That Whole Funk....Nothing But The Funk All Month at The Mint

July isn't just heating up on the streets - its also heating up inside the venues, especially at The Mint where Galactic's Stanton Moore holds down their increasingly popular residency series.

Tonight he is joined by The Greyboy All-Stars' Robert Walter (keys) and Elgin Park (guitar).  Park also just happens to be an accomplish composer by the name of Mike Andrews, whose music is in just about every Judd Apatow production you've ever seen.

If you are not already excited - you either don't like funk, you care little for musical accolades or you're probably doing something ridiculously awesome tonight elsewhere.  But if you're just a little bit intrigued - read on...



Its not your average Wednesday over on Pico in July.  Stanton Moore is a doctor of funk drumming - an industry accepted all star.  His sticks are good.  Rhythm impeccable.  And enthusiasm undeniable.  He is teaching some seminars before the shows - and then showcasing why he is qualified to do so afterward.  Whether tonight - or some other July Wednesday, don't miss your chance to witness greatness.

Express Yourself @diplo TwitPic Craze

Diplo's foray into New Orleans bounce music has pioneered not only new territory for him as a producer - but also in the virility of TwitPics and Instagrams of women worldwide putting booties and legs up for a chance at a split second of RT fame.  

Go to twitter and look for hashtag #expressyourself or just follow @diplo on twitter if you want to see some international ass.

Haven't enjoyed Diplo's latest sounds?  Its definitely a song of summer 2012.  Cop "Express Yourself" here.

Luxury (Sound) Bites from Royal Teeth - New Dangerbird Act in LA This Week

Esteemed Bayou-based talent Royal Teeth started their summer celebrating the release of their debut studio record, Act Naturally, on LA based Dangerbird Records.  The candy indie electro pop is definitely edgier live - which is why you can't miss your chance to catch them here in Los Angeles as they parade through The Satellite and The Library at The Redbury.

The vocal duo of Gary Larsen and Nora Patterson shine on this genre melting project that certainly doesn't sounds a bit more LA than NOLA.  Lead single "Wild" is only a sampling of the flavors they have on their record, which includes a sexified version of The Knife's "Heartbeats" that they sunk their proverbial Teeth into.

You can enjoy their delicious poppy delights at The Satellite tonight as JJAMZ close out their free June residency.   Hopefully they include a cover of "Heartbeats" at the performance- because they certainly do it justice.
