Hollywood Brewfest Tomorrow - Its Like Oktoberfest One Month Later...

Maybe you haven't heard, but something Magic is brewing...and its not because it is Friday the 13th. With over 35 breweries, including Magic Hat, Firestone, and Blue Palms Brew House - your taste buds, my taste buds and the taste buds of LA's finest beer drinkers are sure to be satisfied. Doors open at 3 pm and close at 11 pm and admission includes UNLIMITED BEER TASTING. $45 regular and $60 for an upgrade - this is a no brainer folks. You're talking drinking beer for 7-8 hours, when beers at most LA venues cost $6 or more a pop.

To top it off, they've arranged for some amazing music to rock the house too. Samuel Stewart, an up and coming virtuoso you may not have heard of, is going to be playing at 4 pm....which means you should be there early. And why wouldn't you be? It's not like the beer will be getting any colder than it is at 3 pm.

Then you can stick around for the likes of Nico Stai, Castledoor, Dum Dum Girls, Great Northern and one of my favorites, The Deadly Syndrome...who just happened to score the amazing documentary about beer pong - LAST CUP. You can pick up some free TDS tracks from RCRDLBL.com here.

Special Thanks to Planetary Group for their involvement in this event!

SUPERGOOD RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE WEEK

SUPERGOODMUSIC Recommendations
For The Week

For Thursday night I would recommend everyone to go and check out friend of SUPERGOODMUSIC Christopher Hawley at The Mint and if you're up for two shows in one night that are completely different from one another then head over to The Henry Fonda for The Ravonettes. If you're down for the funk and you want to shake your booty all across a dance floor - than hit up Zanzibar for Los Angeles' own Orgone (Ubiquity Records).

(ORGONE)

If you're looking for an evening of electronic hip-hop, then on Friday I would suggest that you make over way over to Echoplex for theThunderheist show. They will be supported by Winter Gloves, Sugar and Gold and Franki Chan so it safe to say that you're dance card will get filled up quickly. If dancing is not in your plans and you're into the lyricism and poetry, than Saul Williams and the Afro Punk Tour at The Roxy might be your best choice.


On Saturday, I hope to find the proper amount of energy to travel over to the Valley and check out MSTRKRFT at The Vanguard. Anytime that I have seen them I have never been disappointed and I really hope I can gather a crew together to venture with.

Sunday is a lazy day for RCA, but I may ditch my Sunday night tv shows for the Mission of Burma show at Echo. I've been a fan of the band for quite some time so I think I may have to fill up my DVR and go see a little music.

If your wallet has been a little empty lately, then head over to Spaceland onMonday night for some free music from The Happy Hollows, The Drums,Evan Way and Random Patterns.

On Tuesday I recommend that everyone find a ticket to Them Crooked Vultures as the super group comprised of Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters, Nirvana), Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), and John Paul Jones (Led Zepplin) play a sold out show at The Wiltern. I don't know much about the band, but from what I hear from a good friend in New York who has seen them live, it's a performance you don't want to miss.

On Wednesday I definitely want to check The Big Pink with Crystal Antlers at The El Rey. If you haven't heard "Dominoes" by The Big Pink then head directly to whatever source you use for free music to hear what is sure to be the Brit-Rock anthem of 2009. And if you are like me (RCA) and you haven't completely written off Chris Brown because of things that have happened in his personal life then head over to the Avalon to see, who I believe, to be the best dancer in music right now. His first single "I Can Transform Ya" off his album Graffiti has been in my head since the first time that I heard it, and I have to say that I'm intrigued to see how he grows from teenage crooner to male superstar.

Blockhead Rolling Heads on the 1800 Block of Sunset - TONIGHT

So Blockhead is bringing his gritty instrumental beatmatician version of hip-hop to the Echo tonight in support of his upcoming release, The Music Scene. You can check out some of his cuts on his myspace page here.

I've been a Blockhead fan since his first release"Music By Cavelight" and, when Downtown Science dropped, I only became more of one. A champion of down-tempo instrumental hip-hop, and an artist signed to Ninja Tune - Blockhead is like a Beethoven of beat making. His instrumental compositions have an ebb and flow that is nothing short of spectacular and I'm sure he will deliver nothing but the illest when he graces the stage of the Echo this evening.

I fully intend to be there, kicking back a PBR and pretending to be the MC that I'm not. Maybe I'll see you there.....

DIMMAK TUESDAYS

Hollywood Music in Media Awards and Conference

Check out this link about the Hollywood Music in Media Awards and Conference. Always good to partake in events that honor the creative individuals that keep the entertainment world so vibrant. This rising industry event takes place the 19th-22nd of November. SUPERGOODMUSIC can unfortunately not attend this event, but it sounds pretty cool.

Check out the feature article about the event here.

Weekend Review

So, for those of you who missed Saint Motel - they absolutely wrecked it at their black and white show. The crowd looked extremely fashionable and thematically appropriate, the Roxy sounded great...but how do you run out of milk for white russians at a Black and White Themed Event? I think in a post Lebowski world - that is an egregious error. Roxy, I love you - but you should've anticipated that everyone likes to drink like The Dude, especially when it is cheaper to do so.

Anyhow, I heard that Nic Hardcourt was in the audience and saying some pretty damn good things about Saint Motel. A & R MySpace Records staple Lindsey Cook had rave reviews for the band too. The entire crowd seemed to be pleased - and it was quite a respectable turnout for these emerging local artists. So, get on top of them before the rest of the world does and see them while they are still playing intimate venues in which you can talk to the amazing band members after the show.

Over the weekend you also could've heard Widespread Panic - in their serious 3 night run at the Orpheum. Although I never made it to any of the shows - rumor from Spreadheads was that the shows were pretty sick, especially Saturday night.

Tonight - SUPERGOOD recommendations include Band of Horses and Warpaint at Club Nokia's 1 Year Anniversary and Imogen Heap at Henry Fonda. Tickets are still available for both events! Alternatively, check out the free Happy Hollows show at Spaceland.

Not Your Average Saturday Night

Saint Motel Presents: The Black & White Show

This post just couldn't wait - it is what I am most excited about for the weekend and it gives me a last chance to throw on a costume since Halloween is my favorite holiday. Saturday night, perhaps the hottest indie-rock band in Los Angeles, Saint Motel brings their colorful performance to The Roxy - for a black and white themed extravaganza. There will be black and white themed drinks, black and white movies, black and white people and black and white outfits. If you don't come, you might wake up black and blue from the other bad mistakes you made.

In addition to the black and white theme, save some green by going to this site for some discounted tickets to the show.

SUPERGOODMUSIC highly recommends you grab tix in advance for the sure to be wild black and white extravaganza as Saint Motel performs for the first time since returning from CMJ.
