Los Angeles Tonight (March 31, 2013)

Its the final day of March and with a rather thin concert line-up, it may be time for some spring cleaning and Easter/Passover reflection.  Once you've hunted for those eggs (hopefully Hunter S. Thompson style), indulged in enough shank bone and bitters, or gotten your spot so fresh and clean - maybe you'd consider checking out Chuck Inglish's Sounds Like Fun at The Central SAPC.  The monthly hip-hop gathering hosted by The Cool Kid is slowly becoming a staple of the L.A. hip-hop circuit.

Wax Idols at The Echoplex and Dim Mak's Easter Sunday party at Drais are also worthy of mention.  Full list of tonight's shows below...

Los Angeles Tonight (March 30, 2013)

It's Saturday and there's a ton going on in Los Angeles this weekend. So unless you pull for one of the eight teams left in the NCAA's you have no reason to stay inside.  Kansas fans, this means you (Go Blue).

I digress, on to the music...

If you're on the Westside tonight, get your butts over to the Santa Monica Pier to see Poolside and Yacht, as it's shaping up to be a lovely evening weather-wise.  You could even win a set of tickets via our giveaways page.  Just tweet @SUPERGOODMUSIC, @JAMINTHEVAN, @POOLSIDE, #SaMoPier to enter. Or email Contests@SUPERGOODMUSIC.com with the subject "Poolside."

That party keeps going afterwards with DJ sets over at the Pier Carrousel.





The Last Bison are playing The Mint tonight and we highly recommend going to check out this on the rise Americana act.  They have some steam behind them and this might be a chance encounter to see them in such an intimate venue.



If you're looking for something low key and low cost then the Sound City screening at The Bootleg Theater is probably right up your alley.  Josh Boyd will be there performing songs from In Utero and Raw Geronimo will perform songs from Fleetwood Mac.

The full list for the day is below, and the rest of the weekend can be found over on our concert BLAST, which you should sign up for if you haven't. Duh.

Giveaway - The Last Bison at The Mint Saturday March 30th

Do you like The Avett Brothers?  The Lumineers?  Heartless Bastards?  Tallest Man on Earth?  Bands that fall into that overly broad but in a good way "Americana" category?  If so, then you may want to jump on The Last Bison bandwagon as soon as possible.  Lucky for you we're giving away a pair of tickets to do just that at The Mint LA this Saturday, March 30.   To win just tweet at "@SUPERGOODMUSIC, @JamintheVan, @MintLA, @TheLastBison #LastBison, or email us at Contests@SUPERGOODMUSIC.com with The Last Bison in the subject.

There's a good chance that this band, who is signed to Universal Music Group, takes off in the next year, so catching them in an intimate venue like The Mint might be worth its weight in "remember when" stories come next year.  Dig on their video for a cover of M83's "Midnight City" as well as their full album over on their Bandcamp.
