MAINTENANT 13: A Journal of Contemporary Dada Writing and Art serves up the controversial theme, “A.I. Artificial Ignorance”. If you think that life as we know it will be destroyed by Artificial Intelligence -Think again!!!! Where’s the intelligence? We’re surrounded and inspired by ignorance. How will this reduction of thought shape the future of interpersonal relations, intellectual advancement, and politics? As we teeter on the brink of redundancy, the concepts of Dada brilliantly encompass the urgency of present times with both clarity and purposeful confusion.
The MAINTENANT series, established in 2005, gathers the work of renowned and emerging dada artists and writers from around the world. The series has been archived in leading international institutions including the Museum of Contemporary Art–New York, the BelVUE Museum–Brussels, and more. Renowned contributors have included artists Mark Kostabi, Raymond Pettibon, Giovanni Fontana, Jean-Jacques Lebel, and Kazunori Murakami. Writers have included Allen Ginsberg, Gerard Malanga, Charles Plymell, Jerome Rothenberg, and more, with a strong contingent of punk musician-artist-writers including Grant Hart, Mike Watt, and Exene Cervenka.

AlongCameLife was raised in Queens, New York. His talents were apparent from an early age when he became one of the youngest students to be accepted to the illustrious, Juilliard School of Music. A multi-talented singer, songwriter and violinist, AlongCameLife is also the Winner of Two EMMY Awards, and the Founder of the famed duo NBS who performed on America’s Got Talent, Dancing With The Stars, The Ellen Show, The Tonight Show, The Today Show, Nick Jr, Fox 5, New York 1 and Page 6. He also performed for President Barrack Obama, and for the Royal Family of Dubai.

AlongCameLife
AlongCameLife has released various albums and now steps up to the plate with a brand new solo 21 track release entitled “Wavees”. Even if it seems like he came out of nowhere, one good listen to AlongCameLife and you know he won’t be a secret for long and is easy to see a legitimate creative core inside the alternative madness collected into “Wavees”.
The album is a blend of diverse sounds in the best possible way. It’s the next step in the musical evolution of Hip-hop. The production here is an intricate mix of rock, soul, classic, alternative and hip-hop all wrapped in a beautiful, and, at times, distorted power package.
AlongCameLife raps, he sings, he plays the violin, but mostly there’s a method to his creative madness – he’s not an artist who lets a single note or beat decide his fate. He transcends them with whatever he is doing – be that rapping, singing or playing. He bends sounds, styles and genres to suit his mood and express himself, in any way that he sees fit.
“Wavees” sounds like a bold experiment of musical inspiration. The album shines brightest when AlongCameLife indulges in his atmospheric and trippy neo-soul inclinations on tracks like “Coolin”, “Don’t You Know Me”, “Flying”, “What Up What Up”, “Sert” and “Fire”.
But with 21 tracks available, the choices are plenty. It’s also emblematic that the fastest track on the entire album is called “Nice N Slow”. Often bathed in heavy doses of reverb and echo, AlongCameLife’s vocals bring a strong flavor of shoegazing, dream pop and trip-hop to the recording. These are sounds you will hardly hear on any other rap or hip-hop album – setting him apart from the pack.
That AlongCameLife isn’t your traditional rapper or urban music artist, becomes more than evident throughout the one-and a-half hour duration of this album. He doesn’t confine himself to the rules of making conventional urban music. He breaks those rules then writes his own, and if you can see past the sometimes obnoxiousness you will find a genius at work.
AlongCameLife is both verbally menacing and artistically astounding. Now if he found a happy middle ground somewhere in-between, he would become more accessible to the masses. But how do you ask a visionary to not look further than the confines of normality?

For thousands of years, human beings have marked their own skin, deliberately and permanently applying various types of pigment and ink. Tattooing is a practice in numerous cultures, for a variety reasons. Sometimes tattoos are proof of social status or are given as a rite of passage, to ward off evil, or to identify membership in a group.
All art practice has some underlying ideology, and this is especially true in tattoo art. Skin creations represent fundamental beliefs to the individual wearer or group. Tattooing is practiced by cultures from east to west, by both men and women, and by nearly all ages. The attraction is obvious: To decorate one’s body with permanent art is a powerful statement, not easily erased or altered, so the act itself is almost as intriguing as the image itself might be.

The Nightingale Plaza club in LA is one of the hottest spots in West Hollywood. Accommodating up to 500 guests, it is in that perfect sweet spot between busy and intimate, providing a luxurious LA nightclub experience. It has even been voted the best nightclub in Hollywood by Boutique Design, which is not a title to ignore.
Inside the Nightingale Plaza nightclub you will find four distinct areas depending on what sort of a night you want to have. The main room hosts the dance floor and the DJ, for anyone who enjoys a high energy party. There are two lounges, each with their own bar and particular ambiance, one more relaxed and the other more social. And there is the outside garden space, which is inviting and relaxing.
The ceiling is covered in revolving mirrors, which might be a little disorienting to some, but which most clubbers absolutely adore. It really brings a soft, flattering light into every corner of the club, showing off the décor without ruining your photos.
The theme which ties this venue together is a European courtyard meets a modern night club. The wallpaper actually stands out, which is very rare for a club, but it is gorgeous, with exotic plants, stunning prints, and beautiful animals. If you want to enjoy the best ambiance in all of LA, stop by the Nightingale Plaza nightclub.
The drinks at this LA nightclub are high class, as you would expect. Whether you go for some of their signature cocktails or pop a bottle, you are going to keep coming back for more drinks at one of the best nightclubs in West Hollywood.
If you are looking for some fantastic DJing, this nightclub in LA has got some of the best DJs in California. Look forward to amazing beats by Yo Gotti or DJ Rush, for example. The beats are amazing, although you will probably prefer the house and EDM tunes to the hip hop, due to the layout of the venue carrying these sounds better.
And if you want celebrity hosts, then you will find the likes of Diddy, Lil Wayne, and 2CHAINZ hosting their regularly scheduled events. Naturally with celebrity appearances like these you should be expecting the very best crowds. Expect to run into celebrities on most nights, and A-Listers every once in a while.
Naturally, if you’re going to be bumping into this crowd you need to look your best. The venue does not have a strict dress code, and you can probably get in wearing anything, so long as it is clean, hip, and well put together. Don’t expect to get in wearing a suit and sneakers, but a hip hop look with sportswear shoes and jeans can work very nicely.
Getting into this exclusive LA nightclub is not always easy. Even when you book a table, expect to queue as they allocate seats to everyone with reservations. It is going to be busy and you really wouldn’t want it any other way, would you? A promoter really is a must for this venue.

Sparks add second Los Angeles show

Legendary Los Angeles band Sparks will play two hometown shows this November to complete their acclaimed Hippopotamus Tour.
“The brothers Ron and Russell Mael have spent almost half a century making incomparable music. They are unconventional and unpredictable, well read and playful, but above all, they are the last great band in the history of pop that you need to see, if you haven’t already. It will be a life changing experience.”
Primavera Sound
Sparks’ set this summer at Spain’s famous Primavera festival was “an enduring highlight of the festival; one that was loaded with idiosyncratic charm, oddball theatrics, pinks suits, soaring vocals, glistening pop and euphoric disco.” (Loud & Quiet Magazine)
The Hippopotamus world tour has seen Sparks and their impressive band play shows that are euphoric, vital, brilliant and uncompromisingly typical of a band that refuses to rest on their laurels. The new songs (from their acclaimed 2017 album ‘Hippopotamus’ including ‘Edith Piaf Said It Better Than Me’, ‘What The Hell Is It This Time?’ & ‘Missionary Position’) sound like classics, the classics (including ‘This Town Ain’t Big Enough For Both of Us’, ‘Tryouts For The Human Race’ and ‘The Number One Song In Heaven’) sound as vibrant and essential as ever, and audiences, and critics, have been left in no doubt this genre-hopping band is on sparkling form.
★★★★★ The Times (What a band)| ★★★★★ The Independent (one of the most innovative outfits in pop) | Record Collector (What a night) | ★★★★★ Classic Pop (The Mael brothers burn up the place) | Classic Rock (A brilliant night) | ★★★★★ The Skinny (a band performing at their absolute best)
‘Hippopotamus’, Sparks’ 23rd album, received unanimous acclaim on its release in September 2017, subsequently appearing in many ‘Album Of The Year’ lists.
★★★★★ The Times | ★★★★★ The Independent ★★★★★ Daily Express | ★★★★★ Record Collector ★★★★ Mojo | ★★★★ Guardian | Classic Pop – 9/10 | Uncut – 8/10
Since storming into the charts, minds and airwaves in 1974 with This ‘Town Ain’t Big Enough For Both of Us’ from their album ‘Kimono My House’, Sparks have consistently created genre defying music and inspired – and continue to inspire and influence – generations of artists from Morrissey, Bjork & Depeche Mode to Franz Ferdinand, The Lemon Twigs & MGMT. Released on BMG, ‘Hippopotamus’ has been universally acclaimed with many critics declaring it to be one of the finest albums of the year and the pinnacle of the band’s career. Written, recorded and produced by Sparks ‘Hippopotamus’ is released on digital, CD, LP, picture disc and cassette formats.

About DON’T HIDE THE MADNESS
In DON’T HIDE THE MADNESS, the fathers of the Beat movement converse about deeply intimate and personal history while gathered at Burroughs’ house in Lawrence, Kansas. The conversation includes discussion of:
• David Cronenberg’s film adaptation of Burroughs’ classic novel Naked Lunch
• Shamanism, including a detailed description of the shamanic exorcism of the demon Burroughs believes forced him to kill his common-law wife in 1951
• Literary associates, influences, techniques, and insights
• Punk rock’s contributions to counterculture lore
With the current political landscape mirroring many aspects of the early Beat period, DON’T HIDE THE MADNESS is particularly timely. Interest in both authors’ work is on the rise. Many consider these legendary icons’ perspectives to particularly prophetic.
High Praise for DON’T HIDE THE MADNESS
“This oral trove is a compendium of trenchant, ordinary and magical gnosis . . . A tangible, tender, and totally engaging tour de force, and balm for the dystopia time we’re caught in.” —Anne Waldman, poet, feminist, and activist

WE BANJO 3 FROM GALWAY, IRELAND, TO PERFORM AT MARSEE AUDITORIUM ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20
NASHVILLE, TN–We Banjo 3, an award-winning band from Galway, will perform at Marsee Auditorium at El Camino College Center For The Arts, 16007 Crenshaw Blvd., Torrance, on Saturday, October 20th at 8:00 p.m. Tickets range from $10.00 (students) to $28.00 and may be purchased by calling 800-832-2787. For more information call 310-329-5345 or visit elcamino.edu/centerforthearts/
We Banjo 3 is one of the most prolific and exciting bands to emerge from Ireland in recent years. Featuring banjo, fiddle, mandolin, guitar, percussion and beautiful harmonies, We Banjo 3’s music is affectionately described as “Celtgrass.” The Galway-based quartet comprises two sets of brothers, Enda & Fergal Scahill and Martin & David Howley, who collectively hold over a dozen “All Ireland” titles.
We Banjo 3 released their fourth studio recording, Haven, on July 27, 2018, as the follow up to their highly-acclaimed 2016 release, String Theory, which went to # 1 on Billboard’s World Music Chart. We Banjo 3’s unique crossover of many genres of music is beautifully reflected on Haven; the 11 original compositions take the listener an exploratory, honest and uplifting musical journey. Haven reached # 1 on Billboard’s Bluegrass Chart the week of August 13th as well as making the Top 10 on many other Billboard charts. The video for the single “Light In The Sky” premiered on CMT.com on August 30th.
Haven has received rave reviews. AXS.com said, “Their blend of Celtic and bluegrass with dashes of folk-pop, and country is perfectly suited for the Americana scene. Their songs fall comfortably into The Lumineers style of earnest folk pop anthems.” Elmore Magazine said, “It’s as if Punch Brothers, Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas and The Chieftains all got together for a battle of the bands but decided to pool their resources instead. The future of world music is here.”

Description:
NewFilmmakers Los Angeles (NFMLA) DocuSlate program returns with a line-up featuring a strong focus on humanity in the face of adversity: perseverance, fighting for a cause, offering support in times of need, and building a better world in ways great and small for oneself and those around us.
Join us for a day of seven documentary programs that span the globe.
The day begins with shorts program Giving Care, a collection of stories about caregiving and working to improve the lives of others. We meet a pastor offering housing to immigrants recently released from detention, three siblings creating structure and support for one another during the absence of their mother, an unconventional couple trying to do right by one another, a death doula offering meaningful end of life care, and a group of women working to take the stigma out of menstruation in India.
Next, feature documentary The Reluctant Radical follows climate change activist Ken Ward, an intriguing personality whose personal journey from leadership in environmental organizations to advocating for civil disobedience invites an audience to examine its own relationship with the knowledge of looming environmental disaster.
The third program, Fighting Hate, pairs Oscar-Qualifying short documentary Beneath the Ink, about redemption through the covering of hateful body art, with feature documentary Man on Fire, which tells the story of a preacher who self-immolated in a small Texas town in 2014 to protest its racism.
Next, Dare to Struggle, Dare to Win offers a look at a moment in the history of rampant police violence and racism in 60’s Detroit, and the radical attorney who took on the Detroit Police Department.
Easing into the evening, Shorts Program Loving Life takes us into a series of personal portraits: the passing of the torch to the next generation in a long-running family-owned small business, a man seeking to take his town’s lively bus culture to the next level, a glimpse through the eyes of a pair of puppeteers at opposite ends of their careers who desire to use their vanishing art form as a voice for their people, a young man finding his passion for music in the midst of the slum he grew up in, and a charming coming out story that spans continents and generations.
Next, RISE: The Story of Augustines offers a different kind of music documentary, with the lens squarely focused on the transformative individual struggles of two musicians and the determination that turned personal pain into music that connects with people all over the world.
Finally, the day concludes with Joe Frank – Somewhere Out There, a look into the life, work and wide-ranging cultural impact of beloved and enigmatic audio artist and public radio figure Joe Frank.
Tickets are only $10 for single film programs and $25 for all films with open bar for the ENTIRE day. Get them now before it is too late!

NewFilmmakers Los Angeles (NFMLA) Film Festival – November 17th, 2018
Time:
4PM – 11:30PM
Location:

Parking:
1133 S Olive Street, Los Angeles, CA 90015
Description:
The fall 2018 NewFilmmakers Los Angeles (NFMLA) slate continues with a presentation of InFocus: American Indian, Aboriginal & Inuit Cinema, which showcases films by indigenous filmmakers from America, Canada, and New Zealand, as well as documentaries about native subjects, in addition to a selection of local and international films.
The first screening of the evening is feature film Sometimes Our Friends Come Over (and sometimes we’re all alone), a brutally honest and startlingly timely look at the unraveling of a millennial relationship in the shadow of the Trump era, written and directed by visual and sound artist and CalArts Art/Technology MFA Daniel Watkins, who frames the film in a striking lo-fi aesthetic that places the audience in the middle of painfully realistic moments of awkwardness and confrontation.
The evening continues with shorts program InFocus: American Indian, Aboriginal & Inuit Cinema, which includes some of the strongest emerging voices in Native filmmaking today, including films which premiered at Sundance, Toronto International Film Festival, Seattle International Film Festival and ImagiNative. Themes of familial struggle, exploration of identity, the meaning of home, and childhood hope and wonder run through the selection.
The night concludes with a shorts program that carves a narrative path from an absurd prep school interview to a comical look at a routine household chore, then to the personal effects of hatred, through a quinceañera, lingering in the loneliness of alienation in a digital age, on to the poetic exploration of addiction, and finally, into a moment of kindness that emerges from tragedy. The program tells these tales through animation, music videos, and live action.
Tickets are only $5 for single film programs and $15 for all films with open bar for 7+ hours! Get them now before it is too late!

OUR HOUSE Grief Support Center Celebrates 25 Years with the House of Hope Gala “The Great Stories of OUR HOUSE”
Honorees include This Is US and Dan Fogelman, writer & creator,
The Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund and Edie Lutnick, President, and Jory Goldman & Family
Los Angeles (September 20, 2018) –Saturday October 6 at Sony Pictures Studios, OUR HOUSE Grief Support Center, one of the most respected non-profit grief centers in the nation, proudly celebrates its 25th anniversary of sharing grief and finding hope with the House of Hope Gala. OUR HOUSE is honoring This is US and Dan Fogelman, writer & creator of the hit NBC TV show, The Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund and its President Edie Lutnick, and OUR HOUSE alumni, longtime supporter and former Board Chair, Jory Goldman & her four children. OUR HOUSE’s gala fundraiser will afford them to continue to provide grief support and education for adults and children in the Los Angeles community. Special guest Patton Oswalt will share his own very personal story of grief.
Dan Fogelman and This is US are receiving the Good Grief Award, for portraying the grief process with honesty, dignity and for helping normalize the grief experience by creating a world in which grief is embraced, understood and respected. “Ten years ago, my mom died unexpectedly. It’s the hinge upon which my life swings. I created This is Us to showcase looking back, looking forward, and the collective journey. I am so grateful to be recognized by OUR HOUSE Grief Support Center and couldn’t imagine a more appropriate organization with which to be involved that is helping people share their grief and find hope.”
Edie Lutnick and The Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund are being awarded the H.U.G. Award for contributing to helping understand grief. “The work that OUR HOUSE has done for the past 25 years in providing the community with grief support services, education, resources, and hope in a safe and nurturing way is vitally important. I am honored and humbled to be recognized and delighted to assist in their continued success.”
The Founder’s Award, named after OUR HOUSE’s founder, Jo-Ann Lautman, will be given to Jory Goldman and her children Seth, Jessie, Eli and Jonah. The award is OUR HOUSE’s highest honor and is given to individuals who have contributed significantly both in time and resources to the advancement of its mission to provide the community with grief support services, education, resources, and hope. “Jory is an integral part of the OUR HOUSE team and has been since the first day she joined a group with her children in 2003 after the sudden death of her husband. She continued her involvement with us by joining the Board of Directors more than 11 years ago and more recently as a volunteer group leader. It is not only for her sharp strategic thinking and elegant leadership, but her compassionate dedication to helping those in our community experiencing grief, that we honor Jory with this award,” said Michele Prince, CEO of OUR HOUSE Grief Support Center.
The program will also recognize OUR HOUSE’s founder, Jo-Ann Lautman and the longest serving volunteers from OUR HOUSE’s signature programs serving adults and children.
Under the stars at Sony Pictures Studios, The Great Stories of OUR HOUSE from the past 25 years will inspire the audience and convey the message that no one should grieve alone. The evening will also include a special presentation by Comedian Patton Oswalt, and Celebrity artwork to be auctioned with 100% of the proceeds benefitting OUR HOUSE. Celebrity supporters who have created pieces depicting their idea of a House of Hope include: Seth McFarland, Kevin Nealon, Idris Elba, Michael B. Jordan, Courtney Cox, Kaley Cuoco, Kim Bassinger, Nate Berkus, Byron Scott, Lindsey Buckingham, Reese Witherspoon, Tom Hanks, and many more.

This month, NewFilmmakers Los Angeles (NFMLA) features InFocus: Military Veterans and the Effects of War, showcasing films by veterans and films that explore the experience of veterans and war, alongside a celebration of Halloween with a selection of horror shorts.
The evening begins with a short film selection that depicts a diverse range of experiences of military veterans from a variety of backgrounds and time periods. Beginning with a futuristic sci-fi narrative by award-winning director and former U.S. Army Captain Rebecca Murga, the program goes on to include explorations of PTSD, near death experiences, the cultural complexity faced by Japanese American WWII veterans, the true stories of a recently transitioned transgender Vietnam veteran, a woman who survived sexual assault in the military, and the struggle of immigrant veterans who face deportation following their service.
The evening’s focus on veterans continues with the LA Premiere of Jenica Bergere’s Spare Room, a visually striking film about a young widow whose life becomes unexpectedly intertwined with that of the veteran she rents a room to, with a profound effect on those around them.
The night concludes with shorts program Horror: Cabin Fever, a collection of short films that take place in claustrophobic conditions – both real and imagined. From birthday parties to the studios of obsessive artists to unearthly photocopy stores, and even in the woods – cabin fever captures a frenzied state of mind that transcends physical confines.

You’re invited to join NewFilmmakers Los Angeles (NFMLA) and The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) with presenting partners NALIP and SAG-AFTRA on Saturday, September 8th, 2018 for the annual NFMLA Film Festival InFocus: Latinx & Hispanic Cinema event. The event will be hosted at The Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.
This month’s festival presents a powerful lineup of local and international films by world-class emerging filmmakers from Mexico, Brazil, Peru, Spain, Colombia, Chile, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Argentina and the United States across three short film programs. The evening opens with a collection of stories that explore everything from time travel to forbidden love, being caught between two words, abusive work environments and the importance of community.
The evening continues with an eclectic mix of genres covering everything from whimsical experimentalism to dance, including a dark comedy about a man facing down bureaucracy, a uniquely complex drama about the loss of a child, and stories of children facing down incredible odds, whether during wartime or in an imagined post-apocalyptic future.
The night culminates with a dynamic and hard-hitting collection of films that include two world premieres, a comedy starring a Brazilian soap opera actor that both is and isn’t about its own production, new work by a returning NFMLA alum, a thoughtful drama about the quest for same-sex parenthood in Spain, and a meditation on what it means to come home, all concluding with a story of parental love that transcends even the darkest moments.
NFMLA and AMPAS have formed industry-wide alliances and partnerships to support this initiative.
The program is full of talented filmmakers, including multiple-award-winning directors, writers and producers whose films have been programmed and awarded across Europe, South America and in the United States, including at SXSW and Sundance.
The evening presents three world premieres; The Morphable Man, by Jonathan Ostos Yaber, an award-winning director who has been recognized by the Italian Animation Academy, Synopsis by Felipe Saleme and Lara Koer, which stars and is produced by Brazilian soap opera actor Gabriel Godoy, and Sra. Genovese, the newest film by NFMLA alumn Daniela Arguello, whose last film in the 2017 NFMLA program, 2500Km, was acquired by HBO and who gave a Ted Talk about her filmmaking last fall. Additionally, the event will be the Los Angeles premiere of Bailaora by Spanish Director Rubin Stein, who was names is one of the 10 Spanish Filmmakers on the Rise 2018 by Variety.
Doors will open to the public at 4 pm with a pre-reception for the first shorts program, and the night will include a pre-reception before each of the evening’s programs, where attendees can sip cocktails and mingle with industry professionals and festival selected filmmakers in the lounge. The event will conclude at 11:30 pm.
Tickets are available for $5 per program advanced purchase / $7 per program at the door and $15 for all-night access passes, which provide access to all three film programs with open bar throughout the entire event. NFMLA’s Monthly Film Festivals are presented throughout the year with support from Executive Circle Sponsors FilmLA, The Coca-Cola Company and HBO, Producers Circle Sponsors SAG-AFTRA, 21st Century Fox Global Inclusion, Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA | Golden Globes), LA County Arts Commission and LA City Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA).

Hey everyone!
I wanted to see if there might be a possibility you would be able to post about our upcoming free music event, Happy Sundays Music Festival in Long Beach and/or have interest in covering it? Below is a little bit of information about the event as well as a few links of other articles that have been written. I have also attached some of our artwork.
Happy Sundays is a festival founded in 2017 by Scott Montoya, former drummer of the band The Growlers, and his wife Julia, singer of The Coathangers, who have a philanthropic heart. Scott & Julia are also founders of the non profit organization studiosforschools.org. It is exactly as it sounds and raises funds to put studio’s into schools to help further music careers and goals in students. Last year the event took place in 3 venues. This year The Montoyas enlisted the help of Entertainment Producer and founder of Indie Ignited Jeanne Rice and together they curated an exciting line up and branched the festival to triple the size of it’s last run. The event Happy Sundays will take place in 8 locations in the Zaferia district of Long Beach. The Long Beach Trolley will be used to shuttle guests between the 8 venues which will hold a host of talent from several genre’s of indie music, to DJ’s, comedy, and some heart felt story telling acoustic sets that will give you a glimpse into the purpose behind every song written. The special story telling sets and comedy, which includes great comedians featured on Netflix such as Vince Royale and Nick Thune, will be in the Long Beach Playhouse. The Long Beach Playhouse is a local theater and this venue will offer festival goers a chance to get off their feet, enjoy a Golden Road beer, or free water courtesy of eco-friendly boxed water. Boxed water will generously be supplying free waters in all venues. Also in the Playhouse lobby will be a special photo curation of the work of photographer Emery Becker. Emery Becker was a 25 year old talented photographer well known in the music community when in March of 2017 he was killed on his motorcycle by two drivers, one a hit and run to be immediately followed by a drunk driver.
This years festival features great indie acts like Jake Snider of Minus The Bear who has just announced his last final tour of Minus The Bear and will be joining us for a stripped down acoustic performance as well as up and coming Manchester England artist Leo James Conroy, Caught A Ghost, Spendtime Palace, The Shrine, and Death Valley Girls across our many stages which include hosts The OC Weekly and Indie Ignited, an indie music showcase of it’s own.
Happy Sundays is a not for profit event. Golden Road Brewery proceeds will be given to the Montoya non profit http://www.studiosforschools.org. This event is really geared towards great causes and in growing the community, and in giving back. This will be held in a very SXSW/ Echo Park Rising music showcase type of forum. The event is perfectly situated in Long Beach. Not just because this is the Montoya’s home but it is central to Orange County and Los Angeles so it is an easy place to get to for many. Long Beach holds a lot of music history and we want to create music history in this event. Another perk festival goers will see is the Muncheez food truck, which with the download of an app some festival attendee’s will be able to get free food! All this takes place in Long Beach’s Zaferia district.
Happy Sundays intent really is on keeping everyone happy. The musicians, the community, the attendee’s and those who are coming in to help be a part of it’s growth.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MAY 22, 2018
OUR HOUSE Grief Support Center Offers
Free Weekend Grief Camp Experience
for Children Ages 6-17, June 8-10 and August 17-19
Los Angeles (May 22, 2018) – OUR HOUSE Grief Support Center is hosting Camp Erin® LA June 8-10 and August 17-19 at the scenic Camp Bloomfield in Malibu. Camp Erin LA is a weekend-long camp experience for children and teens ages 6 to 17 who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling, or guardian in the past 3 years. Camp is free of charge for all children and combines traditional camp activities with grief support, education, and remembrance projects. Typical fun and engaging camp favorites such as rock climbing, swimming, arts and crafts, and campfires are interspersed with projects and experiences used to facilitate expression of feelings, memorialize their loved one who died, and promote healing. Trauma Informed Yoga will be offered Sunday morning.
When campers arrive on Friday, they are greeted with open arms by the dozens of grief specialists and trained volunteers who guide the campers through a series of bonding and grief-related exercises, as well as fun high-energy physical activities. They begin their camp journey with an intimate Friday evening ceremony where each camper shares their name, the name of their loved one who died, and places a photo of that person on a “memory board.” Saturday evening’s Luminary Ceremony is equally powerful and another opportunity to come together to say goodbye to their loved one by writing a message or drawing on a lantern that’s lit and set adrift across the pool. OUR HOUSE Grief Support Center recognizes every person’s grief is unique in duration and intensity, and that commonalities of experience strengthen the value of a grief support group in helping the healing process. “By offering Camp Erin LA, OUR HOUSE puts a support system into place, offering a safe space to talk and providing the tools to cope with their grief,” said Michele Prince, Executive Director of OUR HOUSE Grief Support Center. “Camp might be the only opportunity they have to work on their grief with other kids.”
Camp Erin is an initiative created and funded by The Moyer Foundation in Seattle, WA, a non-profit organization established by Major League All-Star pitcher Jamie Moyer and his wife, Karen. Camp Erin is named in memory of Erin Metcalf, a friend of the Moyers who lost her battle to cancer at age 17. Camp Erin LA was featured in an Emmy award-winning HBO documentary “One Last Hug: Three Days at Grief Camp,” which was produced in association with The Moyer Foundation and OUR HOUSE Grief Support Center.

Hey Everyone
Internet Fashion Records here, supporting new avant-pop band Jubilo Drive.
Here is a link to their newest single, “Off Satellites,” which fuses early krautrock influence with modern psychedelic rock. Frontman Jordan Kleinman penned the song’s lyrics while navigating through a handful of misguided romantic relationships. It’s a tribute to individuals he felt genuine connections with but was unable to pursue due to pre-existing relationships, professional boundaries, and friendships.
The group formed at Chapman University down in Orange County a few years ago, but — after a long hiatus — started a new chapter here in Los Angeles with a retooled lineup and fresh sound for 2018.
Jubilo Drive opened for Fishbone earlier this week, and will share the stage with Summer Twins at Civic Center Studios in downtown LA on Friday (May 11). With a handful of singles ready to release and more shows in the works, it figures to be a busy summer for Jubilo Drive.
Let us know if you guys dig it!

AN EVENING WITH JULES SHEAR AT THE GRAMMY MUSEUM ®
PRESENTED BY AMERICAN EXPRESS
WEDNESDAY, MAY 23, 2018 AT 8 P.M.
TICKETS ON SALE NOW
JULES SHEAR ONE MORE CROOKED DANCE OUT NOW ON FUNZALO RECORDS
The GRAMMY Museum ® will welcome singer/songwriter Jules Shear to the Clive Davis Theater for an intimate performance and conversation, hosted by music journalist Roy Trakin on May 23.
Tickets available here: https://29105.blackbaudhosting.com/29105/tickets?tab=2&txobjid=67d06eab-6938-4dc1-8b47-1e00d3c6702e
With four decades in the music business under his belt, Shear started his career with the Funky Kings, moved on to Jules and the Polar Bears and then an impressive solo career, he’s penned hits like Cyndi Lauper’s “All Through the Night,” The Bangles “If She Knew What She Wants” and his own “Steady,” a co-write with Lauper. Not to mention catalog mainstays such as Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers’ “If We Never Meet Again,” Til Tuesday’s “(I Believed You Were] Lucky” and Alison Moyer’s Top 20 U.K. hit, “Whispering Your Name.” He was also the host and co-creator of the influential MTV Unplugged series.
In November 2017, Shear released his 13th studio album, One More Crooked Dance on Funzalo Record. With just piano, vocals and the occasional harmonica interspersed, the 13 personal songs on One More Crooked Dance are beautifully emotional. The spare instrumentation, the effortless harmonies and Shear’s world-weary vocals give the record a gravitas deserving of his 40-plus years in the music business. In his long and varied career, Shear has never put out an album without guitar, bass and drums, so this is certainly a first, but when he’s asked about his method, he shrugs, “It was something we tried, and it seemed to be working out well,” he said about the stark, minimalist approach. “So, we just kept going.” The plainspoken approach takes on the challenge of maintaining passion in the songs and it pays off, Shear examines relationships in “Rules of the Game,” hits hard about the things we do to self-medicate ourselves in “Painkiller,” examines the war of the sexes in “The Hunter and the Hunted,” brings a one-two punch of the exquisite harmonies in “When It’s Right” and interweaves harp and piano throughout “Wrong Again,” to name only a few.

Join us this summer for our productions of The Merry Wives of Windsor and The Winter’s Tale!
THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR is a rollicking romantic comedy which tells of Falstaff’s folly: courting two married women at the same time. It’s mischief and mayhem galore.
A legend in his own mind, ne’er-do-well Sir John Falstaff, believes he has found the cure for all his financial problems. He’ll seduce two of the wealthiest ladies in town and relieve them of their virtue along with their change purses. But the two smart and sassy Real Housewives of Windsor are on to Sir John and they tease and humiliate him at every turn. Add in a jealous husband, a pair of hapless suitors, two hot-headed rivals, and a young couple in love and this merry farce careens to a happy ending with all involved, including the tormented Sir John, agreeing to “laugh this sport o’er by a country fire.”
THE WINTER’S TALE is the story of Leontes, a King who banishes his family wrongfully, and is taught the meaning of forgiveness through the inspired plan of a wise, loyal woman.
In an instant, King Leontes loses all that he holds dear. His wife, his son, and his best friend are ripped from him by his wild and baseless jealousy. His new born daughter is banished, taken to be abandoned far from court; not expected to survive. His wife seemingly dies of a broken heart, his son dies from sadness over his mother’s fate, and his best friend barely escapes with his life after nearly being poisoned. Too late, Leontes realizes how wrong he was. But is it too late for a miracle or two? Maybe love, once thought lost, can be ultimately found.
For audiences seeking quality, family entertainment, Shakespeare by the Sea’s free performances can’t be beat. Pack a picnic, a blanket and beach chair, gather loved ones, and settle in under the stars for a night of classic entertainment. The tales are timeless, the admission ticketless, and the experience priceless.
Performances: June 14-August 18, 2018

“BRASILIENSE” TO TOUR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA IN MARCH, BRINGING MUSIC RICH IN THE MUSICAL TRADITIONS OF BRAZIL, AMERICAN JAZZ, AND BEYOND
Featuring: Natalie Cressman of the Trey Anastasio Band (trombone & vocals) Rebecca Kleinmann (flute & vocals)
Ian Faquini (guitar & vocals)
Julien Cantelm (drums, guitar & vocals)
Performance details:
17 MARCH 2018/ Brasiliense
Dizzy’s / 8:00pm / $15 cover
1717 Morena Blvd, San Diego, CA 92110
18 MARCH 2018/ Brasiliense
The Mint / 9:30pm / $10 adv/$12 day of show 6010 Pico Blvd W, Los Angeles, CA 90035
Brasiliense is a musical collective of multi-instrumentalists with a shared passion for the rich musical traditions of Brazil. The music is a culmination of various forms of Brazilian music fused with jazz and other American styles, largely expressed through the distinct compositional voice of the group’s guitarist, Brazilian born Ian Faquini. As described by writer Andy Gilbert in SF Classical Voice, “Faquini writes astonishingly sophisticated Brazilian pop music in the omnivorous tradition known as MPB (música popular brasileira), which often draws heavily on jazz. Born in Brazil and raised in Berkeley, Faquini is a protégé of Guinga, the revered Brazilian guitarist and songwriter whose tunes have been recorded by dozens of MPB stars…While his harmonic palette is unmistakably inspired by Guinga’s writing, Faquini often draws on styles from Brazil’s northeast.”
Though he’s the only Brazilian musician in his band, Faquini has connected with American artists steeped in an array of Brazilian styles. Besides Faquini, the quartet features a particularly impressive array of talent: NYC-based, San Francisco-raised trombonist/vocalist Natalie Cressman of the Trey Anastasio Band, Oakland-based flutist/vocalist Rebecca Kleinmann, and San Diego-based drummer/guitarist Julien Cantelm. “With the two and three-part vocal harmonies hugging the Brazilian-accented Portuguese and warm voicings for alto flute and trombone, Brasiliense feels like a much bigger ensemble.” (Gilbert, SF Classical Voice)
Join NewFilmmakers Los Angeles (NFMLA) in celebrating independent cinema and in spotlighting female filmmakers and stories on March 24th, offering a diverse set of voices and storytelling styles.
The night’s first program will be InFocus: Female Cinema, a collection of short films from female directors and writers that include stories of mortality, motherhood, break-ups, career struggles and whether we fulfil our own childhood expectations for ourselves.
Second in the night will be the west coast premier of feature film Wonder Valley, a psychedelic psychological thriller with a horror tinge centered on four young women on a trip to the desert directed by Heidi Hartwig and written by Rhianon Jones.
The finale of the evening will be a narrative shorts program that spotlights the work of members of the women directors association Film Fatales across a variety of genres, including drama, dark comedy, experimental and surrealist.

Our House Grief Support Center
Hosts 9th Annual Run For Hope, April 29
Celebrating The Grieving Community And The Power Of Uniting Hands With Paws
OUR HOUSE Grief Support Center, one of the most respected non-profit grief centers in the nation, will host its ninth annual Run for Hope 5K Festival on Sunday, April 29 at the West Los Angeles Civic Center & Bandshell. The Run for Hope is the only event of its kind in the nation- a day dedicated to celebrating and honoring the memory of loved ones who have died. Every year, the Run focuses on community engagement, and bringing people together to support each other in memory of their loved ones. Deeply rooted in the community are the Presenting Sponsors – The Hollander Family and Karma Rescue– who will honor this commitment by showcasing the power of unity by uniting hands with paws.
“We are proud to help unite the community in the memory of their loved ones,” said Michele Prince, Executive Director, OUR HOUSE Grief Support Center, “The Run for Hope is our largest event of the year with an expected 1,700 attendees who have pledged to raise over $500,000 for essential grief support services and the collective benefit of our community.”
The event will be filled with activities for those participating in the walk or stopping by to show their support. With registration, participants can personalize t-shirts with their loved ones’ photos commemorating and celebrating their memories, and on Sunday, April 29 take part in three key events: The In-Memory Ceremony, 5K, and Festival. Additionally, there will be an In-Memory Wall inviting participants to write and place the name of their special person who died amongst others also being remembered.
The Presenting Sponsors – The Hollander Family, and Karma Rescue– are further exemplifying community commitment by bringing smiles to participants with a dog-kissing booth where all can receive a smooch by a pooch. Karma Rescue will also bring some of their rescue dogs, as many who are mourning the death of a loved one are often calmed and reassured by the loving companionship of a pet. Jackie Hollander says, “My vision for OUR HOUSE Grief Support Center and Karma Rescue is to have these two wonderful organizations collaborate by uniting people and animals at their most vulnerable times, helping them provide solace and support for each other.” To honor the memory of participant’s pets who have died, all will be able to memorialize them on the Zuma Memorial Wall.
A variety of vendors likely in attendance include: The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, BAI Water, Yelp, New York Life, Trader Joes, YogaWorks, LA Trial Lawyers’ Charities, VI Aesthetics, Nature’s Bakery Bars, Homemade Harvey, and Di Dio’s Italian Ice.

Comics Adam Ray, Vargus Mason & Little Esther Instill Laughs for
OUR HOUSE Grief Support Center Programs
Los Angeles– OUR HOUSE Grief Support Center’s Associate Board hosts the 9th annual Night For Hope fundraiser on November 17th at The Palace Theater in Downtown Los Angeles. Melissa Rivers, OUR HOUSE ambassador, will take the stage to dedicate a night of laughter to her mother. Since the death of her mother, comedy legend Joan Rivers, Melissa continues to make sure laughter is a part of her every day. “I am honored to be a part of an organization like OUR HOUSE, which provides a place for people to cry and laugh and remember their loved ones.”
This year, the Night For Hope will feature comics Vargus Mason, Esther Povitsky, aka “Little Esther,” and Adam Ray, all introduced by MC JC Cocoli for a night full of laughs and finding hope through grief. Inspiration for the evening’s theme came from an Associate Board member who felt she might never laugh again following the death of her father. Through support from OUR HOUSE, she was able to navigate through her grief, find joy, and laugh again.
OUR HOUSE Grief Support Center’s Associate Board is comprised of young professionals serving as ambassadors to the community. The Associate Board works relentlessly to spread the word about the agency’s services and volunteer opportunities, in addition to raising funds.

NewFilmmakers Los Angeles (NFMLA) Film Festival – October 21st, 2017
Description:
Join NFMLA on October 21st, 2017 as the festival presents genre cinema with an edition of InFocus: European Horror, Sci-Fi & Thrillers. The festival includes short films from France, Sweden, Norway, the United Kingdom, Spain, Scandinavia, Australia, Switzerland, Canada and the United States. This powerful collection of short films demonstrate the allure of genre films and celebrates crossing boundaries in storytelling.
The festival kicks off with a shorts program that perfectly primes audiences with films covering bigotry, androids, human trafficking, an insane asylum and a romantic break up.
Next up in the InFocus program, watch an ambitiously produced tale of a woman’s dream to land on Mars, a fairy-tale courtship of a young woman and an enchanted raven, an account of a boy who befriends an old man who just might be an alien and the story of a woman’s job interview quickly spiraling into her own personal horror story.
The festival concludes with a shorts program of indie genre cinema in America. The films combine horrifying scenes and powerful characters under pressure. The line-up is comprised of 2 equally dark stories of motherhood, a young sociopath’s coming of age, a peek into the bleak future of foster care and a story of evil spirits. This is a program of films that simultaneously portrays ugliness and beauty in astounding way.
$5 advanced purchase / $7 at the door for individual film blocks
$15 for all three programs with open bar

Visitors to the gallery space will explore movement and color in a wide variety of forms in a unique industrial setting as Jarvis and Cheung transform live music into visual expression, inviting the audience to interact with and influence the creation process. Taking guidance from “The Happenings” of the late 1960’s, It Happened explores what performance art can look like as a response to the electronic sounds that typify the current digital age. Where Ginger’s painterly works focus on the expression of emotion and form through color, Elaine’s digital installations immerse viewers into alternate visual realities, challenging visitors to explore color and movement in both tangible and intangible ways.
It Happened will be on exhibit from July 8th to August 1st. An artist’s reception, where live creation will occur, will be held on July 8th from 8:00 to 12:00 pm.

As a Chinese-American, she bridges ideologies from Eastern and Western perspectives and practices. Her most recent work explores the nature of consciousness through wearable technologies.

Tim Lacatena is an Alaskan born musician who uses Ableton Live to mix analog synths, drum machines, samples, guitar, saxophone, and vocal tracks. While he has performed across the country and internationally with the band Soulcirque, It Happened will be the Los Angeles debut of his original solo works.

Carl Weathers Directs “Danny And The Deep Blue Sea” at Edgemar Center Starring Tanna Frederick and Robert Standley
“Danny and the Deep Blue Sea” will open July 1 in Santa Monica
Danny and the Deep Blue Sea starring Tanna Frederick and Robert Standley, and directed by Carl Weathers, will open July 1 at the Edgemar Center for the Arts in Santa Monica.
Carl Weathers was famous first as an NFL player with the Oakland Raiders, then as an actor for his iconic movie roles (Apollo Creed, Action Jackson), and his roles as a regular on several TV series (Chicago Justice, Brothers, In the Heat of the Night, Street Justice), and as a television director (Always Night, For the People, Sheena, Strong Medicine, Silk Stalkings). He is set to direct John Patrick Shanley’s unlikely romance Danny and the Deep Blue Sea in The Rainbow Theatre Company production at Edgemar Center.
The setting is a rundown bar in the Bronx, where two of society’s rejects, Danny and Roberta, strike up a halting conversation over their beer. He is a brooding, self-loathing young man who resorts more to violence than reason; she is a divorced, guilt-ridden young woman whose troubled teenage son is now being cared for by her parents. Danny, whose fellow truck drivers call him “the animal”, seems incapable of tender emotion, while Roberta, who is still haunted by the memory of an ugly sexual incident involving her father, is distrustful of men in general. And yet, as their initial reserve begins to melt, and they decide to spend the night together, the possibility of a genuine and meaningful relationship begins to emerge—the first for both of them.
Tanna Frederick and Robert Standley are becoming the Hepburn and Tracy of local stages, having also appeared together previously in The Rainmaker (L.A. Times Critic’s Choice) and Jack & Jill. They also appear in the 2016 feature film Ovation. Ms. Frederick’s stage credits also include Always…But Not Forever, Sylvia, A Safe Place, Dutchman, and more. Known as a queen of indie films, her screen credits include Train to Zakopané, Just 45 Minutes From Broadway, Queen of the Lot, Irene in Time, The M Word, Hollywood Dreams and more.
Robert Standley won an Ovation Award for his performance in Barbarians and Outer Critics Circle Awards for his roles in A Streetcar Named Desire and Picnic. Other stage turns include Post Office (at the Kirk Douglas) and national tours of Cotton Patch Gospel, According to Coyote, and The Rainmaker. He’s familiar to televison audiences from stints on Invasion, Melrose Place, Breaking Through and All My Children.
A review for a production of Danny and the Deep Blue Sea said, “The play is the equivalent of sitting at ringside watching a prize fight that concludes in a loving embrace.’’- The New York Times.
Danny and the Deep Blue Sea was written by John Patrick Shanley. The author of forty-one plays, he won the Tony ® Award for Doubt, received a Tony nomination for Outside Mullingar, and won the Oscar® for his screenplay for Moonstruck. His other plays include the dreamer examines his pillow, Psycopathia Sexualis, Beggars in a House of Plenty, Italian American Reconciliation, Where’s My Money?, Four Dogs and a Bone, and many more. The play is being produced by The Rainbow Theatre Company.
The Edgemar Center for the Arts is located at 2437 Main St., Santa Monica, CA 90405. Parking is available in an adjacent lot (fee charged). There is also metered street parking and a nearby metered municipal lot.
The play runs through September 10, 2017. Performances are Saturday at 8:00 pm and Sunday at 4:00 pm (dark August 12-13).
Admission is $25; students and seniors are $20.
Reservations can be made by calling (310) 392-7327 or online ticketing is available at http://bit.ly/2qCaHej.

NewFilmmakers Los Angeles is proud to present another month of incredible independent film talent. Join us on Saturday, June 24th, as we start the night with an eccentric film program. We are screening five short films that cover a wide range of narratives from a lonely girl trying to find her voice in the world to a 100-year-old woman rebelling against her aging daughter’s demands.
Our next program of the night presents the 1st of 2 InFocus: LGBTQ Cinema Film Programs. This shorts program focuses on stories of love, connection and reconciliation by both local filmmakers and international talents from China and Brazil.
Closing the evening is the second LGBTQ shorts program that revolves around conflicts of identity, community and family. This program’s stories include a serial killer on the hunt for love, millennials who decide to get their lives together after one last night of debauchery and four misfits who make the world their stage.
These 2 shorts programs illuminate a wide range of the LGBTQ experience, contrasting with the common one-dimensional portrayals of LGBTQ characters. These emerging directors give more representation to the LGBTQ community by humanizing their characters and relating them to their audiences.
Throughout the event, attendees will have opportunities to mingle with the filmmakers, industry supporters and film lovers with an open bar at the filmmakers’ lounge adjacent to the private entry of the South Park Center’s 500 seat theater in Downtown Los Angeles.
Tickets are only $5 for single film programs and $15 for all films with open bar.

An inspired outpouring of political music and art is ripping through the US in a way not experienced since the heyday of Pete Seeger, Odetta, Phil Ochs and a young Bob Dylan. And Los Angeles is one of the many ground zeroes.
To celebrate our city’s contribution to this creative explosion, Country Music maverick Grant Langston will host a night of new, original protest songs from over twenty Los Angeles songwriters at Hotel Café on Sunday, April 2, with all profits to benefit The National Immigration Law Center (www.nilc.org/).
Artists as diverse as Ghanaian reggae star and Grammy-nominee Rocky Dawuni, indie siren Maria Taylor, and Americana legend Tony Gilkyson will perform new original protest songs, custom made for this historic moment.
“Historically music has had a powerful role to play during times of political and social duress,” says Grant. “It’s unique in its ability to inspire, sooth, satirize and propel action. So it seems natural to me that in our current state of affairs the music community has an opportunity and a responsibility to make itself heard. I’m hoping this show can be the catalyst to create more social art while raising money for a worthwhile cause.”
Established in 1979, the National Immigration Law Center (NILC) is one of the leading organizations in the U.S. exclusively dedicated to defending and advancing the rights of low-income immigrants.
“The times they are a-changing’” sang Bob Dylan in 1964. And so they are again. Come celebrate the musical signs-of-the-times – the wit, insight, anger, and spirit – on Sunday, April 2, from 8-10pm at Hotel Café, (1623 N Cahuenga Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028) Admission $15.

NewFilmmakers Los Angeles (NFMLA) Film Festival – February 18th, 2017
Description:
In honor of Black History Month, NFMLA presents ‘InFocus: Black Cinema’ to open up this month’s festival screening. The program consists of films that cover a range of stories and cultures seeking to underscore the importance of films that have starred, filmed, directed, or been produced by the black community. We have two comedies of how far one goes to break the walls between color in the name of love, a witty comment on stereotyping, a beautifully captured character study of a youth from the streets, training his way to the olympics, and a historical snapshot of an economically challenged community in Detroit transformed though the modernist architecture of Mies Van Der Rohe.
Next we have 2 programs of short films, many premiering for the first time in Los Angeles including character driven films from Italy and Lithuania, a Hungarian produced thriller and a glimpse of mother struggling with her cancer in modern day Iran. And from the U.S., a modern day pulp flick set in the desert, a satire of a clever homeless man, and a documentary of a female acapella quartet out of Cuba.
Closing the evening, we have the West Coast Premier of ‘Homestate’, a tender experiment of real life and fiction following Blaise Miller in a refined performance as the lead character on a path of redefining himself despite the lack of faith from his family.
In between programs, meet and mingle with the filmmakers and industry supporters over cocktails and sounds at the filmmakers’ lounge inside the private entry to the 500 seat theater of the South Park Center in Downtown Los Angeles.
Tickets are only $5 for single film programs and $15 for all films with open bar.

Five years ago, actor Tanna Frederick scored a personal triumph in productions of Sylvia at Sierra Madre Playhouse and Edgemar Center for the Arts. Now she returns to the title role, not only starring in but also directing the new production.
In this 1995 comedy by A.R. Gurney (Love Letters, The Dining Room), Greg and Kate are empty-nesters in the big city. On a walk in the park, Greg is adopted by Sylvia, a bouncy, frisky poodle mix. But Kate comes to feel that she is losing Greg to his adoring new best friend who just loves to be petted, scratched, and talked to. This imaginative twist on Greg’s midlife crisis leads to lots of laughs and some thoughtful insights into the nature of love, marriage, jealousy, and dogs.
In addition to Ms. Frederick, the cast also includes Steve Howard (also from the 2011 productions) as Greg, Beege Barkette (Babylon 5, The Fabulous Baker Boys) as Kate, and Matthew Marcy (TMI Hollywood) as three other characters.
Tanna Frederick is perhaps best known as a queen of independent film. Fresh off her career-best (so far) film reviews for Ovation, she has also appeared in The M Word, Irene in Time, Just 45 Minutes From Broadway, Queen of the Lot Hollywood Dreams, The Bandit Hound and more. Her stage credits include The Rainmaker (L.A. Times Critics Choice), Jack & Jill, Always…But Not Forever, Toussaint: For the Love of Freedom, Train to Zakopané, Dutchman ,A Safe Place, and more. She is also active in philanthropic endeavors, co-founding Project Save Our Surf and founding the Iowa Independent Film Festival, now in its tenth year.

Los Angeles International Flamenco Festival Presents
World Renowned Flamenco Guitarist and Five-Time GRAMMY Winner
Tomatito
Performing with his Sextet for the first time in the
City of Los Angeles
Friday, October 21, 2016, 8 p.m., Wilshire Ebell Theatre
José Fernández Torres, better known as Tomatito, is a living legend and one of today’s most-admired flamenco guitarists. Known for his mastery of traditional rhythms, his classic work with singer Camarón del la Isla, and his pioneering efforts in establishing Nuevo flamenco by augmenting traditional flamenco with music influenced by classical, jazz, blues, rock, pop, bossa-nova, tango, and fado, makes his first City of Los Angeles appearance with his sextet on Friday, October 21 at 8:00 p.m. at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre.
Tomatito has presented his art the world over, from New York to Moscow, from the Middle East to Hong Kong. He has been hailed as one of the best guitarists in the world. An enormously charismatic musician, Tomatito is much loved both as an embodiment of Flamenco’s deep traditions and as a leader in contemporary developments in the art form. Tomatito has ensured the evolution of flamenco guitar, as well as securing his own place as the leading flamenco guitarist of his generation and one of the greatest flamenco guitarists of all time.
“Tomatito is the most eminent guitarist in flamenco. [He plays] with such clean intent that it was possible fo you to feel the energy and gesture and contrast in those individual notes and phrases as if you were playing them yourself.” (Ben Ratliff, New York Times)
Tomatito’s sextet includes José del Tomate, guitar; Piraña, percussion; Kiki Cortiñas and Morenito de Íllora, vocals; and José Maya, one of the most exciting flamenco dancers today. Maya is one of the most explosive dancers in Spain today, a powerful figure in flamenco’s new generation. He has collaborated with many of the most well-known flamenco artists including Farruquito, El Güito, Manolete, Estrella Morente, Gerardo Núñez and Diego El Cigala, and has opened for pop stars Marc Anthony, Beyoncé and Björk.
Flamenco has a long and complex history with ancient roots. It has been traced to the 15th-century arrival in Spain of Gypsies whose musical traditions blended with those of Christians, Arabs, and Jews to create unique forms, modes, and rhythms. In the late 19th century the music became popular in cafes throughout Spain.
Tomatito was born in Almería, southern Spain, surrounded by guitars. Since childhood he listenied to his father and grandfather, Miguel Tomate. He is the nephew of legendary Flamenco guitarist Miguel Niño. At age 12 he moved to the city of Malaga, where he started his career playing flamenco clubs like La Taberna Gitana. There he met Paco de Lucía and Camarón de la Isla. Gradually, his extraordinary powers drew attention from critics and fans. He began to play with great singers like Enrique Morente or La Susi, but his greatest pride is to have played with the legendary Camarón de la Isla for the last 18 years of his life.
Alongside Camarón, Tomatito recorded discs that are now essential references in the flamenco archive, such as “La Leyenda del Tiempo” and “Como el Agua.” In the latter, Tomatito accompanies with Paco de Lucía. After the death of Camarón, Tomatito began his career as a soloist, dazzling audiences with his exquisite sensitivity. His charismatic personality and a firm commitment to the development and dissemination of flamenco worldwide mean that Tomatito now enjoys the recognition he deserves, not only in the field of music but also in film, theater and art.
Tomatito has won a total of five Grammy Awards (one with Michel Camilo) and a Latin Grammy for his albums “Aguadulce” and “Soy Flamenco”. He has collaborated with many performers from around the world, such as Elton John and Frank Sinatra, and has influenced a whole generation of young guitarists. And on the occasions when he has ventured into other musical fields, such as jazz, has always remained true to his principles. His latest album, “Soy Flamenco”, presents an elegant and mature musician at the height of his art.
The Los Angeles International Flamenco Festival is proud to bring unique programming and world-class flamenco artists to Los Angeles, having presented some of the worlds most acclaimed and influential flamenco artists. Past performers include Vicente Amigo, Los Farrucos, Diego El Cigala, Juana la del Pipa, La Tania, Tia Yoya, Luis Moneo, Diego del Morao, La Curra, Kina Mendez, Maria Bermudez, Teatro Flamenco, Adam del Monte, Omayra Amaya, Gema Moneo & many more.

Luminal reinvents the circus like never before. Starting with the idea of having a circus glow-in-the-dark, the Luminal team went to town. The show includes, of course, glow-in-the-dark performers, but also computer control light displays, glowing circus apparatus, and even lasers! The show will be presented in Le Studio near LAX.
Luminal is a journey through night. Follow a tinkering electrician as he tries to harness the power of light, and see for himself that the night is not always dark. Acts range from stilt performers, to juggling, to acrobatics, and aerial arts.
Luminal is brought together under the creative direction of Michael Murray. Graduate from the School of the Art Institute, Micheal has been in the performance art arena melding circus and visual arts for quite some time. His latest show includes talented performers from throughout Los Angeles, all performing to the original soundtrack composed by his brother, Kevin Murray.
“We jam packed so much visually into this show; from lasers, to LEDs, to backlights, to computer controlled lighting, but always at our core are really strong aerialist and acrobats. They are the foundation of every show we create.” Michael Murray, Creative Director
“When I’m balancing on a small stick and the glow of my juggling equipment is the only light in the whole theater, I can’t help but feel alive.” Nick Selvy, Juggler/Stilt Walker
Luminal is truly a show that must be experienced.

FAULTLINES ANNOUNCES TELEPHONE PHILOSOPHIES EP RELEASE, WATCH VIDEO SINGLE “WOODEN BRIDGES”
Los Angeles, CA: California folk-pop outfit Faultlines to drop sophomore EP Telephone Philosophies on August 19, 2016. The five song record is preceded by lead single “Wooden Bridges” released June 14. You can watch the youtube video at this link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dA6HU53ACYM
Album pre-release concert scheduled for 7pm at Ocean Prime, Beverly Hills, CA, on August 18 with a follow up at Santa Ana’s Gypsy Den on August 23 at 7:30pm.
https://www.facebook.com/events/1710983182500048/
The 5 song EP was recorded and mixed between Jim Henson Studios Hollywood and in North Hollywood by Brazilian sound architect, Lineu Andrade. While Telephone Philosophies picks and strums in the sonic playground of country and folk, it lives comfortably in the 2016 world of Adele and Johnnyswim. Telephone Philosophies will be available August 19, 2016 on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, and all digital stores.
Short bio:
Packing venues in the Southern California scene, this folk-pop trio is comprised of members Todd McCool, Ashley Morgan, and John Flanagan – each with a resume backing up major label artists as singers, players, and songwriters respectively. The combined synergistic effect has been described as an amazing and impressive breath of fresh air. Their lauded three-part harmonies are a metaphor for their work. With unique strengths these individuals are able to put their best cards on the table for a royal flush of a musical performance. In 2016, Faultlines opened up for a range of artists including Christina Perri and Easton Corbin, owing to their urban pop and roots country sound. Faultlines’ goal is simple: to play everywhere, all of the time, and of course, shake up the current state of commercial music.

Bio:
Hi, I’m Taylor Briggs, and I’m a 17 year old songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Los Angeles. My music is pop with alternative/electronic/rock influences. I’ve been playing guitar, bass, cello, and singing and playing in bands for almost ten years.
At 15 I received a scholarship on guitar to Berklee College of Music’s 5-Week Summer program, and then went back the next summer with a scholarship on vocals. I played all the instruments on the tracks and mixed the music too. I’m working with Nicholas Fournier to remix and master it all as well. I’ll be doing a showcase at the Troubadour this Fall to promote my music.
Thank you for taking the time to listen to my music!
Taylor

Who doesn’t like a nice pair of shoes?
The feel, the smell, and the look of how you first put them on. They can be the perfect tool for the perfect moment. High heels for a beautiful model. Construction boots for the construction workers daily grind. Basketball shoes to display the athletes arsenal of talent.
From high heels to Jordans to army boots, Sneaker Suites dives deep into the diverse and personal relationship street dancers have with the most highly-purchased fashion items in the world: sneakers. Fusing provocative poetry, hip hop choreography, childhood memories, and instrumental beats, Sneaker Suites unravels the iconic importance of sneakers through this multi-layered performance.
Sneakers represent empowerment and exploitation, and Sneaker Suites grapples with the contradictions of this symbolism with funk and style.
From Seattle to Wyoming, New York to Philadelphia, Antics has successfully sold out shows and captivated the audience. Sneaker Suites will be making its Los Angeles premiere July 8th and 9th at the Ivy Substation.
This performance is made possible in part by a Culver City Performing Arts Grant with support from Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Guitarist Glen Laughlin had ended a long stint with punk rock legends The Dickies, and singer Deborah Gee had been working as a solo artist, having signed a development deal with A&M Records.

The Cherry Bluestorms’ debut album Transit of Venus and follow-up Bad Penny Opera were praised by the San Diego Troubadour, L.A. Weekly, Goldmine, Glasswerk UK, and others. Drummer Mark Francis White joined the band shortly before the release of Bad Penny Opera. The Cherry Bluestorms have graced stages around the world, including The Cavern Club in Liverpool, The Bull & Gate and Dublin Castle in London, Toronto’s The Rivoli, and Los Angeles staple The Troubadour. The band has recently received radio airplay on Rodney Bingenheimer’s Rodney On The ROQ on KROQ, as well as in the UK, Japan, South America and France.

Hooka Hey from Austin Texas at The Hi Hat (with Uncles) Fri June 3
https://www.facebook.com/events/531088697081976/
Culture Collide said:
“A layered, dangerous ride hinting at Eastern mysticism and crazy, seductive Creole voodoo.(…) Their work is urgent and unrelenting, possessing a musical confidence even early in the game. (…) And like any burning passion, they will leave you wanting more”
Hooka Hey plays blues-based tribal beats with smoky, sludgy riffs drenched and charged like the air just before a rainstorm. Organic and raw, their “Transylvanian Voodoo” sound encompasses a wide variety of grooves and tones evoking artists like Queens of The Stone Age or Jack White.
For Immediate Release:
Wasteland World Inc., the creators of Wasteland Weekend are holding their first ever car show on May 21st, 2016 at Alpine Village in Torrance, CA, starting at 12 noon. 833 Torrance Blvd, Torrance CA 90502
Wasteland Weekend is the world’s largest Mad Max fan festival and post-apocalyptic party. As the event has grown, it has begun attracting “wasteland cars” from across the country to its remote location in the Mojave Desert. Now, the creators of this growing annual celebration have decided that it’s time to bring this end-of-the-world showcase to civilization.
“We had over a hundred of these amazing vehicles cruising out in the desert last year, and we thought it was time to let the general public, who might not make it to one of our events, see these incredible, one-of-a-kind creations up close” says the event’s director and co-owner Jared Butler. “Wasteland Weekend is for Wastelanders” elaborates Wasteland co-owner Adam Chilson, “but now we can invite everyone else to get a little taste of what we’re all about”.
While Wasteland Weekend is a four day, costumes-required, themed desert party that brings in hardcore fans from all over the world, the new Wasteland World Car Show is a one day, all-ages, free-to-the-public event in an urban setting. “The barrier to entry for this is MUCH lower, so that anyone can come appreciate these cars up close” says Chilson.
“We’d love to see ‘Wasteland cars’ gain acceptance in the wider car community as another style or genre in the custom car world, alongside hot rods, street rods, and rat rods”, says Butler. Just what IS a “wasteland car”? Butler explains: “It can be hard to define, but you know it when you see it. The movement kind of started with people building replicas of cars from the Mad Max movies, but they’ve evolved over the years into a kind of mix between a lifted off-road vehicle and a rat rod. Car folks love to argue over definitions, but the wasteland car is about ignoring a lot of the rules and having fun. So, since a wasteland car is mostly about aesthetics, if it LOOKS like a wasteland car, then it IS one. We have some that are made by professionals and made on a bigger budget, and some thrown together by amateurs. When we judge them for a contest, build quality IS a factor, but the biggest factors are creativity and style. There are a lot of exceptions within the category, but in general, a wasteland car will be lifted rather than lowered (because roads won’t be well-maintained after the apocalypse), they’ll predate computers so they’re easy to service in a burnt out world of the future, and they’ll have some kind of offensive capability – Because you gotta be a road warrior.” Chilson adds, “The emphasis on looks really borrows a lot from building movie cars. Except in this case, the movie might just be in the owner’s head.”
The car show lasts until 7pm and will feature costumed Wastelanders modeling with the cars and entertaining the crowd, professional photographers, and vendors selling themed merchandise. At 7pm, the action shifts inside to the Alpine Village’s newly-renovated Steinhouse bar & restaurant, which features a full entertainment stage and dance floor. Chilson says, “We couldn’t just bring out all of these cars and Wastelanders and not have one of our signature parties at the end of it”.
The party will feature live rock bands, DJs, vendors, and performers ($8 cover at the door, with discounted online pre-sale tickets available).
“I don’t think there’s ever been a car event quite like this” says Butler. Chilson agrees, “I think it’s time to put on a show that will inspire the next generation of crazy Mad Max car builders”.

SAVE-the-DATE: Sunday June 26 — THE BIGGEST PARTY IN THE 626!
https://www.facebook.com/events/769357946502120/
626 Golden Streets presented by Metro will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to walk, bike, run, skate, scoot, dance and play on over 18 miles of “open streets” linking 7 Foothill cities and 6 Gold Line stations.

The historic event will be one of the largest of its kind in the United States, and quite possibly the first in the nation in which 8 distinct jurisdictions work together to host a connected “ciclovia” on the same day. As with any open streets event, 626 Golden Streets will not feature a start or finish. Attendees can come and go; stop and explore; and traverse as much or as little of the route as they wish. Along the way there will be 7 distinct activity zones featuring activities such as live music, free fitness classes, pop-up art exhibits, family-friendly play zones and more.
The day will kick off at 7:30am with the Train Run (www.thetrainrun.com), the San Gabriel Valley’s first point-to-point half marathon from South Pasadena to Duarte. Upon finishing runners will receive a TAP card and be able to ride the Gold Line ride back to the start.

Sunstock Solar Festival Mixing Solar Power with Music and Art
Benefits Kids Cancer Connection
Los Angeles, CA (May 4th) – Sunstock Solar Festival is the first completely solar-powered event of its kind and is lighting the way for music and the environment this summer. The festival, which will take place on June 18 at the Autry in Griffith Park, is the first solar powered event of its kind. The event will feature some of the hottest local bands, but it’s also for a good cause. Sunstock Solar Festival will benefit Kids Cancer Connection, a local charity, and help create awareness for alternative energy sources and eco-friendly practices in the music industry.
“Music has a way of uplifting, re-energizing and inspiring people. If we can create a positive experience that is also pointed towards a cause and a purpose, we can be more effective and we can be re-energized,” said Sunstock Founder, Skylar Funk. “We come together not just to party and listen to music, but because we know that there has to be a change and we want to be part of the solution. “People can come get involved with these non-profits, or even if they just buy a ticket, they are supporting a good cause,” he added.
Sunstock Solar Festival will run all evening, entirely on solar energy, creating a brilliant atmosphere to enjoy great music and celebrate with the community. Funk and his band Trapdoor Social started doing solar-powered concerts in 2015 and are creating Sunstock Solar Festival in order to celebrate solar as a solution, create a positive space for the sustainability movement to come together, and curate great art and music for the Los Angeles community. The festival, which is produced in collaboration with Odd Nights at the Autry, is open to all ages and will include visual artists, activities for kids, food trucks, a 21+ bar and vendors from the area’s craft culture. All proceeds from the event will help fund a solar roof installed by Sunstock partner, GRID Alternatives, for Kids Cancer Connection.
With an over-arching goal of uniting the community around sustainable solutions, Sunstock Solar Festival has teamed up with local and national organizations working to reduce our country’s carbon footprint and protect the health of future generations. Partners include the longstanding environmental grassroots organization Sierra Club, as well as Food & Water Watch, SoCal 350, Courage Campaign, GRID Alternatives, Climate Hawks Vote, and Eastside Sol.
Sunstock’s musical lineup will include top indie and alternative acts from around the region. Early bird tickets are now available through Eventbrite for $15.00. The festival will be located in a secluded corner of Griffith Park at the Autry Museum of the American West, 4700 Western Heritage Way. A bike valet and plenty of free parking will be available in the Los Angeles Zoo parking lot.

Doors open at 4PM and music goes live at 5PM. Visit sunstocksolarfestival.com for updated information on the lineup and amenities. For more information on Sunstock Founder, Skylar Funk and band Trapdoor Social, visit trapdoorsocial.com.

Multi-award winning Lion Ark, the story of the dramatic rescue of 25 lions from Bolivia, plays at the LA Screen Actors Guild, 5.15pm, on Saturday April 9, to help Animal Defenders International (ADI) airlift 33 ex-circus lions from South America to a sanctuary in their native Africa, next month.
Described by critics as “uplifting” and “the feel-good movie of the year,” Lion Ark is more action adventure than traditional documentary. It follows an ambitious and daring animal rescue, close up and personal, in the thick of the action as events unfold. Attitudes to animals were changed, illegal circuses tracked down and 25 lions airlifted to freedom.
A huge hit at the film festivals Lion Ark racked up 11 awards and secured worldwide distribution deal with ITV GE, with DVD planned for the future.
A Q&A after the film from ADI founders Jan Creamer and Tim Phillips will talk about the latest rescue of wild animals from circuses in Peru and Colombia, with a preview of rescue footage from the new operation, Spirit of Freedom.
WHAT: Lion Ark helping to SAVE THE LIONS
WHEN: Saturday, April 9, 5.15pm
WHERE: The Screen Actor’s Guild, 5757 Wilshire Blvd., #PH1, Los Angeles
TICKETS: $15 Tickets here
The Spirit of Freedom mission has saved over 100 animals including lions, a tiger, bears, monkeys, birds and reptiles. Animals have been nursed back to health at ADI’s temporary custody center. Native wildlife including monkeys, bears and others are now in their forever homes – specially built Amazon sanctuary habitats. Some lucky animals have already gone back into the wild and others are scheduled for wild release after rehabilitation. Following Colombia’s new law, the first nine lions have been handed over and will join the 24 Peru lions to travel to their forever home.
The Save the Lions screening is to help raise the cost of the flight for 33 lions, who have endured hell on earth in Latin American circuses, to fly home to their native Africa.
The lions will have natural, secure habitats at Emoya Big Cat Sanctuary in South Africa, see http://lionsbacktoafrica.org/
The Spirit of Freedom flight is next month and each lion needs a sponsor for their $10,000 ticket to freedom.

You’ve seen the sport in the Olympics, you’ve heard about it from someone you know, and you’ve thought, “hey, I wonder if I can do that?” Come find out for yourself! With no experience necessary, come on out to see what the roaring game is all about. Learn how to deliver a stone, and how to sweep it down the ice. Find out what hoglines, hacks, buttons, and houses all have to do with it. Bring your families out and learn together.
Please wear loose, comfortable clothing that you can lunge in (stretch!), warm socks, and rubber soled, closed toe shoes. Sneakers work well. (We suggest no Converse, Toms, or other low-profile soles- your feet will get cold!). Dress in layers (it can be cold on the ice, but you’ll warm up once you start sweeping).
Our instructors will give you an overall understanding of what you need to play the game. You’ll learn the basics of throwing, sweeping, and some basic game flow & strategy. By the end of just one session, you can be ready to join our fall league and master the game!
Spaces must be reserved in advance. Kids 10 and up are welcome, but require a parent or guardian to sign the waiver. Please arrive 30 min early to complete waivers and registration.
I love this site and all the work they do for the music community in Los Angeles. You’ve give tons of new hard working artists an avenue to promote their art.
We work with producers and venues to provide great tasting tacos for your events. Check us out.

Mrs Fish http://www.mrsfish.com
Address: 448 S Hill St, Los Angeles, CA 90013
Phone:(213) 873-4444
Sat March 26th, 2016 / Doors 7pm / Show 10:00pm
No Cover / 21+
Niki J Crawford and her band bring the heat with a high energy soul get down. After a short break following her recent tour, where she performed more than 200 shows worldwide, Niki is back with a new band, new songs and a new show. Niki will be preforming songs of her debut release “The Genesis Block” and new songs from her forthcoming second record.
“Niki J. Crawford’s first EP titled The Genesis Block is carried by soaring and multi-layered vocals, her most fully realized work to date that is finely attuned and anchored by the type of rhythmic instrumentation that allows her range and depth to be heard in its finest hour. The songs are rooted in unabashed free expression with profoundly selfless lyrical compositions usually reserved for the most mature of songwriters. Each track teeters on themes of romance and conceit while remaining heartfully optimistic throughout the final verse”.
Niki and the band have shared the stage and have played with Carlos Santana, Snoop Dogg, Al Green, Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, Aaron Neville, Macy Grey, Booker T Jones, The Roots, Galactic and Orgone. Come out for a rare opportunity to see this rising talent in an intimate nightclub setting.

Three Rooms Press and Beyond Baroque Literary | Arts Center present
The Official West Coast Launch of
BAD: The Autobiography of James Carr
Friday, April 1, 8 pm
Beyond Baroque Literary | Arts Center
681 N. Venice Blvd., Venice, CA | 310-822-3006
On Friday April 1, Three Rooms Press and Beyond Baroque present the Official L.A. Launch of BAD: The Autobigraphy of James Carr, the harrowing, brutal, and unapologetic 1972 autobiography by James Carr, a notorious African-American career criminal who went straight out of Compton to a reformatory after burning down his school at the age of 10. A brutal indictment of the American penal system and a primer for the present-day seeds of institutionalized racism in this country, BAD goes where no other book has ever gone before and so did James Carr. After years in and out of prison (mostly in) Carr wound up bunking with George Jackson (Soledad Brother) in Folsom Prison, who taught him to read and write, and inspired him they fight for a position of strength along the radical stream of the 1960s including years with the Black Panthers, Angela Davis, the BLA and more. When finally released from prison, he married, had a daughter, and had just finished recording his memoir when he was murdered in front of his house in San Jose shortly before the book’s initial release. In BAD, Carr notes, “I’ve been struggling all my life to get beyond the choice of living on my knees or dying on my feet. It’s time we lived on our feet.” A book that strips the system bare, Carr’s memoir is revealing as a part of Black Panther history, and as a telling document in the ongoing battle for American prison reform.
The event will feature an introduction to the book by Gea Carr (daughter of James) along with readings by very special guest artists and supporters of prison reform. Copies of BAD will be avaialble for purchase at the event. General admission is $10; discounted admission for seniors and students is $6. The event is free of charge for Beyond Baroque members.
Beyond Baroque Literary Arts Center is at 681 Venice Blvd., Venice, CA 90291, phone: 310-822-3006. For additional information and reservations, email info@threeroomspress.com.

Water as an Issue for L. A. – Free and open to public.
When Wasn’t Water an Issue for LA. 1880-present. A presentation about the history of the water wars of Los Angeles. Sunday, Feb. 21, at Mark Taper Auditorium in Central Library downtown, co-sponsored by the Los Angeles Public Library and the Los Angeles City Historical Society. It will be a powerful Power Point Presentation about the history of Los Angeles’ struggle for water, with rarely and never-before-seen photographs and film, covering the privatization of the L.A. River, when the city agreed to a 30-year lease by a company that paid the city only $400 a year, while charging customers whatever it chose. It will present the intriguing and often misrepresented story of Mulholland and the L.A. Aqueduct, the many additional sources of imported water, the first recycling plant in Griffith Park in 1930, the continuing struggles with drought, the successful past and current recycling programs that serve Los Angeles, toilet-to-tap fiascos, and planning for the future by Los Angeles water and sanitation agencies.

Comedians Andy Rocco and Lisa Herring got married because they were dorky people (among other reasons) but that wasn’t enough for them. So they created a variety show to share their love for all things nerdy. Together they explore what’s new and exciting in nerd culture with sketches, characters, and stand up comedians, who will pretty much just talk about what ever they want.
Guests this month will be…
John Gemberling (Broad City)
Seaton Smith (Mulaney)
and Nerd Core Rapper, MC CHRIS
Plus other surprises
Tickets are $8 in advance / $10 at the door

The 7th Annual Edwardian Ball returns to Hollywood’s legendary and storied Fonda Theatre on Saturday, February 27, 2016 for ONE NIGHT ONLY. The “epic and elegant yet seductively dark affair that enchants all of the senses,” according to LA.com, is a re-imagined turn-of-the-century world that presents an inimitable, description-defying, whimsical and surrealistic living interpretation and celebration of the late macabre cult author, comic artist, illustrator and cartoonist Edward Gorey. http://www.edwardianball.com
Gorey is considered a ground-breaking, genre–defying graphic novelist who is credited with influencing Charles “Addams Family” Addams, Lemony Snicket, Neil Gaiman (Coraline and Day of the Dead), Rob Reger (Emily the Strange), Alison Bechdel,(Are You My Mother?: A Comic Drama and Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic), and Tim Burton (Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands, and Beetlejuice).
The Edwardian Ball blends live music, theatre, fashion and cosplay, circus, fine art, riveting stage shows, black comedy, science fiction, literature, ballroom dancing, and DJs into a whirlwind and enticing extravaganza set in a romanticized, gilded and genteel Neo-Victorian and Edwardian-era gothic and steampunk-tinged distant past that imagines an elegant alternate reality future. Other delightful attractions include a free portrait booth, rooftop vending, mystical and nonsensical oddities, absinthe cocktails, parlour games, alluring sideshows, and much more. All ages are welcome.
This multi-city, multi-media exposition of the eccentric and esoteric the SF Bay Guardian calls a “Gothic, ghoulish and glorious celebration,” has grown over the past fifteen years from an underground club party into an internationally recognized festival of the arts, drawing attendees from all over the world, operating with the blessing of The Edward Gorey Charitable Trust.
The Edwardian Ball, which has been dazzling San Francisco audiences since it first began in 2000, is described by the San Francisco Weekly as, “Think Vintage Fetish meets circus theatrics meets industrial arts mayhem;” “A surreal atmosphere filled with anachronistic wonders,” by the San Francisco Chronicle and “similar to Gorey’s work, there is nothing quite like this event,” states HorrorWorks.net. 944 Magazine calls The Edwardian Ball, “An over-the-top, colorful, quirky, eccentric, whimsical-yet-elegant costume party doesn’t even begin to describe the event,” and Buzzfeed calls it “the #1 Steampunk Event in the World.”
Saturday, February 27, 2016: The 7th Annual Edwardian Ball Los Angeles
The Edwardian Ball is presented by co-hosts Rosin Coven and Vau de Vire Society. Ballroom dancing leads way to stunning performances both on and offstage in a collage of fashion, theatre, music, circus performance, and dance. Each year, The Edwardian Ball presents a featured Edward Gorey tale in an original stage performance. This year’s event takes a unique turn, with Edwardian Ball founders Rosin Coven teaming up with longtime collaborators Dark Garden Corsetry in an operatic presentation of Gorey’s ridiculous tale, “The Stupid Joke.” Expect anything but stupidity as these masters of their craft collaborate in an unforgettable tale of a poorly planned joke gone incredibly wrong… And in the spirit of celebrating all things Edward Gorey, Ball co-hosts Vau de Vire Society present a series of vignettes throughout the evening paying homage to the most controversial works of the (in)famous illustrator… guaranteed to pop corsets and ruffle coattails!

LA Shoegaze band SOUND IS LOVV have released their debut EP “Shipwrecks” featuring Mike Byrne and Nicole Fiorentino.
REVIEW BELOW BY ROB WATTS. FOLLOW @RobWattsOnline
“Shipwrecks, the debut e.p. by Los Angeles based band, Sound is Lovv, is a beautiful blend of Shoegaze and Noiserock—stirring lush tones and lo-Fi wavelengths to create a pleasing sounding collection of music. Atmospheric and well-produced, Shipwrecks flows quite well, not veering off the road too much in one direction over another. It’s more or less, your six-song soundtrack to daydreaming your way out of your stressful day. “And Don’t Believe” and “Take Me With You” are saturated with reverb and shimmery guitars, while the vocals exude quite well through the gazing backdrop of sounds. “Love FM” has some rather amazing hooks while the opening and closing tracks bookend the album with instrumentals. Former Smashing Pumpkins members, Mike Byrne and Nicole Fiorentino make an appearance on Shipwrecks as well. It’s a well-worth-the-time listen, especially if you’re into emerging acts with new material. I recommend them. Check out Shipwrecks here and give it a listen! ”

SHANA HALLIGAN PRESENTS
‘BACK TO ME’ RELEASE SHOW
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12
AT THE HOTEL CAFÉ
“Let Shana Halligan shoot to the top of your attention. ‘Something Real’ is a slinky, smooth, electro-pop single reminiscent of AlunaGeorge, Hundred Waters, and Son Lux while still treading the delicate intimacies of someone too reserved to overwhelm you with an intense light show. Halligan’s upcoming LP, Back to Me, drops October 16. We’re betting it’s going to be one of the more memorable releases of 2015.” — Nerdist
BACK TO ME, the new album from sultry songstress SHANA HALLIGAN for Plug Research Music, is out now via Plug Research Music. Next month, SHANA HALLIGAN will perform a BACK TO ME release show presented by KCRW at The Hotel Café in Hollywood on Thursday, November 12, marking the first time the songstress will perform the album live. It will be a moving experience for SHANA HALLIGAN and fans alike, surely a moment not to miss.
The charm and charisma of Back To Me is an exploration of human sensuality told through songs of romance, heartache and personal reflection. Adding that perfectly sealed kiss of mystique, pain and hope, HALLIGAN’s uniquely tortured voice brings back the art of classic vocal allure mixed with modern-day, moody production. During and since her time as the lead singer/songwriter of Bitter:Sweet, HALLIGAN has sold more than 500,000 records and has accumulated over 70 album credits to her name.
SHANA HALLIGAN’s return to full form on BACK TO ME is of the flesh, of the heart and of the soul. Smart and sexy, the 13-track album challenges pre-conceived notions of pop music as she mixes her trip-hop background with downtempo, electronic-charged modern jazz. It’s a formula best represented on standout track “Illuminate,” an endearing introspection of unconditional love and acceptance set to the smooth beat of saddened, current-day pop equally comparable to Lorde and Lana Del Rey.
On the rainy day piano sulk of “Been Waiting,” HALLIGAN lets go of all inhibition and bears her total essence for all to witness. It exposes a tumultuous episode in her personal and professional life as it all gets complicated with her pregnancy (HALLIGAN discovered she was pregnant just as she was wrapping Back To Me and gave birth to her son Otis in July), which brings both feelings of intimidation and future dreams of motherhood.
Still, HALLIGAN sounds at her most powerful and most assertive on “Get Gone,” an ode to her past where she indefinitely kisses off all the spirits, relationships, and romances that once haunted her. In one fell swoop, she overcomes life’s biggest hurdles: “Go, get gone / I’m making big moves on my own.” Look for the video for “Get Gone” to debut soon.
“This album is about love, loss, finding my way to happiness and peace, finding strength, owning and accepting my passion, my humanness, feeling weak, and feeling strong again,” says HALLIGAN. “Eroticism, vulnerability, fear, and the deepest gratitude I can imagine. Connection, expression and art. Saying goodbye to anyone who thought I couldn’t make it and not being afraid to let go, to just be me and all that comes with it.”

Award-winning author, poet, playwright, and memoirist Aram Saroyan celebrates the release of his new detective novel STILL NIGHT IN L.A. (Three Rooms Press) with a reading at Skylight Books on Tuesday, October 13 at 7:30 pm.
“An Evening with Aram Saroyan” will feature the renowned author, with special guests actress Marcia Rodd and poet Michael C Ford, reading excerpts from the STILL NIGHT IN L.A., which author Gerald Nicosia praises as “a novel where the magic is all in the language. A signing follows the reading.
Award-winning journalist and author Richard Setlowe (The Haunting of Suzanna Blackwell) raves, “Aram Saroyan’s STILL NIGHT IN L.A. cruises the mean streets and trendy brunch boites of Los Angeles, this city of angels and psychopaths. His shamus Michael Shepard is a Marlowe for our digital times.”
And renowned author Barry Gifford (Wild at Heart) praises STILL NIGHT IN L.A.: “ram Saroyan nurses the accelerator in a deceptively laconic way, channeling the faultless ratiocination of Charles Willeford (Miami Blues) and Paul Cain (Seven Slayers). STILL NIGHT IN L.A. keeps still until, at just the right moment, he floors it.”
Copies of STILL NIGHT IN L.A. will be available for purchase and signing at the event.

The Southern California LoopFest is back for another round! The greatest, most creative musical event you’ve never heard of returns to diPiazza’s in Long Beach, 5202 E Pacific Coast Hwy, for two nights of music and technology from around the world! http://www.socalloopfest.com
The fest runs Oct 28th and 29th, shows start a 7pm and admission is by donation.
For those of you wondering what is a “LoopFest?” It is a showcase of music and technology performance artists. These artists use hardware and/or software technologies to instantly record and play back sound. It is a diverse, creative, innovative, and fascinating display of talent, science, and art. Looping has been around for decades in academia, avant garde, and incorporates new technologies into making sound.
All of the artists are highly talented, highly creative, highly interesting, and amazingly in technologies and styles. Some are noise, some use traditional song forms, some are ambient, some are powerful, some are subtle. Our debut year for the Rocky Mountain LoopFest features a mix of local and national talent performing a variety of music with an incredible amount of cool technology.
This year the SoCal LoopFest features performers from 8 states and 5 countries. Performers of note include L.A’s own Steuart Liebig, Zack Walters of 3rd Alley, Jambandman David Gans, Aldo Caldo’s comedy/musical presentation, vocal looper extraordinaire Alissa Vox Raw from Toronto Canada, and the incredible music and instruments of Cabezas de Cera from Mexico City, Mexico.

Los Angeles – For Immediate Release
R.K. Shuquem to Debut more than 50 Pieces of New Work on July 31st
@ Last Projects gallery, Hollywoood
Diverse multimedia artist R.K. Shuquem has immersed himself in the challenge of creating 50 original 6″ x 6″ art panels in 50 days, an ambitious undertaking begun on June 8, 2015, commissioned by the Sanchez Art Center.
For the series of 50 panels, Shuquem explores the theme of “jail cells” as a contemplation of psychological and spiritual perspectives, crafting bleak yet mystically evocative black-and-white pieces from India ink. The panels are a continuation of Shuquem’s dystopian and fictional production called Medieval Crimes, which uses imagery from the prison industrial complex in a symbolic manner to comment on human identities, relationships and power structures.
Shuquem will debut the full set of 50 pieces at the Blue Moon 2015 show at LAST Projects Gallery in Hollywood on Friday, July 31st. The night syncs up with the rare occurrence of this year’s blue moon, an extra full moon that occurs only once every 2-3 years. Blue Moon 2015 also offers a chance to see the Element Series, a set of four 66″ x 60″ large format works that Shuquem recently completed for his Medieval Crimes project, a multimedia dystopian fantasy in development since 2011.
In addition to Shuquem’s work, Blue Moon 2015 will feature new original pieces by LA-based psychedelic artist Nora Keyes. Keyes’ will be showing her tonda paintings, which she calls Portals. Her large round mixed media paintings are meant to serve as spiritual transit aids.
Blue Moon 2015 will have a closing reception at LAST Projects on Thursday August 20th.
Shuquem’s fifty panels will then be transported to Pacifica, California’s Sanchez Art Center for their annual 50/50 art show where 90 other artists who have also taken the challenge to create 50 works in 50 days will be showing the results of their efforts. Reception August 28.
Prints of the finished pieces are currently available from saatchiart.com/shuquem.

More About Rk Shuquem:
Rk Shuquem uses symbolism to explore the psychology of oppression in relationship to myth and spirituality. For the last few years, his creative output of ink drawings, printmaking, music, and video has centered around a fictional narrative of a prison-based reality show called Medieval Crimes.
Shuquem’s creative work first developed as part of the DIY punk culture of the 80’s in which he published zines, pressed records, and promoted shows. In the 90’s he began to tour nationally and internationally with his own music and performance groups. He started showing visual art regularly when he opened his own gallery in Chicago in 2005. Shuquem received a BFA in Fine Art in 2004 as well as a BA in Graphic Design from CSU East Bay in Hayward, California. For several years afterwards he worked as Art Director / Studio Manager at Chicago non-profit, The Arts of Life, inc. He also directed Reversible Eye gallery in Chicago from 2005 to 2012. He currently is a mixed media and printmaking instructor at ECF Art Center, Los Angeles.

More About Nora Keyes:
Nora Keyes has been an active member of the Los Angeles underground art and music scene since the mid ’90′s. Her visual and sonic creations are, as she describes Improvisations of the multiplicities of abundant realities that exist parallel to our own solidified view. Her main focus for her visual work is painting and collage combined with paint. In these works she uses multiple perspectives to make a shape shifting condensed landscapes that aid the viewer’s mind to have their own unique vision. Currently she is working on a series of tonda paintings, she calls Portals. These pieces are personal works/ alchemical markers that follow her own psychological metamorphosis as she ages and gains wisdom. Some of these paintings will take years while others may be produced in weeks. Her current contribution musically is a project called Roco Jet. A Roco Jet is a term that came to her in a dream which refers to a highly ornate bejeweled Rococo flying air ship. The music is meant to transport the listener out of their current mood constraints and free them to fly along in sonic emerald opalescent superabundant spheres made by the filigrees of their own mental lattice. Her visual and sonic work communicate to each other aiding in the development of both. My visual work is the way I think musically. I don’t enjoy reading notes off a page so much as I enjoy thinking about music in terms of visual landscapes. The juxtaposition of colors, plays on perspective, and the movements in paint are my musical notations.
SIREN CALL RETURNS TO LOS ANGELES FOR A STRING OF DATES AND VIDEO SHOOT
NEW SONG LA CRASH TO BE RELEASED IN AUGUST
BAND IN MIDST OF KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN
Based in Vienna, Austria Siren Call is Bulgarian born Yvonne Lace (vocals, bass) and US native Jason de Cordoba (guitar, backing vocals.) This multi-international duo works as a unit and has a knack for writing great hooks and bringing a multitude of different flavors to the table. They blend alternative rock with a bit of grunge and a lot of melodic pop, adding in emotional vocals to bring their sound to a poetic level.
Following up the April release of the video for their song ”Just A Man” the band gets set to drop a new single and video for the song “LA Crash” in late August.
See the video for “Just A Man” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kP2-bVzV40
Although they have already established themselves as contenders in the European scene the band is ready and eager to bring their music and message to the US masses. They are returning to Los Angeles this month with a string of dates on the Sunset Strip. The band has launched a kickstarter campaign to help fund their LA tour expenses and video cost, as part of this crowdfunded endeavor you are all invited to join in the fun and of course, there will be plenty of pledger only exclusives. Support their Kickstarter Campaign here: http://kck.st/1K80gEu
The band bristles with elegant, melodic aggression, potent roaring guitar and a soulful siren call.

Hey!
My name is Emm and I’m a 22 year old singer/songwriter/producer. I’ve been grinding in the industry for 6 years and been in and out of several contracts. Recently, I finally put out my first song “Avalanche.” I would be honored if you would be open to sharing it on your site. This song is unique because I created all of entirely by myself, and female artists that produce their own work well is rare in the business, so I was hoping that may be something that sparks your interest.
The link to the song is here: https://soundcloud.com/emminreallife/avalanche-emm
Please let me know if you’d be open to this!
Thank you!

Hello Pretty People,
Meet Jenny Swoish, OC’s sweetest country sweetheart. Check her website or read more about her below!
https://soundcloud.com/jenny-swoish
http://jennyswoish.com/
https://www.facebook.com/jenlynnmusic
Jenny Swoish is a pop-country-folk-jazz-whatever-you-like singer-songwriter based in Southern California. With her flexible vocal styling she’s found herself performing in all kinds of venues, from crooning at galas to national anthems in arenas to just belting at the bar next door. When it comes her newest release “To Me,” Jenny cuts to the chase and sings about what young love means to her and how she can only speak the true words of her heart through her music.
“This is an apology song for someone who was close to me, because we had just had an argument. I’m not always great with saying what I mean when I need to, so I wrote him this song so he would know,” Swoish says.
Her debut EP, Tornado, is a nice representation of Jenny herself: fresh, heartfelt, and nothing too terribly serious. You’ll hear an unmistakable dance-twang that screams pop-country in her first single “Tornado,” but you’ll just as soon hear a sophistication in the jazz overtones of “Written in the Stars.” All songs on the EP were written and performed by Jenny Swoish. Tornado is available for purchase on iTunes and Amazon.

I am one of the founders of Dylanfest, and each year we are treated to new talented artists, singers and bands and look forward to our favorites from previous years. Our biggest challenge is getting the word out to new people who love live music and incomparably great songs. If that’s you and you’re reading this, come join us on May 3rd for 8 hours of live Dylan music. For details, go to http://www.andyandrenee.com.
I have been to many of these Dylan Fest events too. These people really know how to put on a show. So much talent in one place at one time. There is something like 50 different performers that come out on stage and play a song or two with the main band, Hard Rain, and they all rock the house. Look forward to it every year. Thanks for the reminder.
Ten years of attending these Dylsnfests – now in its 25th year has turned me from a casual Dylan fan into one with a true deep appreciation of his 500+ compositions – on 100s of topics in all music genres. And you will meet wonderful people – Hard Rain and their magical network of musician friends, attract a fun, interesting, caring fan base – you will enjoy the day! See http://www.andyandrenee.com for details – May 3 2015 in Torrance – a well spent $30-35.
Dylanfest – celebrating Bob Dylan’s birthday for the 25th year!! On May 3 2015 at the Torrance Cultural Arts Center outstanding local musicians gather to interpret and perform Dylan’s music. 60+ musicians – all day, all Dylan, no repeats – all genres. A comfortable, sunny, outdoor venue (with Shelter from the Storm if necessary). Food and drink available. Details at http://www.andyandrenee.com.
Hey guys,
Come get spooky with us at Bar Sinister on Sat. April 25th!

NARIP Holds Exclusive Live Pitch Session with Top Music Supervisor Jason Kramer – March 11 in Los Angeles
Los Angeles, CA (March 9, 2015) – The National Association for Recording Industry Professionals (NARIP.com) will host an exclusive pitch session with Music Supervisor Jason Kramer from Elias Arts Music Agency.
At this intimate session, attendees will have the opportunity to present their music and receive instant feedback from one of the industry’s most sought-out executives who selects, commissions and licenses music for campaigns for some of the world’s most recognizable brands. Jason’s insights come from 20+ years of experience working in radio, management, consulting, and now as a music supervisor. He’s also a DJ on taste-maker radio station KCRW 89.9-FM.
Over 200 Placements
NARIP’s Music Supervisor Sessions have resulted in over 200 song placements in major TV shows, movies and commercials as well as artist management, music publishing and licensing deals for participants. And creative collaborations that have resulted are too numerous to mention.
“I’ve had 3 managers and 5 years of plugging away on the Internet for contacts and had more success getting material in front of a music supervisor with NARIP’s sessions than anything previously! Please keep it up, I will definitely attend more!” – Shay Dillon, Independent

My name is Sage Whitaker, and I along with my friend, Zoe Jones, made a video promposal to ask Zayn Malik and Harry Styles of One Direction to prom. Since we were in ninth grade, we knew that we wanted to ask a celebrity to prom, so much so that we put it on our ‘high school bucket list.’ Now that we have actually chosen who to ask, made our video, and put it out there, we just hope that the members of One Direction can end up viewing our video in time for our prom (May 9th, 2015 in Los Angeles, CA.) It would honestly make all of our prom dreams come true considering our love for One Direction. Thank you for considering to share our video, it means the world to us.

Hey there, I’m Alex Dawson. I’m a local Singer/Songwriter from Miami, FL and I would LOVE for you guys to publish about me and my music on your blog. Let me talk a little bit about me and my accomplishments so far. I am an artist working with MasterKey Entertainment, the founder being my manager. Together, we traveled to Atlanta, Georgia to attend the Driven Music Conference. My manager, Vanessa Spatz, was a sponsor and so I had the opportunity to perform one of my original songs in front of an A&R from Epic Records and both Zack and Kenneth from ZK Productions. They loved me and my music so I was offered to go back to produce some tracks with ZK Productions which are known for producing for bands like All Time Low and Mayday Parade. I am now following up with Epic Records. I just released my first Single called “Your Story” and I am getting ready to go back to Atlanta to finish my first EP. You can contact me through this email or my manager’s email. Thank you

An intriguing ensemble founded in 2012, Sasha’s Bloc is an amalgam of varied artists, nationalities and experiences, all fueled by bassist and songwriter Alex Gershman to deliver a sound that is consistently big, boisterous, full of spirit and rich in everything that makes jazz linger as an American phenomenon. On Heart On Fire, Gershman is honored to have Grammy-nominated vocalist Jane Monheit perform on multiple tracks.
The group has built a name for itself in recent years via multiple sold out concerts at the key Jazz Clubs in Los Angeles, including Catalina Bar and Grill, Vibrato and Vitello’s. Gershman’s goal, via the group’s successful performances and now on Heart On Fire, is to create a signature sound for Sasha’s Bloc that he describes as “fresh, well-developed and above all lyrically progressive.” Citing Fats Waller, Scott Joplin and Duke Ellington as primary examples, Gershman comments, “My hope is that the Sasha’s Bloc will help bring these great American cultural achievements to modern life and contemporary audiences.”

The Youngest at Kulak’s Woodshed on February 22nd
In March of 2014, we formed The Youngest in the small, yet thanks to ZZ Top, infamous, town of La Grange, Texas. Coming from San Francisco, Chicago, Houston and Boston, we gelled as a musical group by living, eating, and playing together all day every day on a 99-acre ranch. Our first gigs were at dive bars (I mean REAL dive bars, made out of plywood) and saloons in front of who would become in a few short months our diehard La Grange fans. The newness of our surroundings proved invaluable to our creative process and we used the desolate beauty around us to write songs that reflected the incredible shift our lives had just experienced.
We recorded our album in two parts: half on the ranch in La Grange and half at our friends brand new studio in Nashville: Wild Road. It wasn’t easy whittling down our diverse and incredibly personal catalogue of music from 25+ original songs to 11 but we did it, creating an album, Feral Road, which is equal parts rock and roll, folk, and country. Feral Road was released on October 3rd of 2014. Tracks number 1 (Our Town), 2 (Thick As Thieves) , 3 (Art of Life) and 9 ((Don’t Tell Me That) I’m The One) are Feral Road’s singles.
You can find a streaming link of Feral Road on SoundCloud here:
https://soundcloud.com/theyoungest-2
And a drop box file here with downloadable attachments here:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/aa7pdp5ad7cksf3/AACedZTKeGCzb64RvA9W4p4Ca?dl=0
Immediately after completing our album, we embarked on a 35+ stop, self booked Midwest tour to show our family and friends what we had been working on for the last six months. The show was a resounding success and included a show with rising country group Hugh Bob and the Hustle in Kansas City and a sold out performance in Chicago. We pride ourselves on our live shows, which we think showcase our musicianship and passion. After seeing one of our shows in Detroit, one writer suggested “schedule in pen, not pencil, a time to see The Youngest”
Being such a young band, we’re definitely looking forward to our future, which includes a four-week West Coast tour in February including shows at storied venues such as the Cubby Bear in Chicago and Off Broadway in Saint Louis. We hope to break into the festival scene this summer and continue to grow and improve as an independent band.

QUINN ARCHER TO APPEAR AT LA’S FAMOUS “THE MINT”
Rock & soul singer-songwriter Quinn Archer, and featuring the 17th street artists, will appear at LA’s treasured music club, The Mint, Friday January 16th at 9:15 p.m. (www.quinn-archer.com). Recognized as one of LA’s leading emerging gothic soul artist, Quinn Archer is known for her gritty bluesy rock style singing with pure and refreshing vulnerability.
The word diva calls to mind some of music’s most acclaimed vocalists, and most infamous bad-girl behavior. Fortunately, Rock & Soul singer Quinn Archer is the quintessential diva, but only in the former sense. Archer’s tunes, from the smoldering “Dark Places,” to the quiet, thoughtful ballad “Rest of My Days,” are siren songs—her soulful voice drawing in listeners; her lyrics expressing a disembodied longing featuring unrelenting emotion that are simply beyond words.
Doors open at 7:30 p.m. Tickets: Pre-sales $10.00; $12.00 at the door. (http://themintla.com/event.cfm?id=175713&cart)
The Mint: 6010 West Pico Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90035. Phone: 323.954.9400. http://www.themintla.com
Quinn Archer released her first North American EP entitled “Dark Places” in late 2014.

GO BETTY GO NEW EP REBOOT OUT ON JANUARY 27TH
NEW MUSIC VIDEO FOR THE SONG “IT HAUNTS YOU NOW”
RECORD RELEASE PARTY ON JANUARY 25TH AT THE ROXY THEATRE
WITH THE DOLLYROTS AND A PRETTY MESS
Hailing from the outskirts of Los Angeles the fiery ladies of Go Betty Go are back with their original line-up and new EP REBOOT, produced by Ted Hutt (The Gaslight Anthem, Mighty Mighty BossTones, Flogging Molly) out on January 27.
Catch the new video for the song “It Haunts You Now” here: http://youtu.be/GLGNv_bpysU
With REBOOT, the incomparable Latina quartet is about to re-establish themselves as one of punk rock’s most original forces. A gloriously rough and tumble recording bristling with the band’s characteristic elegant, melodic aggression, a compelling showcase for Betty Cisneros’ big, roaring guitar, singer Nicolette Vilar’s soulful, siren call and the momentous urgency of Michelle Rangel’s bass and Aixa Vilar’s tumultuous drumming.
The new material’s more penetrating emotional statements reflect their singularly unusual shared history. Formed in 2000 when they were all attending high school in Glendale California, Go Betty Go swiftly ascended from local shows to a standing room only weeknight residency at Los Angeles dive Mr. T Bowl’s to a national reputation via reams of critical acclaim and non-stop gigging. Go Betty Go surged through two lengthy Warped tours, frequent appearances in Mexico, an attention getting invasion of South by Southwest and seemingly had it made. With the release of 2005’s Nothing is More on SideOneDummy Records, their first full length album, set out a coast to coast tour with MxPx. They never finished it—Nicolette, exhausted, unhappy and burned out, suddenly quit. Now, Go Betty Go is back as suddenly as they had split.
That renewal and excitement crackles through REBOOT like a high voltage jolt of electricity, and the girls are poised to reclaim their rightful prominence as some of the brightest, boldest women in punk rock.
REBOOT will be available for pre-order on January 13.

‘Your Big Day’ is a story of unrequited love, one shared but never invested in. It is the story of a man holding his tongue until the aisle; a love known all too well by many but admitted by only a few.

The LA-based rock quintet Dream Hydra brings together pop hooks and rock intensity, energized by rich, soaring harmonies.
Songwriter Mark Popeney and guitarist Mark Stephenson started a band with dreams of tight vocals and memorable tunes. When vocalist Michael Pourshalimi joined in 2010, the Dream Hydra sound came to life. The mythical Hydra has many heads – if you cut one off, two will grow back in its place. After a couple heads were slashed clean off, the addition of Rory Snively on bass and Patrick Weber on drums finally gave the band the hard-hitting groove they’d been searching for.
Anchored by the co-lead vocals of Michael and the two Marks, Dream Hydra’s brand of rock is original yet familiar. With thoughtful songwriting that dances between pop and prog, polished vocal harmonies evocative of the ‘70s, and a punk edge, Dream Hydra is at times poppy, at times artful, and at all times unforgettable. The Dream Hydra sound is an ear-catching mix that recalls the Beatles, Fun, and Muse.
Dream Hydra recently released its debut album, Radiant, available on iTunes, Amazon, and your favorite online music retailer.
Dream Hydra’s epic first album, Radiant, tells a powerful story of love, the end of the world, and new beginnings.
Led by the three-way lead vocals of Pourshalimi, Popeney, and Stephenson, Dream Hydra channels classic rock greats like Queen and the Beatles in the new millennium with infectious tunes and soaring, bombastic harmonies. With toe-tapping beats courtesy of Snively on bass and Weber on drums, Dream Hydra mixes pop, alternative, progressive rock, and reggae in a blender and serves it by the pitcher. With ringing guitars, swirling synths, and rumbling bass, Radiant will have you coming back for seconds.
The end of civilization. A new love. The search for answers. Featuring songs penned by Popeney, Stephenson, and Pourshalimi, Radiant takes the listener on a timeless journey. A vision of love and loss in a shattered world. Radiant asks the question: is there a chance for redemption when all hope is gone?

GO BETTY GO ARE BACK WITH THEIR ORIGINAL LINE UP AND THEIR NEW EP “REBOOT”
COMING IN EARLY 2015
SEE THEM ON STAGEIT ON NOVEMBER 1 FOR A LIVE STREAM SHOW TO GET A SNEAK PEEK AT SOME OF THE SONGS FROM THE UPCOMING EP
Picking up where they left off the fiery and fearless girls of Go Betty Go have reunited with their original line-up, completed a PledgeMusic campaign and are planning to release an EP of all new material in early 2015. Currently the band is wrapping up recording with producer Ted Hutt.
Join them on November 1 at 6:30pM PST on StageIt.com for a special live stream show, where they will be playing songs from their upcoming EP “Reboot.” Get your ticket before they’re gone at:
https://www.stageit.com/go_betty_go/day_of_the_dead_reboot_show/41228
In 2004 the band caught the attention of SideOneDummy Records and released their debut EP, Worst Enemy that spring. They toured seemingly nonstop from coast to coast behind it before entering the studio with producer Ted Hutt (Flogging Molly) to lay down a full-length album. The resulting record, Nothing Is More, was released in September 2005, accompanied by more touring with stints on the Van’s Warped Tour, television appearances, song placements on various TV shows/movies and video games.
Hailing from Los Angeles, CA, Go Betty Go are Sisters Nicolette (lead vocals) and Aixa Vilar (drums), Betty Cisneros (guitar), and Michelle Rangel (bass). Now with their DIY roots firmly planted the foursome is revitalized and road ready. Despite the popular saying, punk rock is still very much alive and kicking.

1615 Vine St. LA 90028
http://booksoup.com/herbie-hancock-2014
The long-awaited memoir by one of the most influential and beloved musicians of our time. In HERBIE HANCOCK, the legendary jazz musician and composer reflects on a life and a thriving career that has spanned seven decades. A true innovator, Hancock has had an enormous influence on both acoustic and electric jazz, R&B and hip-hop, with his ongoing exploration of different musical genres, winning fourteen Grammy awards along the way. From his beginnings as a child prodigy to his work in Miles Davis’s second great quintet; from his innovations as the leader of his own groundbreaking sextet to his collaborations with everyone from Wayne Shorter to Joni Mitchell and Stevie Wonder; Herbie Hancock reveals the method behind Hancock’s undeniable musical genius. Hancock shares his musical influences, colorful behind-the-scenes stories, his long and happy marriage, and how Buddhism inspires him creatively and personally. Honest, enlightening, and as electrifyingly vital as the man who wrote it, Herbie Hancock promises to be an invaluable contribution to jazz literature and a must-read for fans and music lovers. (Viking)
This evening Herbie Hancock will be in conversation with LA Times Jazz Critic Don Heckman about his life, career and his craft. Questions will be collected prior to the start of the event and a book signing will follow the event.

Compton musician MARLON WELCH is a musical amalgam. Defying traditional genre categories, Welch carves out his own niche in the current musical landscape by combining musical elements evocative of old school R&B legends like Luther Vandross and Marvin Gaye with modern pop tastes to produce a fresh sound. His new single IN THE CROWD is the exciting first glimpse into his eclectic musical persona. The track fearlessly kicks off with Welch’s bare vocals and quickly explodes into an up-tempo musical melting pot combining a strong modern beat with jazzy referential brass accompaniments. By harkening back to earlier eras of Blues and Soul, Welch unpretentiously elevates his R&B sound to a level of sophistication that is often lacking in the genre while simultaneously injecting levity through its pop characteristics. This unexpected merger of old and new produces a sound that is undeniably feel-good and catchy while maintaining musical integrity through its classic R&B references.
As a lifelong artist, musical integrity has notable importance for Welch. Growing up in a household dedicated to classic R&B and performing weekly in the church choir left Welch’s musical identity imprinted with elements of soul, funk, and gospel. Concurrently, Welch maintained appreciation for modern performers and sounds. Passionate about entertainment from a young age, Welch entered a local poetry contest, which gave him the opportunity to meet Beyoncé Knowles. After hearing Welch’s piece, Welch recalls the living legend meeting his gaze and firmly telling him to keep writing and never abandon his musical dreams. Welch cites this experience as a defining moment; when his musical dreams became his identity.
While IN THE CROWD is not Welch’s first foray into the music industry, it marks his first true musical introduction to the world. As a young artist, Welch released an EP, which led to prominent opportunities with Capitol Records that exposed him to all aspects of life as a recording artist. Having opened for major artists, composed music, performed in front of large audiences as part of a national tour, and recorded a music video for his lead single, Welch was fully immersed in the music industry by age 20.
After being delivered a shocking medical diagnosis, Welch suffered clinical depression and chose to take a hiatus from recording to focus on his health and education by returning to the Los Angeles Recording School. Through months of therapy and introspection, Welch achieved a deeper understanding of himself. When he slowly resumed songwriting and collaborating with other artists, he found that he had a radically different persona. His message was more sincere, his delivery more vulnerable, and his image more bohemian. Welch had entered a new era musically, and began developing a new EP as an independent artist, allowing him greater sincerity in both his image and sound. Despite facing adversity and spiritual rebirth at a young age, Welch maintains exuberance by choosing to boldly reemerge on the music scene as a bohemian, eclectic artist inspired by Soul and infused with modern pop/dance as showcased in IN THE CROWD.

‘Stand Up for Main Street’ 2014 – a Comedy Benefit for National Consumer Watchdog Group Public Citizen
Because Democracy Doesn’t Happen in a Vacuum, Good Government Groups Need Public Support as Well as a Great Sense of Humor
WHAT: An all-star line-up of comics are waiting in the wings to lend their support to Public Citizen – one of the nation’s preeminent public interest groups – at its annual comedy fest, “Stand Up for Main Street.” For 43 years, the take-no-prisoners consumer advocacy organization has been standing up to government and the undue influence of corporations. Now we have a group of hard-charging comics who are returning the favor by doing stand-up for us.
The Washington, D.C.-based watchdog group is a champion of the public interest, representing citizens’ rights before the executive branch agencies, Congress and the courts. The organization remains fiercely independent because it accepts no money from corporate or government entities, relying on funding from member support, foundations and the generosity of average Americans. Its programs include public health and safety, financial reform, campaign finance reform, fair trade practices, government transparency, environmentally sound energy policy and more.
WHEN: 6:30–8:30 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 19
WHERE: The Writers Guild Theater, 135 South Doheny Drive, Beverly Hills, Calif.
WHO: Steve Skrovan, Public Citizen board member, co-host
Lew Schneider, executive producer, “Everybody Loves Raymond”, co-host
Kevin Nealon, “Saturday Night Live” and “Weeds”
Carol Leifer, “Saturday Night Live” and “Late Night with David Letterman”

STREAM THE FIRST TWO TRACKS OFF CRYSTAL SISTER’S SELF-TITLED EP, OUT OCTOBER 3, 2014
https://soundcloud.com/crystalsister
Nothing can quite prepare you for the leap that Sonya Bender of Crystal Sister has taken with her first self-titled EP. Through the collaborative efforts of Bender and producer Daniel Luttrell (Sky Ferreira and Nikka Costa), Crystal Sister successfully bridges the gap between the genres of lo-fi chill wave and ethereal pop. With a wide array of layered vocals, shimmering synths, and tracks boasting in fresh, insightful lyrics, Bender’s artistic vision is truly realized on the upcoming EP which is both aesthetically moving and compelling. The music itself focuses primarily on the joy and heartbreak of relationships. From the harsh realities of love lost and rediscovered, the struggles to remain hopeful, to the battles with one’s identity.
“Inside My Heart” revels in the overwhelming vulnerability between lovers brought together by true passion, while spotlighting the disillusion of love that comes from giving oneself entirely to another.
“This is likely the track that is missing from the Drive Soundtrack…Complete playlist composite of Chvrches, Grimes, and Pawws…”
-Killing Moon
“She showcases a pop edge that seemingly draws from the likes of Gwen Stefani, in being super slick, whilst focusing on massive choruses..”
-Crack In The Road

The multitalented band, FOREBEAR, originally known as Wise Cub, who will be making their debut performance at The Silver Lake Lounge on Tuesday, September 9th @ 10:00PM. With a strong vocal presence and superior harmonies, the band has made the jaws drop of many.
You can check out live performance here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOgezHjBBuo
Originally known as WiseCub, which formed in 2010. Scott Goldbaum (lead vocals, guitar), Molly Rogers (viola, keys, vocals), Mike Musselman (drums), and Nick Chamian (bass) seamless went through their evolution to Forebear a year ago. Taking cues from cinematic and classical influences, Forebear creates and molds a surreal listening experience with solos that are sometimes brooding, sparse statements; and other times lyrical, fleeting phrases.
Flawlessly weaving together a truly unique voice with spectacular harmonies, Forebear creates beautiful songs that people will talk about long after the final notes are played. “Sixty seconds in and suddenly I’m aware that I don’t care about the band I came to see anymore, so long as he keeps singing. The honesty and passion in his has the entire audience holding its breath and when he finally stops, we roar.” (Flip XY Magazine)
You can listen to their new single here: https://soundcloud.com/forebearband/north-korea-the-five-stages-of-grief

On October 3, 2014 Voila Gallery and The Lyric Theatre welcome Ruthie Foster, for the release of her new album “Promise of a Brand New Day”.
Bio
From houses of worship to houses of blues, Ruthie Foster has always been a rafter-rattler. And with a soul-filled voice honed in Texas churches, she can move audiences to tears or ecstasy — sometimes in a single song. Her last two albums, 2009’s The Truth According to Ruthie Foster and 2012’s Let It Burn, moved the Recording Academy to deliver Best Blues Album Grammy nominations; her latest, Promise of a Brand New Day, releasing August 19 on Blue Corn Music, could make her a contender once more.
For this effort, Foster put Meshell Ndegeocello in charge as her producer and then got out of the way, letting the lauded singer and bassist call the shots regarding players, takes, and mixing. “I wanted this album to highlight Ruthie’s voice and also communicate her vibe, give a fuller picture of her artistry and ability,” explains Ndegeocello. “She really trusted me with the music and I think we’ve made something that complements and holds its own alongside the power of her voice.”
Ndegeocello played bass and enlisted her regular guitarist Chris Bruce (Sheryl Crow) and keyboardist Jebin Bruni (Aimee Mann), plus drummer Ivan Edwards and backing vocalist Nayanna Holley. Foster did request two special guests: guitarist Doyle Bramhall II and singer Toshi Reagon.

Announcing the new Los Angeles band Love is the Law
For this of you in LA:
We’re releasing an album in about two months but have four songs available to hear right now, one of which is called ‘LA Traffic’. This song was conceived in my car during the stale rush of Los Angeles traffic, with the setting of the sun in the amazing West. My lyrics show the city of LA as the Promised Land with a huge waiting line. It parallels the American Dream, which is what the city of LA personifies to so many people, ourselves included. Free download on our website.

TICKETS NOW ON SALE FOR VAGABOND’S “9 CIRCLES” AMIDST RENEWED CONFLICT IN IRAQ
Los Angeles, August 20, 2014 – A volatile young man and ex-soldier must face his demons in the award-winning 9 CIRCLES by Bill Cain. New L.A. theatre company, VAGABOND, produces while Alexis Jacknow directs the show, which runs Sept. 12 – Oct. 5 at The Sherry Theater in North Hollywood’s Arts District.
Based on the true story of Iraq War soldier Steven Dale Green and the 2006 Mahmudiyah killings, 9 CIRCLES follows Private Daniel Reeves on a haunting journey while seeking redemption for crimes he committed during his time in Iraq. Green was the first to be convicted under the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act in 2009 for the rape and killing of a young Iraqi girl and her family. He committed suicide last February. “We are the first production to mount this play since Steven Dale Green committed suicide in prison this year,” says Jacknow. “There is a responsibility and gravity that comes along with that that the cast and I want to honor. I hope that 9 CIRCLES will make audiences reflect on how we pass judgment on others, both in our daily lives and as citizens of this country.”
The audience is the jury in Reeves’ trial and, in the 36-seat Sherry Theater, they will have no choice but to witnesses an acute examination of some of the most complex issues facing our society today.
“We wanted our inaugural show to be something relevant that sparked conversation, but also took people on an amazing journey,” explains Executive Director of Production, Alex Hughes. “9 CIRCLES uses a soldier’s post-traumatic mind as a lens to explore topics of the post-war health of veterans, capital punishment, and the state of our nation after an unpopular 13-year war.”
To pay tribute to soldiers, past and present, VAGABOND will present a special preview of 9 CIRCLES exclusively for veterans and their families on Thursday, September 11th. VAGABOND has worked closely with the USVAA (United States Veterans Artists Alliance) throughout the production and will present talkbacks with American veterans at the Sunday matinee performances.
The cast for 9 CIRCLES includes Jake Green, Lucas Dixon, Skip Pipo, and Margaux Susi. The design and creative team includes Donald Pawloski, scenic design; Season Mustful, costume design; and Meagan McGrory, stage manager.
Tickets start at $15. Discounted tickets are available for $12 for active-duty and retired military personnel.
VAGABOND is a project of the Pasadena Arts Council’s EMERGE program.

KICKBALL FOR A HOME Celebrity Kickball Tournament
Set for August 16 at USC
Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption launches new national fundraising campaign
WHAT: Join the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption (DTFA) for an exciting kickball tournament, where top teams and celebrity supporters will go head to head to win the ultimate championship, all to help children in foster care find forever families. Kickball for a Home will be held in Los Angeles on August 16, 2014, at the University of Southern California’s Cromwell Field from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Because adoption is a team effort, Kickball for a Home will raise money and awareness for children in Los Angeles, and the more than 100,000 children in the U.S. who are waiting in foster care to be adopted.
The campaign will launch on July 14, 2014 on CrowdRise at CrowdRise.com/KickballForAHome, where players can register to compete in a fundraising challenge for team spots in the single elimination tournament. The final teams in the championship game will win the chance to be joined on the field by celebrity players.
Kickball for a Home will have non-stop action including live musical performances, celebrity appearances, kickball skeeball, corn hole, giant Jenga, oversized bowling, and more.
The Coca-Cola Company generously supports the National “Kickball for a Home” program so that funds raised go directly to support the Foundation’s programs and awareness initiatives.
As the only nonprofit charity dedicated to finding homes for children waiting in foster care, the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption will use the money raised to educate the public on adoption from foster care, and provide grants to support more adoption recruiters across the country who use the Foundation’s signature child-focused recruitment program. Children served through this program are up to 300% more likely to get adopted – children who many have considered “unadoptable.”
WHO: Confirmed talent attendees and players forthcoming.
WHEN: Saturday, August 16, 2014
WHERE: University of Southern California – Cromwell Field
850 West 37th St., Los Angeles, CA 90089

Los Angeles-based EDM band, Vío, are releasing their debut EP, Keep On Lovin’, which features a mix of electro pop, trip hop and neoclassical dark wave. You are invited to their Listening Party, and feast on free cookies and coffee on Thursday, July 10th at Aroma Bakery Bar and Grill, 7373 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, 90046.

Band info: The Keep On Lovin’ EP is partially produced by ‘Scobra’, and features collaborations with ‘Gentleman Junkie’ front-man, Ed Korn, and ‘So High Above the Sky’. Keep On Lovin’ precedes their single, Don’t Say That, receiving airplay in Europe, as Vío was selected as Featured Artist on the radio show Gaga Eletrix GETV. Vío was recently Artist of the Week on Normality’s RantRadio Industrial, and made it to the top 10 finalists in the Blast Your Music Contest at Stage Red Studios.
When onstage, Vío combines electronic dance music with live instrumentation such as viola, guitar, drums, keyboard and bass guitar. This is reflected in the music of Keep On Lovin’, mixing modern and ancient, organic and digital. Keep On Lovin’ has many themes like desire, compassion and even politics, with a dark, seductive and ethereal sound you can dance to. The upbeat, yet mellow “Out of Sync (Renaissance Remix)” is followed by neoclassical “Question”, which delves into themes like the Inquisition and the Occupy movement. “Don’t Say That” is a trip hop anthem which ponders censorship, and was chosen as May’s selected Track of the Month on UK’s Ads Record’s Podcast and streamed globally. Vio’s video, ‘Don’t Say That’, has also been chosen as Video of the Month for July!

Based out of Los Angeles, Dreaming Bull is what you get when you mix rock ‘n roll with dirty juke joint blues and gospel shouts. Their self produced, self-titled album is out now.
The band is a work of collaborative musical art by Gabe Rowland and Nic Capelle. It was a chance meeting between music lifers: Gabe’s band opened for Nic’s in Chicago, the two – Gabe from Northeast LA and Nic from Western Australia – bonded over a mutual love of “dusty, old vintage gospel and lost blues.”
“On an ice-cold walk down Irving Park in Chicago,” Gabe explains, “we decided: heavy gospel influence, a little garage-psychedelic… We always acknowledge those parameters,” Gabe continues, “but the music takes on a life of its own. Once it gets dragged through all the early Van Halen records that are in your gut, it’s going to come out modern.”
A lot of craft goes into what sounds like abandon. Gabe sat behind the kit for Moby, John Cale and his own bands Momma Stud (Virgin) and The Peak Show (Atlantic), and is a go-to collaborator for Beastie Boys producer Mario C. Nic’s first band won an international talent search when he was 20. His later outfit Capelle built a fierce following in Europe.
Their sound has already been prized by music supervisors. The songs “No Use” from the debut album added dramatic punch to the season finale of USA’s “Suits.” And “Get Things Done” soundtracked Carl’s Jr.’s “X-Men: Days of Future Past” ad while “Dirty Girl” fit the vibe for FX’s “Sons of Anarchy.”

Dear Editor:
I hope this email finds you well . How are you ? I was hoping to catch your interest re: the following project I am working on .
As I noticed driving through Los Angeles how many retail store fronts are available for rent and just siting there empty I revisited the idea again to use empty store fronts as stage to showcase local artists. A public ART installation that will reenergize the neighborhood so to speak
My thought behind it is , that trendy shopping areas in Los Angeles are NOT losing its cachet, they are simply in transition to become even more beautiful. Even though a lot of the stores are vacant, despite drastic rent reductions, it sometimes does look a little meek around town , realizing that all the glamorous stores have either closed or moved and have left behind a rather “ugly” promenade of empty store fronts .
In order to make this transition a bit more exciting , I have teamed up with local commercial real estate agents and landlords, gathered 8 very talented artists , and we are trying to use the empty store fronts for ART displays until a new renter have signed a new lease .
Everyone benefits from it :
– Provides an exciting new way to market vacant properties to potential tenants
– Increases pedestrian traffic to surrounding busainess
– Showcases vacant retail spaces in new ways, inspiring new users
– allows artists to showcase their work to exhibit their work
– Offers emerging artists the oppurtunity to exhibit their work
– Increases the presence of ART in the community
So in order to cover direct expenses , I started a kickstarter campaign hoping to raise and to create awareness for this project . I got a great responds , many well wishes, but I was hoping that maybe you would be interested to highlight the effort of promoting community art as well ? It is such a great project and it does take a village to get it going .
Campaign:

I have included two links with more information and I am hoping that I maybe caught your interest at least a little and it would be great if you could make a pledge or help to spread the word .
I appreciate your time . Thank you .
Sincerely,

7HORSE RELEASE NEW ALBUM SONGS FOR A VOODOO WEDDING
BAND PLAYS MOLLY MALONE’S ON JUNE 29
“Songs for a Voodoo Wedding’ are back alley tales, gin joint anecdotes and street corner legend backs by throw back blues playing which would make Robert Johnson stand up and profess his love to 7Horse.” – Innocent Words
7Horse’s Joie Calio and Phil Leavitt are releasing their new album Songs For A Voodoo Wedding today, produced by the two longtime friends and bandmates, engineered by Jonathan Chi and Scott Gordon, mixed by Dave Way and mastered by Howie Weinberg. The band is currently on the first wave of their summer dates.
“their musical chemistry is clear throughout the album” –Celebrity Café
The duo’s well-versed roots in rock ‘n’ roll’s rich past and previous success with both solo and collaborative projects have catapulted 7Horse to noteworthy status. The release of the new album coincides with The Holy Day of Voodoo: St. Johns Eve, a celebration that honors the Voodoo Queen Maria Laveau, and much of the inspiration for the new album comes from a visit to New Orleans. The Big Easy is a city the vocalist/drummer had visited often while on tour, but he’d never spent considerable time there until he went to attend a friend’s wedding. “It got the juices flowing.” Explained Leavitt said.
”a unique sound with skill behind it” – The Examiner.com
From Calio’s dirty blues licks to Leavitt’s earnest, unadorned vocals, Songs for a Voodoo Wedding sounds like the work of two guys who’ve turned over the soil and found the roots. Calio points out, it doesn’t feel like a do-over. “We don’t feel like this is the second bite off the apple,” he says. “That was a different apple. This is the one.”

“His lyrics are woven in aberration, sarcasm and a subtle absurd prestige with a visceral delivery and burly vocals that exude confidence and grace like someone on the radio. Nhat is a far landing from the sometimes awkward and amateur transmittal stumbling in from the bulk of most DIY nerdcore.” – Artist PR

Hi!
I was inquiring about submitting to be considered for an article/write-up on your blog!
We would absolutely love the opportunity as we think you would love our program, inspired to create a movement, called shirtS4Straws. shirtS4Straws provides the access of a reusable water filter (LifeStraw) to children in Africa and Central America through the purchase of 100% organic cotton t-shirt.
We are here to create a movement to inspire thousands, potentially millions. We have already partnered with LifeStraw, Whole Foods Markets and Groceries Apparel! Please help us achieve this goal as everyone who sees or hears about us is another opportunity someone has to get access to clean drinking water.
Thank you so much!
Best,
Zac Wasserman

Hey Losanjealous,
My name is Morgan and I work with Substance Co Music. We have worked with bands like Tame Impala and Young the Giant, and are currently working with the new indie-pop band “Imperial Mammoth”. The band is a personal favorite of mine. Check out the new single, “Little Earthquakes”
https://soundcloud.com/imperial-mammoth/little-earthquakes-2
The full “Gold Confetti” LP will be released later this month.
Learn more about the band-
IMPERIAL MAMMOTH
Leonard Jackson / Laura Jane Scott
INDIE POP
For fans of: The Naked and Famous, CHVRCHES, Foster The People
Imperial Mammoth began in bed. When musician Laura Jane Scott lay in recovery from knee-surgery, her boyfriend and fellow singer-songwriter Leonard Jackson brought his guitar to pass the time. Together they sang, and wrote some songs, and thought it sounded good enough to record.
It didn’t take long for people to agree. Their debut single “Requiem On Water” landed in the Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 1 soundtrack (certified gold), and featured in a key scene in the film. Just a week after their own wedding, Laura and Leonard played their first show as Imperial Mammoth to 1500 fans at the Breaking Dawn premiere.
They soon followed with the EP, “Where Satellites Fall,” building their fan base with over thirty placements in TV and film, including spots in Parenthood, About A Boy, Awkward, Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice, Ragz, and Drop Dead Diva.
The band grew, and the sound got bigger. They enlisted cutting-edge producer Nate Pyfer (Kascade, Mideau), and mixer Mark Needham (The Killers, Walk The Moon, Imagine Dragons) to actualize their biggest work to date, the new LP: Gold Confetti (out June 24th, 2014 on Bleed101 Records).
Even as the music propels them into daring territories, the eleven song album finds the band — much like the great beasts that gave them their name — stuck in the past. From their fondness for Raymond Chandler’s Hollywood (The Last One To Leave The Party), and the bittersweet pull of distant loves (The Limitless Hours and Mooncatcher), to their re-casting of a local crime as a mediation on villainy (Fifty-Five Fires), Imperial Mammoth is a band that can’t let go.
It makes sense then that they describe the new album as a study of timeless themes. Or, as put by Jackson, Gold Confetti is an album of “songs about love, loss, and longing — $.099 each.”
They will be touring nationally in conjunction with the record’s release.
Thanks!

LOUIS PRIMA JR. AND THE WITNESSES TO RELEASE “BLOW” JUNE 10
ON WARRIOR RECORDS / UNIVERSAL MUSIC DISTRIBUTION
BAND TO PLAY THE MINT OH JUNE 6
A different kind of musical dawn is coming with flashes of rowdy big band, simmering soul and swaggering rock ‘n’ roll as Louis Prima Jr. and the Witnesses prepare to ignite a new legacy with their second full-length album, Blow out June 10 on Warrior Records/Universal Music Distribution.
See the video for the song GO LETS GO here:
http://louisprimajr.com/video/go-lets-go-lyric-video/
With Blow, Prima and the Witnesses revive a boogie woogie spirit for the modern generation. “The message is to have a good time and enjoy life,” explains Prima. “Get up and move. This album is hyper. It makes you want to dance.” Not content to sit on the legacy they so passionately protect, LPJ and the band are taking a page from his father’s playbook, by wailing “Prima-Style” like its 2014.
Originally formed in 2007, Louis Prima Jr. and the Witnesses began to hit full stride at their breakout performance at the 2010 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. They’ve toured from Los Angeles to Sicily and shared the stage with everyone from Aretha Franklin to Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. Impatiently waiting to show the world what mayhem could come from the collective talents and years of diverse musical experience that make up the whole of its members. If you’ve seen them in concert, you’ll know a bit about what to expect from the musical minds of the Witnesses. As energetic and over-the-top as their live shows, BLOW continues the ever-changing musical journey that Prima Sr. began in the 30’s.
Building off of the success of their critically acclaimed debut CD Return of the Wildest!, Prima and the Witnesses immersed themselves in writing original music for the first time together and headed into the studio with co-producer and Warrior Records C.E.O. Jim Ervin. Recorded at Capitol Records in Studio B, where Prima Sr. recorded his hits of the 50’s and 60’s, the seriousness of this music is masked only by the obvious fun that was had making it. The outcome is a host of superb innovative new material as eclectic and unique as each member of this powerhouse band, plus revved-up versions of Adam Ant’s Goody Two Shoes and Louis Prima Sr.’s Robin Hood. Prima also sneaks in a vocal and trumpet duet with his father on That’s My Home, utilizing Sr.’s original vocal/trumpet solo from the 1959 recording combined with a new music track created by LP Jr. and the Witnesses. The Louis Armstrong cover bridges the gap between family generations as it rises into a heartfelt and hypnotic tribute to his father and is a loving homage to the city they both adore. But it’s on songs like first single Go Let’s Go, the musical party I Just Wanna Have Fun and the soulfully explosive Fame And Glory that the band’s uniqueness shines through. The result of blending the skills of these musicians is a blistering assault on your senses that will make you shout out loud and get up and move.
Of course Prima has a lot to live up to–sharing a name with his celebrated father¬¬–but a new legend is being born, and it’s about to BLOW you away.

In 2014, Celeste is making the move to the stage announcing her debut album with her first concert performance at the Los Angeles House of Blues on May 31, 2014 where she will be taking down the house with a set of her original songs including her debut album single “My Kind of Crazy”.
Celeste’s music is a blend of the pop fun and attitude of a Jessie J, the soaring power ballad emotional ride of Adele, the funk of a Nikka Costa with a touch of the throwback soul sound of Amy Winehouse.

Hey everyone!
My name is Shenna and I am a 20 year singer songwriter from VA. I currently attend Berklee College of Music and finished my debut EP “Dream In Color” which was produced by Austin Bello from the band Forever The Sickest Kids. I wanted to label myself to multiple genres and write lyrics others could relate to. The theme of this EP is to pay attention to the little details of life and live in the moment. I have attached my band camp link to the EP, social media links, a picture of myself and my biography. I hope you enjoy what you hear and thank you for your time!
Peace and love,
Shenna

THREE TIMES BAD DEBUT ALBUM AMERICAN SOJOURN Out May 17th
THREE TIMES BAD, “a hot new San Francisco string band” (Hood River News), is releasing its debut CD, American Sojourn, on May 17th. I hope you’ll consider spreading the word on the “incredible musicianship” (Victory Swig) of this “dirty American roots” (The Register-Guard) combo that’s “catchy as hell” (Not About Religion) and kin to the Devil Makes Three and Old Crow Medicine Show while carving out a big sound all its own.
Think: “Epic moustaches and bent bluegrass” (The Source Weekly), backwoods blues, outlaw country, hillbilly swing, Appalachian rags, Gypsy jazz, old-time gospel, murder ballads, honkytonk, folk songs, and hot singalongs. The group includes band leader Jesus Angel Garcia (acoustic guitar, banjo, lead vox), Thomas Romero (mandolin, backup vox), Megan McDevitt (upright bass, backup vox), and Jean-Pierre Duboucheron (fiddle, backup vox). This regional touring ensemble has performed all over California and the PacNW, including multiple appearances at the Ink n Iron Festival in Long Beach and the Humboldt Hills Hoedown.

PRESS “This is boot-stompin’, beer-swillin’, muddy roots music, where outlaw bluegrass meets anti-folk meets hillbilly punk in a band of city-dwellers who want nothing more than to be pickin’ and howlin’ from a rickety front porch Appalachia.” (Bend Bulletin) http://threetimesbad.wordpress.com/press-quotes/

Exciting solo show coming up at Project Gallery in Hollywood!
Street artist HUEMAN is taking it back to the gallery walls in a new solo exhibit opening June 5, 2014 at Project Gallery. “Between the Lines,” will showcase more than 12 new pieces on canvas and wood until July 20. The solo show is a play on the artist’s signature style as well as the theme of her new collection of work. A freestyler to the core, HUEMAN has been perfecting a technique of creating free-flowing abstract shapes, finding faces within their framework and then introducing sharp lines to create structure and dimension.
HUEMAN says, “When people look at art, sometimes they look for things that may or may not be there. With [Between the Lines] I want to talk about human behavior and the tendency to place meaning and significance in what we see. I want to examine the not-so obvious: subtexts, innuendos, and the things that go unsaid. I want viewers to literally read between the lines.”
Project Gallery is located at 1553 N. Cahuenga Blvd. Hollywood, CA 90028.

LOS ANGELES STREET ARTIST LEBA TURNS GOLD
OPENING RECEPTION, MAY 17, 2014 7-11pm at GOLD HAUS GALLERY
GOLD HAUS GALLERY PRESENTS LEBA’S SHOW, VISIONS
Leba is one of the most talented artists in Los Angeles.
The body of he work created for his upcoming solo show is gilded proof. “Visions” is a breathtaking exhibition featuring new works by Leba.
Gold Haus Gallery//5713 N. Figueroa Street, Highland Park, CA 90042//jes@goldha.us//323-577-97799

With true skill and a true heart, Leba’s stage was already set. Then, enter;
Gustav Klimt. Harry Clark. Telopa Treloky. Vincent Van Gogh.
Four great artists whom Leba admires and respects. With great ambition, he set out to combine each of their styles, adding elements of Christian mysticism to create a unique voice for this very special show. Leba did more than that. He went on to paint an epic body of work, in which an almost dream-like world was created.
With perfect balance, Leba’s body of work evokes the familiar while protecting the unknown. Comprised of paintings both rich in mystery and full of beauty, the works to be exhibited possess a rare, almost human ability to welcome us to step closer and go beyond the paint and wood and canvas. With encouragement, they invite us to explore freely, to become a part of their world which exists only in this fabricated dimension – where trouble, hurt, and confusion are greeted with elegance and grace.
“Painting is the search for truth. Not what your mind sees or what your eye thinks it sees, but what’s really there.” Leba
Such truths are exposed in this solid exhibition. Leba’s “Visions” is a gift allowing us to see what’s really there. 24K gold leaf is used heavily throughout Leba’s gorgeous show. Though visually delicate, his use of gold screams with an uncanny boldness, highlighting strength in what may be seen as frailty, serving not only as a through line, but also as a reminder, that gold is a feeling. Experiencing “Visions” will make you feel like gold.
Gold Haus Gallery Art lives here.
Gold Haus Gallery is a unique art space in Highland Park, California. Featuring both the selected works from the private collection of Charlie Gold for display as well as up-and-coming and established artists’ works available for purchase. Gold Haus Gallery is where you will find art you can take home.

Guerilla’s analog full length record “Everyone’s an Idiot” is dropping 4/20/14. Don’t be an idiot. It’ll make you feel good
https://guerilla.bandcamp.com/track/royal-american
Name of Event: Freedom Socialist Party National Convention
When: May 24-26 (public days)
Where: (AFSCME) District Council 36 Building, 3rd Floor, 514 Shatto Pl, Los Angeles, California 90020.
What: The weather may be balmy in sunny Los Angeles, but the political climate is anything but.
Police are targeting immigrants, unionists, and radicals; 58,000 people are homeless, 30 percent of them women; the right wing is in a frenzy over LGBT rights; and the doors of education are closed to many young people of color, while the doors of the prison-industrial complex are wide open. At the same time, LA is a national flashpoint for struggles against injustices like these.
That makes LA the perfect place for the revolutionary feminist Freedom Socialist Party (FSP) to convene over the Memorial Day weekend, May 24-27. The convention will be an opportunity for FSP members and friends to discuss how best to tackle the problems of the day, from the calamitous effects of the Great Recession on workers and the poor to the challenge of saving the planet from the fossil fuel ogres.

SAN FRANCISCO’S THE AMERICAN PROFESSIONALS CONFIRM 3 CLUBS SHOW ON APRIL 24 IN HOLLYWOOD
SF Bay Guardian says their “…. new record should please anyone who can’t afford to see the Replacements at Coachella this year (or even those who can).”
WHO: The latest release from Bay Area denizens The American Professionals (www.americanprofessionals.com), WE MAKE IT OUR BUSINESS (Charlie In The Box Music) was released this past January 14, 2014. Founded in 2003 by Chuck Lindo (ex Actionslacks, Jumbo Shrimp, The Nukes) in San Francisco, The American Professionals (a.k.a. Ampros) have endured more line-ups than the inside of the S.F.P.D. booking room. Today, the band has evolved (scratch that, they have devolved) into a solid power trio whose foundation includes the aforementioned Lindo (guitar/vocals), Cheryl Hendrickson (bass/vocals) and Adam White (drums).
WHAT: The first Ampro’s Los Angeles tour date in support of WE MAKE IT OUR BUSINESS is finally here from The American Professionals!
WHERE: 3 Clubs (http://www.threeclubs.com) @ 1123 Vine, St., Hollywood, CA 90038
WHEN: Thursday April 24, 21+ (w/ Record Release for Patrolled by Radar & Wide Awake). Doors 8pm, Ampro’s on at 9pm. Free of charge before 9pm, $5 after 9pm.
WHY: To celebrate their new CD release with their first LA show in quite some time and because The American Professionals make it their business to be the very best©, you don’t want to wait until next time to catch them.
The American Professionals (www.theamericanprofessionals.com), a San Francisco power trio whose cleverly crafted songs of hope, love, guilt and fear are matched only by their beefy power chords, hooks and harmonies have confirmed April 24 at the 3 of Clubs in Hollywood to celebrate the release of their new CD We Make It Our Business on the band run label Charlie in the Box Records.
If you are interested in a review copy of WE MAKE IT OUR BUSINESS, wanted to talk to the band or needed more info, please let me know and I’m happy to send along. Let me know if you were interested in coming to the show too?

Hello Everybody!
I’m beyond thrilled to invite all of you to our screening of Swingers (1996)! We’ve rented the majestic Vista Theatre in Los Angeles for a midnight screening of this cult classic that helped define a generation of Angelenos. We’re reaching out to as many organizations in the L.A. area as possible to help make this night memorable.
The screening is at midnight on Friday, April 18th and tickets are only $10. We hope you all can join us!
