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!

Doheny Days This Weekend



Looking for some fun at the beach this weekend? Well cruise on down to Doheny State Beach September 10 & 11 for the Doheny Days Music Festival in Dana Point, California. This two day festival event features over 20 artists drawing from a variety of genres, including rock, reggae, chill-hop, jam and more.


Day 1 (Saturday) features Ben Harper, G. Love and Special Sauce, Blitz The Ambassador, Donovan Frankenreiter and much more! Personally I most look forward to G. Love and Special Sauce as I've been jamming out to their tunes since grade school and it is impressive to see the longevity of their career. Also JJ Grey & Mofro play some pretty bad ass bluesy rock that doesn't quite sound like anything else out there.


However it gets even better on Day 2 of Doheny Days Music Festival with Weezer, Ziggy Marley, Cake, Hyper Crush, Neon Trees and much more jamming out on Sunday. If I had to choose between attending on Saturday or Sunday, I would take Sunday in a heartbeat as Weezer's classic material is infectious, Neon Trees and Cake will certainly rock the fest, jamming out to Ziggy Marley always invites a mellow mood and dancing to some electronic pop from Hyper Crush could be the perfect end to a weekend.


This is one of the more affordable music festival choices to come our way, so I recommend looking into tickets if any of the artists pique your curiosity.
