Step Into The Black Music Series

Thursday June 28th is kind of a wild night in LA for free music and complimentary booze - on top of the VICE/AIR event with Sebastien Tellier (we posted on it yesterday), the STEP INTO THE BLACK MUSIC SERIES, curated by the Fader team and sponsored by Captain Morgan Black Spiced Rum, stops at new West Hollywood enclave Bootsy Bellows on their ten week, ten city tour.  The night will feature a special performance from The Afghan Whigs and a DJ set from Yung Skeeter - as well as a visit from the Inn N Out Truck!

In addition to the free music and booze, attendees may also be interested in acquiring a copy of the Step Into The Black limited edition vinyl.  Fear not - because we are giving a copy away - just email contest@supergoodmusic.com to get in on that action.  If vinyl isn't your thing (or you can't make it), anyone can download exclusive MP3s from the performances at Captain Morgan's Facebook page: http://on.fb.me/CaptainMorganBlack

VICE & THE AIR DANCE PARTY SERIES KICKS OFF IN LA TOMORROW NIGHT!

Are you on a budget - but really need a fix of l Iive music and gratis booze?  Well - we've got the solution for you....

Tomorrow night (June 28th), 333Live hosts DJ Sebastien Tellier as part of The Air Launch Parties series.  VICE and Air are kicking their dance party series off in America's EDM epicenter, Los Angeles, to promote "water getting a lot more exciting."  While we're not really sure what that means (we hear its water with alcohol in it) - free booze (Air) and a rare appearance from French electronic artist Sebastien Tellier speak loud and clear.

In conjunction with the launch parties, Air invites audiences to submit a photo for a chance to win a free trip to the series finale in San Francisco. Submit via Facebook, Instagram and Twitter by tagging your photo #AirParties, or visiting Drinkair.com.    You can RSVP by going here: http://rsvp.vice.com/AirParties/

Other parties include Lemonade in Portland on July 13th, Nadastrom, Treasure Fingers and AC Slater at Breathe Lounge in Las Vegas on July 14th, Z-Trip and Sinden in Seattle on July 20th and Surkin and Sinden closing out the series in San Francisco at The Mezzanine on August 2nd. 

Check out Sebastien's video for "Russian Attractions" released earlier this week.

DELON'S MEMORIAL POOL PARTY RAGER w/ Delon, Dean Risko, Electric Drip & More!

Its kind of officially the kick off of summer this weekend - charcoal's getting hot, pools are getting filled, booze is flowing freely and skin is more exposed.   Just in case you weren't convinced - there are some festivals (Lightning In A Bottle, Silverlake Jubilee) too.

Assuming you're not fest-ing it up, or even if you are headed to Jubilee, you might want to consider a trip to Pasadena on Sunday at noon for DELON'S MEMORIAL WEEKEND POOL RAGER.  It's the launch of a series of pool parties that the DJ/MC will be hosting and performing at all summer long - from private residences, to swanky hotels.   BUT - unlike the others - this one is the first and comes along with free alcohol (including some tasty tasty XANTE), free food and, of course, free entry.  Space is limited - so you might want to RSVP to musicfuturenow@gmail.com to ensure you and your guests are included.  You can also RSVP via Facebook here.

Not convinced?  On top of being one of the first in LA to witness the Sri Lankan phenom drop his poppy party starter "Body Rock" - you may get a taste of some of his other unreleased material, as well as visits from other upstarts like Dean Risko, Electric Drip and Joy Island!  Check out Delon, Risko and Electric Drip's videos below.  Electric Drip's video is like Beastie Boys "Sabotage" had a baby with aliens and dub step music and that baby was a music video.

I'm heading out because not only are the musicians talented - but who can refuse free booze and food by the pool?  Not me.   Neither can Before The Bigs - the blog hosting the event.  Hope to see you at 880 Rosalind Rd., San Marino, CA 91108!
