cover stylings of Black Crystal Wolf Kids at The Viper Room.  We've got free tickets to giveaway for Opiuo - so tweet out to us (@supergoodmusic) and @theroxy to enter or email contest@supergoodmusic.com.

Tonight in L.A. (October 3, 2012) - L.A.'s Concert Options for Tonight

Whether it’s the new rocking sounds of The Black Keys, fun., Foster The People or some other band your parents haven't heard of - you can hear it all with the indie rock cover sounds of Black Crystal Wolf Kids as they launch their residency at The Viper Room.

Along with BCWK – on the Sunset Strip KROQ Locals Only throws down at On The Rox with NO, Beach Party and The New Limb.   Head east and you’ll find Father John Misty and Daniel Lanois at Bootleg Theater, Eyes Lips Eyes and the debut performance of Hobart W. Fink at The Satellite (for FREE too) and the kickoff to FILTER MAGAZINE's CULTURE COLLIDE FESTIVAL!  Over at Taix lounge - you get an intimate treat from Penguin Prison, The Chevin and School of Seven Bells.  If you're not already figuring out how you're making your way to Taix - you're either busy, don't like discovering music or sipping a bit too much weak sauce today.   Or maybe you just can't handle that energy in that little room - in which case - go really east and you can relax with Conor Oberst’s melancholy rock and Jenny Lewis at Fox Theater Pomona. 

And, last but not least, the native Chicago homie Prob Cause is spitting at Taix for Culture Collide Festival as well.  He goes on at 10:30 and his new video Flex (above) is all over MTV.  Get hip to it.
