Sunday Night Hip Hop Party at The Central SAPC

Its an above average night for underground hip-hop here in Los Angeles as Rhymesayers' champion DJ Abilities headlines a westside bill of emerging MCs at The Central SAPC.  Kicking things off with Scotty The Kid, who has recently been featured on some of Baauer's productions, the energy gets in early.

South African Dean Risko and Minnesota native Reazon continue the verbal joyride until Chicago's bubbly MC E-Train gets fierce in an attempt to wreck the discotech.  He's followed by Beyond Kings and then Koreatown's favorite Jewish rapper, Kosha Dillz.  Then the Rhymesayers' crew has at it for a few hours with Maulskull, Sadistik and the talented Abilities.

Get your tickets in advance here , otherwise they are $10 at the door.  Turn up.

Los Angeles Tonight (March 2, 2013)

Its a gorgeous L.A. Saturday - with plenty to enjoy daytime, and a nice serving of music for your evening plans.  If you want to get the music started early - the place to be is Topanga Canyon for The Ranch Party.  With the recent line-up addition of Goldroom, the inaugural festy event is now ripe with a who's who of emerging LA talent and also includes a nice headlining set from OFWGKTA act The Internet.  Local flavor like Dustbowl Revival, The Record Company, Terraplane Sun and more also play - so pack a hoody, a blanket and get ready to party.





If that seems like too much - you could dance the night away with STS9 at Hollywood Palladium - Tycho supports.  Same could happen at The Echo at Funky Sole with Oliver Wang.  Arrive before 11 and that is FREE.





Hip hop fans can see the legendary Rakim joined by Evidence at The Observatory and close by indie fans get Gold Fields, A Silent Film and Royal Teeth at The Constellation Room.  We also recommend STRFKR at Fonda Theatre and Ryan Bingham with honeyhoney at House of Blues Anaheim.  Full list of tonight's shows below...

Tonight in L.A. (February 26, 2013)

Its not your average Tuesday this 26th of February because Check Yo Ponytail hits The Echoplex with an amazing line up and Dim Mak Studios is turning things up Jet Life style.   For the uninitiated - let's decipher.

Franki Chan's Check Yo Ponytail party very often takes the cake as the top live music event on any given night that its going down - but tonight's extravaganza at The Echoplex with Com Truise, XXYYXX, Teen Daze and Penthouse Penthouse should be extra special.  Tickets are limited, so if you were not able to cop one - then definitely consider swinging to Dim Mak Studios where emerging newcomer Goldroom, Viceroy and Ghost Beach will be laying down a high quality dance party soundtrack.  Anyone who peeped Viceroy's recent series of Jet Life remixes of the likes of B.I.G., Montell Jordan and Mark Morrsion should know what I am talking about.

Elsewhere in the Holly-hood, Skye of Morcheeba hits The Hotel Cafe's stage, Falling Still performs at Hemingway's and Diddy rages at Supperclub.

Tonight in L.A. (February 25, 2013)

Post Oscar hangovers give rise to the realization that it is actually a full work week this week.  And while that seems daunting, finding some quality act to see this Monday night in Los Angeles is not.  With some great residencies closing the books on their February run - it might be wise to catch those weekly parties before they change casts.  

The Mowgli's enlisted The Diamond Light, Zak Waters, Lisa Donnelly and DJ Jason Kramer to end things at The Satellite on a high note.  A House for Lions did the same by recruiting Max and The Moon, The Peach Kings and The Cerny Brothers.   Dance party starter Mystery Skulls hauled in Ghost Beach, Gangplans and DJ Holloweyed to Bootleg Bar to end his run there. 

Elsewhere Hunnypot Radio broadcasts out of The Central SAPC with a tasty set from rising indie electro pop rockers Mind The Gap, Del The Funky Homosapien drops some FREE raps on the Slidebar crowd, Jeff Garlin makes people laugh as he converses with Aziz Ansari at Largo and last but not least, Chief and Warships deliver a dosage of indie to It's A School Night at Bardot.
