Tonight in L.A. (October 10, 2012)

The 10th day of October brings some noteworthy talent to Los Angeles' stages - some right at the apex of their hype (Grimes) and others just trying to keep milking the cow (Madonna).  Both will be spectacles for sure - and Madonna's not an artist to shake a stick at - but do you want to see her at Staples Center?

I'd recommend Grimes as she performs her second sold out event at El Rey Theatre with support from Elite Gymnastics, Myths and Brooke Candy.  Two other acts that are on point right now - Circa Survive and Grizzly Bear -headline tonight too.  Grizzly Bear takes to Greek Theater with Lower Dens opening while Circa Survive stands atop a rock bill with Touche Amore, Balance and Composure and O'Brother at Club Nokia.  







Other fun shows include the filthy beats and danceable tunes of Opiuo and VibeSquad at The Roxy, A House for Lions at The Central SAPC, VUM's release event at The Echo and the indie rock cover stylings of Black Crystal Wolf Kids at The Viper Room.  We've got free tickets to giveaway for Opiuo - so tweet out to us (@supergoodmusic) and @theroxy to enter or email contest@supergoodmusic.com.

Tonight in L.A. - 9.26.2012 Concerts in Los Angeles

Enjoy your last Wednesday of September with the fresh sounds of Weapons of Audio, Peach Kings, Torches and Hey Champ at The Roxy.  Its an eclectic line-up – with the indie rock Outkast-esque Weapons of Audio leading it off and the synthesized pop tunes of Hey Champ closing it out.   The Peach Kings are a charming L.A. flavored indie rock outfit that are worth seeing more than once [she rocks  - promise ;) ] and I’ll be breaking my metaphorical cherry for Torches.  If you’re looking for a dosage of new(er) acts making quality music – head to The Roxy.  Want some free access? Get to twitter and tweet out @supergoodmusic @theroxy @weaponsofaudio @heychampmusic @thepeachkings to enter.  You could also buy tickets here.  

Of course – there are other options too.  Low End Theory hosts Teebs and Astronautica for the beat scene and Iheartcomix presents Django Django, Vinyl Williams and HOTT MT for a party over at The Echo.  

The Features with Army Navy at The Troubadour would be my second pick – you may be familiar with the Some Kind of Salvation Nashville infused indie rock styles that The Features are known for.  Well worth the cost of admission – as are The Killers at Fonda Theatre.
