Take This: Two Tickets To See Kate Tempest at The Constellation Room
Janky Smooth Central Command
March 18, 2017
If you’re ANYTHING like we are, you are thirsty for an artist or musician to say something tangible and inspiring and infuriating on the state of our world. Like they used to. To say the things that so many of us are thinking . The things that so many others say to forget because we can’t change them anyway, when the truth is that if we all descended on the halls of power like a human tidal wave, we could wash away the corruption and indifference to human suffering with the weapon in our wallets. Almost overnight. We think Kate Tempest could very well be that artist and she’s coming to Southern California this week on her first U.S. tour in support of last year’s album, Let Them Eat Chaos. Not only that but she’s being supported by extraordinary beat producer, Boom Bip. Janky Smooth is giving away 2 TICKETS TO SEE KATE TEMPEST AT THE CONSTELLATION ROOM INSIDE THE OBSERVATORY IN SANTA ANA on Wednesday, March 22nd. To win tickets simply follow Janky Smooth on Facebook, IG and/or Twitter and share this post on any or all of those sites. That’s it. Winner will be selected on Tuesday March

Take This: Two Tickets To See Dick Dale Play Malibu Inn/Casa Escobar

Dick Dale is singlehandedly responsible for the entire genre of surf rock. With the HUGE resurgence of the style that is taking place in garages all over the world, it’s important to know it’s roots. Through the 50’s to the present day, his playing is so unique and loud that Leo Fender worked to develop the first ever 100 watt amplifier named the Fender Dual Showman Amp, made specifically for Dick Dale, “The King of Surf Guitar”. At 78 years old, Dick Dale must keep playing shows or he’ll die; literally. In a recent July 29th interview with the Pittsburgh City Paper, Dick Dale revealed that he continues to tour aggressively to “pay for medical patches and pouches” that help him not only live more comfortably after two bouts of rectal cancer, renal failure and severely damaged vertebrae but to get enough of the medical supplies that allow him to sustain his life. That doesn’t stop Dick Dale from shredding that Fender Stratocaster more viciously than anyone on planet earth. Dick Dale is playing the venue formerly known as the Malibu Inn, Casa Escobar on September 19th. Don’t miss your chance to see a living legend of surf guitar play
