Tonight in L.A. (November 26, 2012)

Its back to work and that end of the year grind for most of us today - including musicians.  This final Monday brings the end of a handful of residencies, most notably The Record Company at The Satellite who will be joined by Das Tapes, The Peach Kings, Strange Vine and KCRW's Jason Kramer.  Its pretty much a power line up of local indie - so make sure to check it out.



If you are disinclined to the eastside - Hollywood offers Its A School Night at Bardot with Rah Rah and the Sunset Strip plays host to The Neighbourhood at The Viper Room and Lindsey Stirling at The Roxy.  I recommend the former over the latter - but that's just my preference.



No list would be complete without mentioning No Doubt's show at Gibson Amphitheatre.  The second of a handful that the revived act brings to the venue.  And honorable mention goes to Organ Freeman at The Mint whose name is just that cool...

Locals Das Tapes Make Sure "This Party" Gets Out Of Control

What do you get when you throw a handful of old people into a warehouse gallery art room, white suits, two musicians, a fist fight and some table flipping? "This Party" by Das Tapes is what you get.

A fun, inexpensive music video from the new LA duo was recently released and is doing a lot to make my Monday morning feel like the weekend isn't quite over...

SUPERGOOD Holiday Sweater & Mustache Jam

Your holiday party calendars might already be half full, half over or just getting started - regardless, their getting a dosage of cool on Wednesday night when The Viper Room hosts our annual Mustache & Ugly Sweater Party, now going into its 3rd year.

With awards going to ugliest sweaters and most creative mustache - its a night of unique looks (I for one will have on a heinous sweater and will be sporting a real mustache for the first time in almost two years). It is also a night of unique (and supergood) music from the likes of Tic Tic Boom!, Standing Shadows, Hyena, Odd Modern and Das Tapes!

Each act is talented in their own right - with all of them emerging from the greater L.A. region other than Hyena (Arizona). They'll be packing the Sunset Strip with synthy indie rock - peppered with undertones of electronic or punk rock depending on whom you're referring to. For many of the artists it is their last show of 2011 (Tic Tic Boom!, Odd Modern, Standing Shadows) and for one, Odd Modern, it is their EP release show as well. Its also their drummer Gerardo's birthday.

If the holidays weren't enough reason to celebrate - we're certainly giving you a few more. Join Odd Modern as they celebrate a whole host of events (EP release, birthday, holidays) and join us as we rejoice in an excellent 2011. Find Boom D during Tic Tic Boom!'s set early on and rejoice in a complimentary drink courtesy of the SUPERGOOD founder himself. Once he spends a few $100s on you fans though, he's done being your secret santa of alcohol - so get there early to take advantage!

RSVP via facebook here and get your tickets here via Ticketweb. If you're not yet convinced that The Viper Room is where you need to be come Wednesday, than check out some videos from the performers below:
