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

Its 12.12.12.  I'm not feeling apocalyptic.  The end didn't happen...yet.  But it might be near.  At least that's what you'll hear if you go see 12th Planet at Exchange LA along with Two Fresh, Clicks & Whistles, Salva and Dallas K.  The bass drops will be heavy.





There will probably be heavy bass at Barrington Levy at Echoplex, although quite a different sort in the form of reggae vibes.  Also on the eastside you can catch The Soft Moon and Vinyl Williams at The Echo or Das Tapes at The Satellite.

Personally I like the sophista-funk of Dragon Smoke at The Mint featuring Ivan Neville, Stanton Moore, Eric Lindell and Robert Mercurio.  The half Galactic, half just awesome superband will probably do things on stage that blow the average concert goers mind - but don't take my word for it.  See for yourself.  We have a pair of tickets to give away so just holler at us at contest@supergoodmusic.com.



Up in the West Hollywood region Bondax, Kingdom and Bones bring electronic stylings to The Roxy, Shwayze does his southern California hip soul at The Viper Room and The Tragically Hip try to impress at House of Blues - Sunset.  Last but not least - JMSN and Meg Myers perform at Troubadour.Dragon 



Other notables include Alt-J and Wildcat! Wildcat! at Fonda Theatre and Prodigy and Alchemist at The Observatory and of course 12.12.12. at Low End Theory with Peanut Butter Wolf and 11 other DJs each spinning 12 records.  A full list of shows tonight is below...

Tonight in L.A. - 9.26.2012 Concerts in Los Angeles

Enjoy your last Wednesday of September with the fresh sounds of Weapons of Audio, Peach Kings, Torches and Hey Champ at The Roxy.  Its an eclectic line-up – with the indie rock Outkast-esque Weapons of Audio leading it off and the synthesized pop tunes of Hey Champ closing it out.   The Peach Kings are a charming L.A. flavored indie rock outfit that are worth seeing more than once [she rocks  - promise ;) ] and I’ll be breaking my metaphorical cherry for Torches.  If you’re looking for a dosage of new(er) acts making quality music – head to The Roxy.  Want some free access? Get to twitter and tweet out @supergoodmusic @theroxy @weaponsofaudio @heychampmusic @thepeachkings to enter.  You could also buy tickets here.  

Of course – there are other options too.  Low End Theory hosts Teebs and Astronautica for the beat scene and Iheartcomix presents Django Django, Vinyl Williams and HOTT MT for a party over at The Echo.  

The Features with Army Navy at The Troubadour would be my second pick – you may be familiar with the Some Kind of Salvation Nashville infused indie rock styles that The Features are known for.  Well worth the cost of admission – as are The Killers at Fonda Theatre.  

There is a full list of shows below.  Remember to hit twitter or email us at contest@supergoodmusic.com if you want tickets to Hey Champ, Weapons of Audio, Torches and The Peach Kings!
