Tonight in L.A. (February 6, 2013)


Its a healthy humpday for music in the streets of Los Angeles.  Natives The Pharcyde celebrate their friends and fans with a free show at Key Club - and much further east on Sunset, the Dub Club squad celebrates Bob Marley's Birthday at The Echoplex.


Beats continue per usual at Low End Theory at The Airliner - with Free The Robots, Patrick Sexx and Elan joining the traditional crew of Daddy Kev, Gaslamp Killer and more.  


Delta Rae and ZZ Ward at Troubadour is a hot ticket - which is why it is sold out, but just a little North at The Viper Room, locals Warner Drive stage a return of sunset strip rock and roll.

SSMF - Day 1 Recap of The Doors/Day 2 - Rap on The Strip

Sunset Strip Music Festival 2012 is now well under way...

A serious tribute to The Doors, which included Ray Manzarek playing a keys solo on "Light My Fire" as if he'd never play again, upped the bar on this still young festival.   Joined by a parade of musicians including Billy Morrison, Matt Sorum, Mark McGrath, Emily Armstrong (Dead Sara), Linda Perry and Franky Perez - as well as Door's members Bobby Krieger and John Densmore - the third SSMF launched with a big blast off.

Early close time at the Tribute meant other Sunset Strip enclaves opened their doors to the parade of festival-goers for the likes of Lady Sinatra at The Viper Room, Peter Murphy at The Roxy and more.  Finding my way over to The Viper Room - Murphy's vocals pierced the air for a crowded house of rock fanatics and I got spent on a bit of a Roxy family celebration.  Big shout outs to @nicadler for not only operating one of L.A.'s top venues and being so hospitable, but for also playing such an instrumental role in bringing the entire Sunset Strip Music Festival (@ssmf) together.

Tonight Festival goers can grab a healthy dosage of hip-hop - from Hollywood scene rapper Mickey Avalon at The Viper Room to the Shaolin stylings of RZA at Key Club.  RZA will be joined by rising Jewish MC and freestyle entertainer - Kosha Dillz - so make sure to get their early....

Peep videos from RZA, Mickey and Kosha Dillz here.
