Tonight in L.A. (February 6, 2013)

Its a healthy humpday for music in the streets of Los Angeles.  Natives The Pharcyde celebrate their friends and fans with a free show at Key Club - and much further east on Sunset, the Dub Club squad celebrates Bob Marley's Birthday at The Echoplex.

Beats continue per usual at Low End Theory at The Airliner - with Free The Robots, Patrick Sexx and Elan joining the traditional crew of Daddy Kev, Gaslamp Killer and more.  

Delta Rae and ZZ Ward at Troubadour is a hot ticket - which is why it is sold out, but just a little North at The Viper Room, locals Warner Drive stage a return of sunset strip rock and roll.

Tonight in L.A. (January 2, 2013)

Its the first concert update of the year, on the second day of the month, and there are only about three choice recommendations we have for you because there really aren't even that many concerts going on....even The Satellite is dark!

Top on my list would be the launch of Eric McFadden's residency with Wally Ingram, David Graham and Lantz Lazwell.  We're privileged enough to be giving away a set of tickets to the residency - so holler at us on twitter with a @supergoodmusic and @mintLA mention or email us at contest@supergoodmusic.com.



On the other end of the spectrum, where you won't find many guitars, is Low End Theory at The Airliner with Dibiase, Mike Gao and Lebeatski or Dub Club with Anthony B at The Echoplex.  



For some indie steeze - check out The Sister Ruby Band at Silverlake Lounge.

Red Bull Music Academy Presents: Culture Clash w/ SMOG, Dim Mak, Stones Throw & Dub Club

Tonight, LA plays host to the U.S. Debut of Red Bull Music Academy's Culture Clash event. Taking place at Exchange - 4 of the hottest music troupes representing Los Angeles, Dim Mak, Stones Throw, SMOG and Dub Club hit stages for a certainly epic night.

The atmosphere will be competitive as the scene-sters compete over the course of four rounds, (although the competition will likely be friendlier than tonight's Cavs vs. Heat post "Decision" match up). For each round, the crowd will register their vote(s) on a handful of criteria - including measured cheers and applause. After warming up their respective stages with 15 minute set, the first round will judge the musicians ability to "select" the right tunes. The second round focuses on the entertainment factor and is expected to feature special guests. The third round stretches the musicians knowledge of other genres - having them stretch from their traditional outfits. The fourth (and final) round, also known as the "banger round," requires the music teams to bring their most raucous sets and baddest tunes to win over the crowd.

The night will be hosted by MC Commander - who will lead Dim Mak (electro), Dub Club (roots reggae), Smog (dubstep) and Stones Throw (funk/soul/hip-hop) through their battles over their respective soundsystems. For those unfamiliar with traditional sound clashes, each collective supplies their own sound system for the event.

With staple LA resident DJ artists like Them Jeans (Dim Mak Tuesdays), Thee Mike B (Cannonball Sundays at Drais), DJ Fashen (Cannonball Sundays at Drais), Tom Chasteen (Dub Club), Roy Corduroy (Dub Club), Dam Funk (Funkmosphere) - you know the music will be the sort of stuff that keeps LA crowds moving. Throw in some more name brand artists like 12th Planet (Smog), Peanut Butter Wolf (Stones Throw), Craze (Smog), Mayer Hawthorne (Stones Throw) and whomever Dim Mak's special guest is (or guests are) and you've got one hell of a show.

Don't miss it. Buy tickets here. (UPDATE: 10:40 am - TICKETS ARE SOLD OUT)

And, FYI, cop your tickets now because I heard it might sell out! If for some reason you can't make it, but you want to check out some DJ mashed music - DJ Quickie Mart plays his last show at Air Conditioned Lounge on Lincoln Blvd. in Venice.
