Tonight in L.A. (October 19, 2012)

Its Friday night, and I feel alright, the party's here on the.....eastside actually.  Venues heat up with some steamy steamy music - whether its Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings daptone soul supporting Paul Weller at Greek Theatre or the DJ battle throw down with Morsecode x Waldo, Low Limit x SodaPop, Brrang A Dang, Franki Chan and more at Los Globos.



A little further east in Echo Park - Echoplex plays host to Ultraista and Matthewdavid and things get a little funky upstairs with Rich Medina and Jump n Funk at The Echo. 



Hollywood doesn't disappoint either as the sweet serenading voice of Allen Stone echoes through the chambers of Fonda Theatre with Yuna and Tingsek supporting.  Avalon hosts the heavy bass from Datsik as well as Teravita and Xgore.  





Unfortunately the party doesn't really reach the westside tonight, at least not the best party - but it does get to West Hollywood where Frightened Rabbit plays a sold out show at Troubadour and Foreign Exchange heats up the floor at Key Club.

2 Master Bands Perform Together: My Morning Jacket with Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings at Gibson Amphitheatre

One of the best live acts on the scene, My Morning Jacket plays the Universal Gibson Amphitheatre on December 1st with soul revivalists, Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings.

MMJ, led by vocalist/guitarist “YimYames”, does more than just blow you away with their larger than life performance - they test your, the audience’s, concert endurance. With a reputation of playing 2-4 hour-long sets that rumble venues from start to finish, you can expect a long night of high caliber guitar fueled music that won’t have any attendees sitting in their seats. Enjoy a recent performance from Later with Jools Holland.

But this is not a night to miss the opening act. Her royal highness of soul and funk, Sharon Jones will get you amped, sending effervescent vibes to your feet with the help of her illustrious band, The Dap Kings. Despite coming in a small package, this woman knows how to start a giant party. With more energy than those half her age, Sharon Jones cuts a major rug in 4-inch heals, putting many of her young followers to shame.

This night of powerhouse music will most definitely scale your personal concert anthology. It’s not everyday that groups such as My Morning Jacket and Sharon Jones &The Dap Kings play the same show. So, to add to your excitement, SUPERGOODMUSIC is playing Santa (yes, in November) and giving away tickets to a lucky few … e-mail contest@supergoodmusic.com to enter or tweet @supergoodmusic @livenationLA and also visit our facebook page, like it and make a comment about wanting some MMJ tickets.
