Perfection. When you’ve been on the road doing your thing for about 50 year or so, nothing but perfection is expected from you. John Cale, founding member of the experimental rock band the Velvet Underground, demonstrated nothing but excellence on December 11 when performing at El Rey Theatre. Backed up by two, not only talented and totally […]

 Shuggie Otis—Echoplex—Photos Review Los Angeles is a city of stars and legends, and we are lucky to check out a lot of them. This past Wednesday, Dec. 5 — jazz, R&B and blues guitar legend (and more), Shuggie Otis graced us with his presence at The Echoplex. This sold-out show had a heavy line of people […]

We get to see so many spectacular shows and only with a few do the performers get up-close-and-personal with the audience, touching those special nerves that move something inside you.

Not to mention, they are good looking too.  Their new album was just released so you will […]

The Luckman Fine Arts Complex recently started their new season with nothing but a stellar line up that promises quality shows for the months to come. Not only did they have a major songstress, Lila Downs but they also had one of L.A.’s truly sweet bands attached beautifully to their roots keeping it real in […]

This past Thursday, Sept. 20,  Club Nokia was banging with fresh blood – fashion statements yet to be defined, twitching/dancing bodies, hotties, and tons of energy vibrating to the sounds of the night.  Rusko, the main dish was heavily awaited by an eager crowd as the night was heated up by the DJ duo, Gladiator […]

On September 13, The Echoplex was hyped on rock and roll, Surf Rock however you wanna call it with Los Straitjackets.  This band has been skillfully hitting stages  with his luchador masks, chopped Spanish and mad guitar skills (really really sick!) entertaining all kinds of audiences.  Big Sandy and his Fly Rite Boys brought in an outstanding […]
