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 […]

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.
