Tonight in L.A. (November 5, 2012)

Start the first full week of November with some musical celebrations - whether its the 250th Hunnypot Radio show at The Central SAPC with a DJ Set from Breaking Bad supervisor Thomas Golubic or the launch of The Record Company's residency at The Satellite - Monday the 5th kind of has it going on in LA.

LP and The Diamond Light should deliver at a sold out Troubadour show.  Violinist Emily Wells will impress an iheartcomix crowd at The Echoplex with additional sonic assistance from Dark Dark Dark and M.E.  Don't miss your chance to catch her skills with a bow and strings if you have not yet seen her.  

Newcomers Aer turn out their bubble gum guitarish hip-hop at El Rey Theatre with support from Yonas and David Dallas.   For slightly more conscious rhythmic poetry - Saul Williams will be spitting at The Hotel Cafe.  For a full list of tonight's shows in LA - see below...

Check Yo Ponytail Celebrates 2 Years Next Week

Close followers of the LA live music scene or frequent foot traffickers of Sunset in Silverlake and Echo Park may have noticed an absence of Check Yo Ponytail shows this week - but rest assured, Franki Chan, Danny Johnson and family are not asleep at the wheel.  They are steering their party to an epic two year celebration.  

They've recruited the biggest party animal of them all - Andrew W.K. - to headline their (re)birthday party at The Echoplex that includes additional music from Icona Pop, Diamond Rings, Cherie Lily and Aleister X.  Its 18+ and advance tickets are only $10 - so there is no doubt this thing sells out.  Get your tickets - or try to win them via SUPERGOOD, but we've only got one pair to share so you might just want to buy....If you feel like testing your luck too - just tweet out @checkyoponytail @supergoodmusic @iheartcomix and @andrewWK to enter or email us at contest@supergoodmusic.com.

If you didn't think the epic birthday party was enough of a treat - Iheartcomix is also hosting Dark Dark Dark, Emily Wells and Miss M.E. at The Echoplex on the 5th and Mount Kimbie with Grenier and Groundislava on the 8th at Los Globos.  Look for giveaways to those shows in next week's Concert Blast.

Rage on.  Hard.  W.K.  Style.
