Moon Block: Party in Orange County w/ Crazy After Party in LA

Moon Block has done it again. On Sunday night I made my way out to Fullerton for yet another great Moon Block Party. The show took place at The Continental Room, not to be confused with The Constellation Room at The Observatory in Orange County. This, according to the people at

Friday the 13th with Joyce Manor and The Garden in Pomona

It was the first night of the 2 day affair that landed on Friday the 13th at The Glass House in Pomona.  I arrived in beautiful downtown Pomona just in time to grab a bite at one of their many establishments near the venue before doors opened. The opening band, Upset

Babes in Toyland

Babes in Toyland Still Inspire and Terrify at The Roxy

Kat Bjelland once described Babes in Toyland as “full frontal assault” and after last night, mommy mommy I need an adult. The Roxy was packed to its crusty edges with riot grrrls and boys, riot moms (thanks for the term, Tom Morello), and celebrities alike. Hell, the first person we

The Warlocks and Weed Smoke Don’t Mix at The Bootleg

I was excited to see The Warlocks for the first time. Attendees of Wednesday’s show at The Bootleg Theater in L.A. were treated to a stacked lineup of opening acts in both rooms of the venue. It was a well crafted build up to a band that helped define the

Preview: “Multi Love” from Unknown Mortal Orchestra

It seems like every two years, like clockwork, we are blessed with a new Unknown Mortal Orchestra release.  Music snobs insist on a certain type of consistency without predictability from their favorite artists.  I received an advanced copy of the title track from Unknown Mortal Orchestra’s forthcoming release last week but

Dum Dum Zine Party with TULIPS and So Many Wizards

The dream of the 90’s is alive in Portland Echo Park. Every time I venture into the hipster-friendly, conveniently gentrified, Echo Park, I can’t help but reference this Portlandia bit. It just rings so true here. A print media zine release party, conveniently located next to a record store; the

Bass Drum of Death kill in Long Beach

I’m sure Long Beach has plenty of great bars and venues but lately it seems that Alex’s Bar is really the only one worth going to. Affordable drinks and some of the best line ups I’ve ever seen at a bar. Last night Alex’s Bar brought us a performance from

Printed Matter- LA Art/Book Fair

The LA Art/Book Fair with Thurston Moore and Ho99o9

Los Angeles- our Art, Literature, Music, Culture and Tacos Can No Longer Be Easily Dismissed L.A. is in the midst of a renaissance.  While most might call it gentrification, those people are not in the trenches that are being filled with artists, students, activists, authors and poets.  While Manhattan and even

PPL MVR at Bardot: The Mystery Deepens

Spoiler alert; PPL MVR are insane. Upon sinking into the jam-packed crowd at the opulent Bardot Lounge in Hollywood, it became apparent that something was in the air aside from the looming second hand, cancer inducing cigarette smoke that slowly wafted out of the pseudo open air venue.  From the
