Los Angeles Tonight (Monday, April 29th)

Booo hooo, the Lakers lost. Get over it by seeing some live music tonight.

For an energetic Monday, Pitchfork's favorite Canadians, Metz, bring their hard-hitting sound to the Troubadour with support from White Lung and Mrs Magician.





KCRW'S It's a School Night is bringing the beats proper this evening with Big Black Delta's record release party going down at Bardot. Shy Girls, Emma Ejwertz and The Last Internationale fill out the bill.





Tonight is Gavin Turek's last night of her April residency at The Bootleg Theatre. Helping Gavin close out the month are Zak Waters, Fellow Bohemian and a special guest is substituting in place of Boom D, who is stuck in NOLA.





Don't forget to head on out to the West side this coming weekend and join us at the Cinco de Mayo bash "El Dia De La Heady." Lagunitas and Sailor Jerry are providing libations, The Record Company, The Dustbowl Revival, Ivory Deville, The Dead Ships, The Diamond Light and Highway Poets are providing the tunes, and, most importantly, Jam in the Van is providing the headiness. Hope to see you all out there.

Tonight in L.A. (November 12, 2012)

Start your Monday off right with some good music - whether that's the solid sounds of It's A School Night as they bring in some Los Angeles based acts to celebrate some EP releases (DWNTWN, The Rebel Light) or its the second installment of some eastside residency. 

In terms of residencies - the SUPERGOOD selection goes to The Record Company at The Satellite.  This week they are being presented by Jam In The Van, who will be parked outside the venue, and will also be joined by the bluesy roots vibes of The Dustbowl Revival, The Nervous Wreckords and KCRW personalities Jason Kramer and CJ Valida.  Other resident acts include In The Valley Below at Bootleg and Dream Panther at The Echoplex.





If you're hitting up Mumford and Sons and Dawes at Hollywood Bowl - your after party stop should probably be Bardot.   AM from the duo of Shawn Lee & AM spins under his lesser known moniker George Ben Sun while Sky Ferreira and the aforementioned The Rebel Light and DWNTWN drop some sets on the Hollywood crowd.  Per usual - Chris Douridas will also be providing some of the sonic landscape.

Tonight in L.A. (October 18, 2012)

Staring at the concert calendar has me a bit jealous that I'm in NYC for CMJ as there is a handful of sonic dopeness hitting you Los Angelenos tonight.  

From the massive wobble and bass drops of Bassnectar, Gramatik and Gladkill at Hollywood Palladium to the free indie sounds of Diamond Rings at Amoeba Records - Thursday night is looking good.



The lucky and informed patrons of Troubadour will be indulged by the lovely ZZ Ward - as she headlines a sold out show just two days after the release of her record.  AB & The Sea and Jared Lee support.  Another lovely vocalist - Twin Shadow takes his talent to Fonda Theatre with support from Haim and KCRW's Mario Cotto.  Can't go wrong their either.





For those that work traditional hours and thus might miss Diamond Rings free show at Amoeba - have no fear, they play Mayan later at night with Stars.    While there is not much other music to catch in the downtown neighborhood - head up the 101 to Silverlake or Echo Park and you 'll find The Whigs and The Record Company rocking the Bootleg Bar, comedian Neil Hamburger celebrating 5 years of laughter with friends at The Satellite and Echoplex busting open their new Thursday night FREE speakeasy. 



Other notables include Kendrick Lamar at Fox Theater in Pomona, Los Campesinos! at El Rey Theatre and the weekly VS dance party at The Central SAPC.   We're giving away a pair of tickets for Los Campesinos! so holler at contest@supergoodmusic.com or shout us out on twitter if you're interested.   For a full list of shows - see below.
