Dirt, Riff Raff & Milanokis...

A song called "Bong Hits" might grab your attention even if it doesn't sound that great at the beginning.   Without their pre-existing fame, I'm inclined to think music (or a group) like this would be turned down at Mad Decent's doorstop.   But Riff Raff, Dirt Nasty and Andy Milanokis' super-group Three Loco is pioneering the new streets of quirk hop that was once the battleground of lesser known underground lyrical talents like Kosha Dillz and MC Lars.   Watch out Das Racist - there's a new trio in funny rap.

Check your pockets for your pills and your stash because Three Loco's on the loose....

Tonight in L.A. (October 14, 2012) - A Low Budget Dose

Its Sunday.  I'm feeling lazy watching these great football games - so I won't get too much into who to go see other than recommending three shows for tonight in LA:

First has to be the deliciously talented Robert Raimon Roy supporting the hilariously entertaining Das Racist at The Roxy.  Its an Iheartcomix event - so you know it will be popping and that all the other support will deliver something worth remembering.  Combining their choice talent selection with the sounds and intimacy of The Roxy should yield a rock solid night of neo hip-hop mayhem.  Don't miss it.  Get your tickets here....

The second show I'd be itching to go to is SBTRKT with Syd The Kid at Club Nokia.  Beats will be plentiful.



The third show - The Smashing Pumpkins at Gibson Amphitheatre.  I'd like to hear an argument against going to catch Mr. Billy Corgan get down.

Oh yes...in less than 48 hours SUPERGOODMUSIC begins its annual trek to SXSW. For 2012 - we decided to go HAM with our pals Heard Entertainment and RootMusic. We've got a venue for 9 days at 604 and 606 E. 7th Street with lots of crazy talent to make your body move, head spin and keep your ears happy. AND the announcements are just starting to roll out....including this epic one.

We couldn't be more proud to be partnered with The Roxy, one of the highlights of LA's live music culture, on their Austin Rox event on Thursday March 15, 2012. AustinRox is typically one of my highlights of SXSW too - so Nic Adler and crew are obviously doing something right.

Das Racist Funny Raps at Echoplex This Tuesday

Animated funny rappers Das Racist return to Los Angeles to grace Echoplex's stage for what hopes to be another night of swagged out hip-hop and hilarity at Check Yo Ponytail 2. If their pseud0-hit "Michael Jackson" and its music video (above) are any sort of harbinger - the trio will likely succeed in delivering just that.

We're making it a bit easier for you to indulge in their antics by giving away a couple pairs of tickets to those of you that let it be known exactly why you should be there. Broadcast your sentiments to the world in a comment on our facebook page, via twitter (make sure to tag @supergoodmusic & @theechoLA) or privately by emailing contest@supergoodmusic.com. We'll pick and notify the winners sometime before noon the day of the show.

Das Roxy

Had the privilege of attending a near capacity Das Racist and Danny Brown show on Thursday night at the esteemed Roxy. While it may not have been the most epic show I've ever seen there - the eclectic hip-hop group brought their unique energy and lyrics to the stage, all draped with ethnically diverse swag.

With swirling Bart Simpson visuals and lots of movement on stage, you may have thought you or the act was on drugs. While I can't confirm or deny the latter - the visual frenzy and frenetic energy excited the crowd - which was packed in to absorb the stylings of Heems, Kool A.D. and Dap. My favorite was, of course, "You Oughta Know" with the Billy Joel sample. Clearly its not on Relax, their official commercial release which dropped on September 13, 2011, but a handful of the material was including "Power" - the song that featured touring mates Danny Brown and Despot.

Das Racist still is growing as a performance group - but their chemistry is apparent and they're clearly having fun. If you missed them this week - don't sleep on them next time as I'm sure it will be another amazing line-up.

You can buy Relax on CD or vinyl here.

For other upcoming stacked hip-hop shows - consider Method Man, Curren$y and Big Krit tonight at The Music Box and DJ Abilities, Binary Star (Reunion Show!) and Kosha Dillz with support from Azad Right, E-Train and Jayk Gallagher at The Viper Room on Tuesday. Tickets for that can be found here.

Theophilus London Plays Free Show Tonight; Other Hip-Hop In Town

If your Thursday night is still open, then consider yourself lucky because, the Avalon is the place to be and you are invited free of charge. Chegg, Live Nation, and College Battle proudly present the Textbooks and Tickets tour featuring live performances by Theophilus London (in video below), MNDR, Milkman, college battle finalist Rozzi Crane and more special guests. Adding even more fuel to this night of exceptional hip-hop are DJ sets by Ben Oprstu and Burn Unit.

I've been told by respected concert goers that Theophilus has really amped up his game and his live show has improved - so we're going to give him another shot. MNDR is fun and we'll withhold judgment on the rest until we catch their show. If you can't make it to Avalon - or are looking for something at a smaller venue - The Dean's List plays Key Club and Das Racist, Danny Brown and Despot are at The Roxy tonight.

For free admission, make sure to RSVP/ Doors open at 8pm
