Daily Concert Blast : May 22, 2012 (Supplement for LA CONCERT BLAST)

We’re having difficulty logging into our mailing server today, so we’re bringing you a daily Concert Blast update.  Maybe this will start a new trend for our blog (daily blog blasts?), perhaps not.

Regardless, Los Angelenos can get a healthy dosage of audible treats this evening – whether it be in the form of rocking sold out shows from Beck (El Rey Theatre) or Sparta and Ki:Theory (Troubadour), rocking shows with tickets still available like Trampled by Turtles at Fonda Theatre or Sweet & Tender Hooligans at Mayan Theater or filthy drops from Nobody Beats The Drum, Hot Mouth Candyland and more at Dim Mak Studios.   Videos from Beck ("Girls"), Ki:Theory and Nobody Beats The Drum ("Purple Cactus")

Get faded with the dubiness of Mishka and Anuhea at The Viper Room or twisted with Kottonmouth Kings and Twiztid at Key Club.   If you don’t want to take a load off your wallet – The Record Company at Harvard & Stone, Austin Brown’s 90’s party at The Central SAPC or John Wayne Bro at Pike Restaurant and Bar will all welcome your patronage for free.   Videos from Kottonmouth Kings ("Cruizin"), Austin Brown ("Slow Down") and John Wayne Bro at the bottom.

Concert Blast PROBLEMS - Link on This Page For 10/8 - 10/14 Concert Blast

Our Dreamweaver is not loading our most recent concert blast to our webpage and my webguy is out of town for the next week. SO, with much regret, I am here to inform you that the "Blast" link at the top of the page is for last week's blast.

Follow this link to read this week's SUPERGOODMUSIC news...

Keith Masters - "Photo Op"

Today the world received their latest dosage of Electro Majic when Keith Masters released "Photo Op."

The hip-hop electro hipster crossover has a melodic instrumental beginning before Masters drops his lyrically crafty first verse. Opening with some thematic word play on the song title, the lyrics sync perfectly with the ambient track, including the well positioned "Concert Blast" shout out.

Shortly after the SUPERGOOD shout out (we were in the studio when he was recording vocals), Keith picks up his flow double time and exhibits why he should be on any electronic fusion fan's radar. Embracing the structure and creative depth of electronically driven music, Keith and Brandon Dermer (producer) built a pseudo hip-hop song that evolves both musically and lyrically from ambient and slow to fast and rhythmically driven.

Masters maintains the imagery of photo opportunities with creative visual references to the stereotypical pursuit of a flash worthy lifestyle before entering into the easy to rap/sing "Photo Op" chorus. Following the first batch of "op"s, Keith gets deep and introspective about the dreams of chasing a career as a performer, even calling out those that make the leap of faith to pursue careers in L.A in pursuit of those photo ops.

Dropping references to not only SUPERGOOD, but Hollywood swag and Melrose Ave., and with production from Los Angeles' own Dermer, this just might be my next cruising LA cut.


"Photo Op" was written by Keith Masters, features Babe Lincoln and was produced by Brandon Dermer (Los Angeles).
