Step Into The Black Music Series

Thursday June 28th is kind of a wild night in LA for free music and complimentary booze - on top of the VICE/AIR event with Sebastien Tellier (we posted on it yesterday), the STEP INTO THE BLACK MUSIC SERIES, curated by the Fader team and sponsored by Captain Morgan Black Spiced Rum, stops at new West Hollywood enclave Bootsy Bellows on their ten week, ten city tour.  The night will feature a special performance from The Afghan Whigs and a DJ set from Yung Skeeter - as well as a visit from the Inn N Out Truck!

In addition to the free music and booze, attendees may also be interested in acquiring a copy of the Step Into The Black limited edition vinyl.  Fear not - because we are giving a copy away - just email contest@supergoodmusic.com to get in on that action.  If vinyl isn't your thing (or you can't make it), anyone can download exclusive MP3s from the performances at Captain Morgan's Facebook page: http://on.fb.me/CaptainMorganBlack

Krissy Krissy - "Dream"

Low budget video.  Surprisingly catchy hook.  Singing real truth.  #supergoodmusic

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.

Hip Hop Dopeness At Echoplex (Tomorrow) and On Conan (Tonight)

As part of his promotional tour for the hugely acclaimed self produced "Cancer 4 Cure" album - El-P is making a stop at Echoplex on Thursday night for a special Check Yo Ponytail 2 performance that also includes MC's Killer Mike, Mr. Muthafuckin Exquire and Despot.

El-P - the MC, producer, co-owner of Def Jux, entrepreneur extraordinaire with plenty of skin in the game - really brought it with his latest release, which includes hard cuts like "The Full Retard" (see below).   You can sample the potential of his live show by tuning into Conan O'Brien tonight on TBS at 11 PM to see him perform "Works Every Time" with guest vocals from Zola Jesus.

SUPERGOOD strongly endorses just picking up tickets to the event because the line-up is pretty f'ing hot with Killer Mike, Exquire and Despot all hitting the stage as well.  Killer Mike's new record R.A.P. (also produced by El-P) features punishing, aggressive flows that are a departure from candy top 40 rap, Exquire was probably the second most buzzed about hip-hop artist at SXSW 2012 and Despot's show is nothing to shy away from either.  Get your tickets for the Echoplex show here - must be 18 or older.

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/

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

This Should Get Packed - Jhameel at On The Rox Tonight

I saw this concert listing and had to do a double take.  Jhameel played a SUPERGOODMUSIC event at The Viper Room in October, opened for Hoodie Allen at El Rey Theatre in March and now he is playing at On The Rox?!?!?!?  Seriously.  It's as if L.A. is just oblivious to Jhameel's amazing drunk performance sessions (see below) or the Roxy talent buyers are just on that 'ish tip before the rest of their Sunset Strip brethren - because this intimate show at such a tiny venue is almost too good to be true.

The set time of 8:15 isn't that awesome - but performances in small places by kick ass musicians generally are - which is why you should bite the bullet, brave the traffic and be on Sunset Strip tonight.

Check out some drunk performances, a nice T-Pain cover and some original videos below:
