Junip - Always
This band comes over from dear Sweden. I'm not sure why but Sweden seems be pumping out a lot of great music right now! (Little Dragon, Robyn, Lykke Li) Maybe it's the painfully dark winters. This song is great and the whole album , Fields, from which this song comes is "melt in your mouth" good! They are playing a show in Los Angeles on November 14th. You should probably go see them.

KCRW Presents SOUNDSUITS

For one night only, KCRW and the Fowler Museum at UCLA team up to present a free, all-ages night of music, art and dancing on the UCLA campus. The event will include pop-up performances by dancers clad in “Soundsuits,” which are fantastic, costume-like works of art by visionary Chicago-based artist Nick Cave.

Dance to live DJ sets by KCRW DJs Jason Bentley and Garth Trinidad outdoors on Wilson Plaza; enjoy special after-hours museum access, pop-up poetry readings, art workshops where you can create your own Soundsuit-inspired apparel, cocktails from the Fowler’s amphitheatre and terrace bars, as well as some of L.A.’s most popular food trucks!

Could be fun!!!

Massive Attack Review

I won't make this a long winded concert review where I dissect every song and movement of the night. Last night was my first time seeing Massive Attack in concert. They did not disappoint. Martina Topley-Bird's opening set was really great. Massive attack's show covered all the hits from all the albums and also threw in two songs I had never heard before. Horace Andy blew it up on Girl I love You and Angel. Behind the band they had led light boards that displayed messages about world politics and social issues. Go to the show....You will be glad you did!.... BTW if you have a couple on ecstasy in front of you...try to move away as they will be very distracting with their constant hugging and kissing and swaying into the people around them. Also get there early and get bands to get in the front stage area!

Over 100,000 people on drugs... Could be fun!?

Promoters have made this year's event bigger so everyone is not dancing on top of each other and of course the carnival rides will be there twirling spaced out kids around! I am weary of this many people in one place, especially drugged out kids who could be on another planet.... but in any case Electric Daisy Carnival takes place on June 25-26 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coloseum and Park. I'll have think about this one.

GO THERE ALREADY

"A titillating collection of East Side hipsters flaunting their best disco outfits while they dance"
--BlackBook

"Some of the hottest, most theatrically retro-garbed regulars we’ve ogled in one place, topped only by the hosts. Hef is always a whimsical peacock and Diaz does disco pimp like no other!"
--LA Weekly

"This party is all about 'disco decadence'...the floor is packed and the booze is flowing"
--Metromix

"One of my favorite L.A. nights"
--Disco Workout

"Full Frontal, without a doubt, provided a time machine for the contemporary to experience true disco fever once again"
--URB Magazine

"Expect the pants to be as tight as the disco beats"
--Lina Lecaro

"The costumed patrons are disco-loving dancers, and the venue's light-up floor makes grinding that much more fun."
--Frontiers

"If you want to hear authentic disco (not hipsters attempting to ironically mix mp3s), be there"
--L.A. Times

"The fog is so deep you can't tell the topless women apart from the topless trannies and the music is so decadently disco that you really don't care as long as they're dancing with you."
--West of Hollywood
