Tonight in L.A. (February 20, 2013)

Blast is out, "Hangin Out" vibes permeate the SGM office and there are plenty of concerts to be excited about this Wednesday night.

Indie fam can get down to any number of happenings including Psychic Friend's record release party at The Satellite, which gets an extra kick of awesome from Sarah Silverman.  Around the corner, Los Globos plays host to Vinyl Williams and HOTT MT.  





Head a little west and you'll find The Eli James Experience beating drums at King King Club (for free) and The Neighbourhood at the upscale and exclusive SoHo House.

For the grimier set, Low End Theory gets visited by Faltydl, Giraffage and Kone and Japanther busts open The Smell.  For more suit and tie type sonics - world renowned ukulele artist Jake Shimabukuro brings his talents to the Grammy Museum.

Tonight in L.A. (January 24, 2013)

Finally back in Los Angeles for more than five minutes - which means SUPERGOOD will be hitting the pavement, NAMM and venue bars to indulge in the finest of musical offerings.    Tonight - its time to go underground for some classic hip-hop.

Former Def Jux act, Cannibal Ox reunite for a performance at The Roxy that celebrates more than a decade since the release of Cold Vein.  They've been joined nationally by Chicago veteran rapper Keith Masters, whose "Game Day: Pt II" has been a football friendly synch all year long - but in LA the show gets an extra dosage of street from the illest Jewish rapper in Koreatown - Kosha Dillz.  To participate in a contest to get on the guest list - tweet out @theroxy @supergoodmusic @koshadillz @keithmasters #cannibaloxreuniontour - and maybe you'll win a pair of tickets!

On the westside, there is more underground chemistry, but of the electronic and beat variety in the form of Break Science's late show at The Central SAPC.  They're joined by Continuum (jobot Live) - doors are at 10.

Muse rocks Staples Center for proper if you are looking for an entertainment spectacle.  Support from Band of Skulls means it should be solid from opening to close.

Other notable shows include Nia Andrews at Del Monte Speakeasy, a free performance from FIDLAR at Amoeba Records, Sarah Silverman at Largo and Ours with Lady Sinatra and The Diamond Light at The Viper Room.

Tonight in L.A. (Thursday December 20, 2012)

Your final night before the last day of the work at least gives you a few options for fresh watercooler conversation since you’ve probably already talked about vacation three times this week. 

Legends are present on stages in the Sunset Strip/West Hollywood region when Bootsy Collins hits Key Club and Bob Weir, Jackson Browne, Mike Campbell and more perform at Troubadour and Camp Freddy most certainly turns out something epic at The Roxy. 

The beatacue is present further east – over at Echoplex - Shlohmo, RL Grime and Groundislava put things down, and the Versus party at The Central SAPC does the same for the westside set.

Tonight in L.A. (December 10, 2012)

Its another week of holiday parties and scrambling to make sure you see everyone before they leave town and enter the entertainment industry dark weeks.  Perhaps you'll find them at the Hurricane Sandy comedy benefit going on downtown at Club Nokia with the likes of Will Ferrell, Aziz Ansari, Sarah Silverman and more.  Or maybe a local concert like Jhameel's residency at Bootleg with support from the feisty up and coming indie-dance act Mind The Gap?  Or maybe they'll be Robert Raimon Roy's record release party at The Standard Hollywood (listening begins at 10:15?  Or maybe they'll be somewhere else....

If its somewhere else I might recommend Eastern Conference Champions and Bixby Knolls at The Echo, because its free or Bonhom, Diwon, E-Train, Palter Ego and Neutron at The Central SAPC because its festive and lots of jewish artists will be celebrating with Hannukah performances.
