Tonight in L.A. (February 25, 2013)

Post Oscar hangovers give rise to the realization that it is actually a full work week this week.  And while that seems daunting, finding some quality act to see this Monday night in Los Angeles is not.  With some great residencies closing the books on their February run - it might be wise to catch those weekly parties before they change casts.  

The Mowgli's enlisted The Diamond Light, Zak Waters, Lisa Donnelly and DJ Jason Kramer to end things at The Satellite on a high note.  A House for Lions did the same by recruiting Max and The Moon, The Peach Kings and The Cerny Brothers.   Dance party starter Mystery Skulls hauled in Ghost Beach, Gangplans and DJ Holloweyed to Bootleg Bar to end his run there. 

Elsewhere Hunnypot Radio broadcasts out of The Central SAPC with a tasty set from rising indie electro pop rockers Mind The Gap, Del The Funky Homosapien drops some FREE raps on the Slidebar crowd, Jeff Garlin makes people laugh as he converses with Aziz Ansari at Largo and last but not least, Chief and Warships deliver a dosage of indie to It's A School Night at Bardot.

Tonight in L.A. (February 19, 2013)

The launch of a shorter work week is never cause for too much excitement - but L.A.'s entertainment options tonight are.  

Fans of brass get a healthy dosage of it from Sexmob at The Mint for their special Sexmob Plays Fellini experience.  We're dropping a pair of tickets on some lucky winner so tweet out @supergoodmusic @mintLA to join the action or just email contest@supergoodmusic.com.




For other eclectic sounds - consider French Horn Rebellion's live set at Dim Mak Studios, where they are joined by Blende and a few others. Ryat and Rainbow Arabia get sonically eclectic at Los Globos.  





If you want to laugh til your face hurts - I must suggest Nick Kroll and Friends at Largo.   If his show on Comedy Central remotely reflects what goes down live, you may want to wear a diaper...

Tonight in L.A. (December 22, 2012)

Its not an ordinary Saturday night this 22nd...because you've got no work on Monday and Tuesday most likely, which means the turn up can get extra real. 

 If you need a little musical guide - we strongly recommend G Pen Presents a TI$A Christmas Party with Cam'Ron, Problem, Casey Veggies, Overdoz and TY$ + special guests.  Trill.  Dope.  G.  All accurate descriptions of what will ensue at 5176 Santa Monica Blvd.

Dillon Francis spearheads a beatdown at El Rey Theatre - but its sold out, so good luck getting in.  No great substitute exists, but Infected Mushroom will keep the Avalon's dancefloor pulsating and Chuck Inglish and Jack Dvy provide a good soundtrack for a night at The Central SAPC.

Mickey Avalon gets weird and raunchy at Saint Rocke, Funky Sole keeps eastsiders old school half stepping at The Echo and Tenacious D evokes laughter at Largo.  A complete list of Saturday night entertainment in L.A. is below...

Tonight in L.A. (December 21, 2012)

Close the books, clear the e-mail, say your holiday goodbyes, make that final phone call...and then run through this list of concerts to pick your last live entertainment of the year.

Funk heads get a treat from The Meters' Leo Nocentelli at The Mint, or can go for something a bit more raw at The Central SAPC with Chali 2na and The House of Vibe All-Stars.



Fans of the guitar can enjoy Jon Brion's final Largo show of the year, another installment of the legendary Camp Freddy at The Roxy or a sold out Black Rebel Motorcycle Club throwdown at Troubadour.



If you want some filthy filthy beats - look no further than Dillon Francis at El Rey Theatre with Kill Paris and Paul Devro.  But, if you can't get into that - AraabMUZIK with Baauer, The Killabits and Bird Peterson at Avalon is definitely not a bad substitute.
