The Psycho Realm put on a bangin’ show at Club Nokia this past Friday. Boasting ultimate swagger with an enticing stage presence, the hip hop outfit brought it hard-style with plenty of thugs in the audience. This definitely was NOT your average mainstream hip hop show, or your Silver Lake, goofy hipsters-who-love-hip-hop performance (thank, God).  Check out the photo gallery below of The Psycho Realm […]

Hot Water Music are back  and they just played a sold-out show at the Satellite with support from  Tim Barry and Seahaven!

Last Thursday, Chilean MC (and all around badass female), Ana Tijoux came to destroy the Echo for a packed SOLD-OUT show in support of her 2012 release La Bala. The Grammy-nominated artist brought her hip-hop A-game with a special blend of politics, humor and a live funk/jazz band. Ana, with her lyrics charged with social consciousness, enlightened the crowd as she sang […]

If you didn’t already know, the Grimy Goods crew are huge fans of L.A.’s Chelsea Wolfe. We try to cover her as much as possible since each of her show’s are a unique experience and the girl’s got some dope style. Check out our photo gallery of Chelsea Wolfe at last Tuesday’s Check Yo Ponytail! […]

Back in January we caught L.A. up-and-comers—Caught A Ghost—put on quite the dubsteppin’-electro-indie-soul performance. They’re heading a residency this month at the Satellite every Monday and it’s free! Free to dance and party! Check out our photos below from their bangin’ performance at the Satellite this past Monday, May 7 with the equally amazing, Gliss. If […]

The musical festivities at the Los Lobos show this past Cinco De Mayo at the Greek Theatre, kicked off on the main stage with Mariachi El Bronx and what better way to continue the day’s celebrations! Mariachi El Bronx, L.A.’s very own punk mariachi hybrid superstars, took to the stage first serenading the crowd with various […]

San Francisco-based indie folk rockers, Vetiver played an amazing set at the Echo on Thursday, April 26. They recently released their 5th studio album, 2011’s The Errant Charm, on Sub Pop Records. With a plethora of pleasantly engaging alt-folk jams under their belt, all eyes were on Vetiver and front-man, Andy Cabic, as they tantalized ears with their delicate treats. Check out […]

Celebrating the release of their deliciously infectious, sexy debut album, Aloha Moon, L.A.’s Magic Wands came to transform the Satellite into a hazy Tiki-inspired land of mystical hedonism. From the moment I received, Magic Wands’ new album, Aloha Moon, I was instantly hooked. So much, that I actually listened to the record about 30 times! The duo composed of […]

Rum & Humble and the Echo presented a spectacular world music performance on April 22 at the Echoplex: THE TOURЀ-RAICHEL COLLECTIVE featuring Vieux Farka Touré, Idan Raichel, Souleymane Kane and Amit Carmeli. The virtuosic superstars from very different backgrounds, all joined together to create masterworks of collaboration and improvisation. Check out our photos below! Photography: […]

Whether you went to Coachella or not, there were plenty of fun and sexy music events crawling around the desert. The Moon Block Party‘s Desert Daze pool parties went off last weekend at a secret spa motel near Dillon’s Roadhouse. Naturally, Grimy Goods was on the scene. Not only was the weather scorching hot, but […]

Anoushka Shankar just headlined the Luckman Fine Arts Complex this past Saturday with her magnificent blend of Spanish forms of flamenco, fandango, and bulería. With graceful style and ease, she merges the seductive music of Spain with the lively ancient forms of the Indian classical tradition. Her music is carefully crafted and something you truly need to witness live to […]

French DJ/Producer and Ed Banger Records label head Busy P, aka Pedro Winter, opened the Justice DJ set show at Club Nokia on Wednesday, April 18 with sick jams and lots of laughs.

Arising from a hazy mist of smoke machines—clad in black hoodies and their signature masks, Miike Snow made quite the entrance at the El Rey Theatre with their Lite Bright center piece of antlers. The crowd was in a frenzy at the drop of the first atmospheric break as the masked marauders made their dramatic entrance […]

They came, they played, they conquered—Band of Skulls can do no wrong in any real music lovers’ book. The gritty English trio were in L.A. in support of their Coachella shows. Blasting out sexy blues riffs full of that classic 70s swagger, Band of Skulls packed the SOLD OUT El Rey Theatre with soul claps, […]

Emerging from the hazy smoke and fog, my ears were ringing with digital noise erupting from all sorts of machines on Neon Indian’s stage. Standing in the sweaty sold out Echoplex, I realized it has been almost three years since I last saw the band—Monolith Music Festival at Red Rocks in 2009—which incidentally was their […]

Last Tuesday’s Check Yo Ponytail was off the muthafuckin’ hook. It wasn’t because of the pop-electro princess, Oh Land—and it wasn’t for the one-man-band, Blood Orange (Devonté Hynes). Fans came out early to pack the Echoplex for the hottest new electronic duo, Trust. Touring in support of their debut album, TRST, it was a spectacular evening […]
