Tonight in L.A. (February 22, 2013)

--> -->

Amazing how the week flies by in Los Angeles.  To help get you amped for Friday night - check out Viceroy's remix of "This Is How We Do It"

If you want to dance to music like that - head to LURE for Private Label Fridays, where Treasure Fingers throws down along with Oliver and Nick Catchdubs.  For a little filthier bass go a little north of Hollywood Blvd. to Avalon for Jack Beats, Carnage, Whiite and more.

Perhaps you're into bass, but not about those trap beats, in which case the famous Victor Wooten (of Bela Fleck & The Flecktones) at El Rey Theatre might be your sonic treat.  For other amazing musicianship - consider Jon Brion at Largo.

Those looking for the edgy indie bands might want to check out Fartbarf and Breakfast at The Smell.  For the next hot indie pop/jazz, check out Palter Ego and Monte Mar at El Cid.  Westsiders looking to drink and party should consider The Dead Ships at The Central SAPC.   

Other notable shows include Kid Ink continuing to celebrate his rap life at Yost Theater, Coheed & Cambria at The Wiltern and The White Buffalo at Troubadour.  Full list of shows after the videos...

VICE & THE AIR DANCE PARTY SERIES KICKS OFF IN LA TOMORROW NIGHT!

Are you on a budget - but really need a fix of l Iive music and gratis booze?  Well - we've got the solution for you....

Tomorrow night (June 28th), 333Live hosts DJ Sebastien Tellier as part of The Air Launch Parties series.  VICE and Air are kicking their dance party series off in America's EDM epicenter, Los Angeles, to promote "water getting a lot more exciting."  While we're not really sure what that means (we hear its water with alcohol in it) - free booze (Air) and a rare appearance from French electronic artist Sebastien Tellier speak loud and clear.

In conjunction with the launch parties, Air invites audiences to submit a photo for a chance to win a free trip to the series finale in San Francisco. Submit via Facebook, Instagram and Twitter by tagging your photo #AirParties, or visiting Drinkair.com.    You can RSVP by going here: http://rsvp.vice.com/AirParties/

Other parties include Lemonade in Portland on July 13th, Nadastrom, Treasure Fingers and AC Slater at Breathe Lounge in Las Vegas on July 14th, Z-Trip and Sinden in Seattle on July 20th and Surkin and Sinden closing out the series in San Francisco at The Mezzanine on August 2nd. 

Check out Sebastien's video for "Russian Attractions" released earlier this week.

Sunday Funday: The Do Over, Dub Frequency's Guess Event at Drai's and Miami Horror at Dim Mak Cannonball Sundays

Each year - I get uber excited to attend The Do Over - because it is hands down, the best music event in Los Angeles on most Sunday afternoons.   The tunes are always impressive - even though its often a mystery who will be performing - and the crowd 's always eclectic.

Today will be the first time I attend this season - because sadly, the SUPERGOODMUSIC train has not been able to make it yet in 2012.    BUT its a great day for boogying down in Hollyhood because on top of The Do Over, Treasure Fingers performs at Dub Frequency's Guess event at Drai's Hollywood from 12-6 too and then Miami Horror takes over for Dim Mak's Cannonball Sundays later that night.

You can RSVP for all the events - but arriving early is advised....which means, I got to stop typing and get in my ride.  DO OVER - here I come.

The Do Over happens every Sunday in Los Angeles in the summer from 2-10 PM at LURE (formerly Cabana Club) at 1439 Ivar Avenue.  RSVP at thedoover.net/la
