Tonight in L.A. (February 22, 2013)

--> -->

Amazing how the week flies by in Los Angeles.  To help get you amped for Friday night - check out Viceroy's remix of "This Is How We Do It"

If you want to dance to music like that - head to LURE for Private Label Fridays, where Treasure Fingers throws down along with Oliver and Nick Catchdubs.  For a little filthier bass go a little north of Hollywood Blvd. to Avalon for Jack Beats, Carnage, Whiite and more.

Perhaps you're into bass, but not about those trap beats, in which case the famous Victor Wooten (of Bela Fleck & The Flecktones) at El Rey Theatre might be your sonic treat.  For other amazing musicianship - consider Jon Brion at Largo.

Those looking for the edgy indie bands might want to check out Fartbarf and Breakfast at The Smell.  For the next hot indie pop/jazz, check out Palter Ego and Monte Mar at El Cid.  Westsiders looking to drink and party should consider The Dead Ships at The Central SAPC.   

Other notable shows include Kid Ink continuing to celebrate his rap life at Yost Theater, Coheed & Cambria at The Wiltern and The White Buffalo at Troubadour.  Full list of shows after the videos...

Tonight in L.A. (December 11, 2012)

It might be 10 days before the end of the world, it might be 1....or it could be Y2K all over again.  Regardless, seeing live music is usually not a bad idea and tonight there are a few noteworthy performances worth checking out.

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

Its a sexy autumn night in Los Angeles as the air is getting chilly and Chad Valley's vocals get shrilly at Its A School Night at Bardot.  Chad brings his multiple talents as support for Nashville songwriter Erin McCarley, jazzed out indie act Monte Mar and Zac Waters also play.

Flume begins a multiple day run through the LA streets with a DJ set on the westside at Hunnypot Radio’s broadcast from The Central SAPC.  If you haven’t heard his beats – correct that.  Another producer I like, DJ Carnage, drops some freshness at The Roxy along with G. Easy and Kyle a.k.a. K.I.D. 

Guitar licks of Kaki King can be heard at El Rey Theatre – but if you’re looking to rock on a budget, Superhumanoids, Vum and Cayucas at The Echo would be my suggestion.   Laughter?  Russell Brand will put you in check at Largo.
