Weapons of Audio On NBC & Premier Music Video for "Night Light"

Today's a big day for emerging local Los Angeles duo, Weapons of Audio, whose song "Night Light" is featured on tonight's episode of NBC's Being Human and whose video for the same just dropped.  The mini movie for the dance floor party starter "Night Light" features the brothers in a dreamy tripped out psychedelic night of ecstasy.

Directed by Jesus "Demonbabies" Rivera of LA's IHEARTCOMIX & Check Yo Ponytail fame - its a sexy tale of where the night can take you.

"Night Light" is included on Weapons of Audio's new EP Girl Crazy, coming out sometime later in 2013.  The EP is produced by W.O.A and features collaborations with producers Graham Marsh (Cee-Lo Green, Gnarls Barkley), producers Kyle Dreaden and Zak Ray of the Atlanta Creative Collective "Pack Life". 

Tonight in L.A. (January 21, 2013)

Start the week with some Monster madness at Lady Gaga's extravaganza at Staples Center with the youthful energy of producer Madeon and additional support from Starlight.

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!

TURNT UP: New Filth from Just Blaze & Baauer!

Its super real in 2013, which is why everyone should be getting "Higher" ... of course I mean this ill track by Just Blaze and Baauer.   The traptastic anthem steps into the echelon of party music from its opening drops with vocal samples courtesy of Hova himself - Jay-Z.  These two hot producers made sure underground clubs and dance floors will in fact be rocking with the best on their fiercely bass heavy track.   If there was a dictionary that used songs rather than words for definitions - you'd find this under the entry "turnt up" - its just that filthy.  

Check it out and get your January playlists bumping hard.  

Tonight in L.A. (January 17th)

Not a ton to love about the concert options tonight in L.A., but a few gems exist and there is plenty of local talent to discover.

Catch Yo La Tengo for free at Amoeba records, Hollywood's elite can ride the Sea Wolf at SoHo and Drop The Lime hopefully dirties the dance floor at Detroit Bar.
