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 22, 2013)

Amazing how the week flies by in Los Angeles.  To help get you amped for Friday night - check out Viceroy's remix of "This Is How We Do It"

If you want to dance to music like that - head to LURE for Private Label Fridays, where Treasure Fingers throws down along with Oliver and Nick Catchdubs.  For a little filthier bass go a little north of Hollywood Blvd. to Avalon for Jack Beats, Carnage, Whiite and more.

Perhaps you're into bass, but not about those trap beats, in which case the famous Victor Wooten (of Bela Fleck & The Flecktones) at El Rey Theatre might be your sonic treat.  For other amazing musicianship - consider Jon Brion at Largo.

Those looking for the edgy indie bands might want to check out Fartbarf and Breakfast at The Smell.  For the next hot indie pop/jazz, check out Palter Ego and Monte Mar at El Cid.  Westsiders looking to drink and party should consider The Dead Ships at The Central SAPC.   

Other notable shows include Kid Ink continuing to celebrate his rap life at Yost Theater, Coheed & Cambria at The Wiltern and The White Buffalo at Troubadour.  Full list of shows after the videos...
