Kiev Residency at Bootleg

Quasi-local (OC and Long Beach) act Kiev enjoy the third night of their stellar residency this Monday night at Bootleg. Their Radiohead meets My Morning Jacket meets Medeski Martin & Wood sound recalls all things that are good about music, without any of the pop, begging to be discovered, drivel. These guys make music they like - and they appear to have fun doing it too. Celebrate their latest projects at Bootleg tonight with Miya Folick, The Steelwells, MYPET and DJ Kat Corbett! And, its FREE! 

Los Globos Gets Served (Closes Temporarily)

Rumor on the Sunset Blvd. is that emerging dance club and late night unwind spot, Club Los Globos, closed its doors today after having their dance and live music permits cancelled by the city on October 29, 2012.  Although the motives behind the rescinding of their paperwork are not yet clear to me - local resident discontent probably has something to do with it as the venue caught some flack for its penchant for all night events and intoxicated patrons.    But - what do you expect from a music venue?  

Los Globos was a welcomed addition to the after hours menu of venues, as well as becoming a hub for emerging talent and hot promoters and labels (Iheartcomix, Mad Decent, A Club Called Rhonda, Vice, SMOG and LA Records had each thrown events there).  Owner Steve Edelson made true on his promise of maintaining the club's Latin identity, while simultaneously expanding its musical horizons with a larger dance floor that was DJ friendly and improving the downstairs sound.   Coupled with Edelson's other property holdings in the neighborhood - Globos was shaping up to be a legit force in competing for and hosting late night dance events.

Provided the venue can reacquire their permits, the venue could reopen in as little as 45 days, just in time for holiday celebrations and New Years Eve events.  We're putting in a little SUPERGOOD prayer that the permits are reacquired or reinstated.  Until then - the club remains closed with the exception of private events.

Tonight in L.A. (October 19, 2012)

Its Friday night, and I feel alright, the party's here on the.....eastside actually.  Venues heat up with some steamy steamy music - whether its Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings daptone soul supporting Paul Weller at Greek Theatre or the DJ battle throw down with Morsecode x Waldo, Low Limit x SodaPop, Brrang A Dang, Franki Chan and more at Los Globos.



A little further east in Echo Park - Echoplex plays host to Ultraista and Matthewdavid and things get a little funky upstairs with Rich Medina and Jump n Funk at The Echo. 



Hollywood doesn't disappoint either as the sweet serenading voice of Allen Stone echoes through the chambers of Fonda Theatre with Yuna and Tingsek supporting.  Avalon hosts the heavy bass from Datsik as well as Teravita and Xgore.  





Unfortunately the party doesn't really reach the westside tonight, at least not the best party - but it does get to West Hollywood where Frightened Rabbit plays a sold out show at Troubadour and Foreign Exchange heats up the floor at Key Club.
