this is jesus satan’s holy dayz…. there’s so much going on in Los Angeles this weekend that i’m going to just start posting events, etc. without much commentary. you all know how much i’m in love with my own wit, but i just won’t be able to roll like that over the next few days. plus i gotta get all dressed up.

to start the festivities, here’s a new Halloween-ish video from Sea Wolf. (i love the cinematography, very James Whale.) they’re playing at the Legendary Park Plaza Hotel this Saturday for the KCRW Masquerade along with DJ Shadow (yay!), Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros (yay!), Little Dragon (who?) and a bunch of KCRW DJs. unfortunately, it’s a whopping $75 a ticket (here – although proceeds benefit KCRW), so if you don’t get to check them out there, they will also be playing some gay-ass free show at Hollywood/Highland on Nov. 6th for the release of the Twilight: New Moon soundtrack with Death Cab for Cutie, Anya Marina and Band of Skulls. when i get more information on that, i’ll be sure to let you know since there will likely be screaming pre-teens everywhere and i know what a bunch of child predators you all are.

wish i had this kind of money to throw around… Lucky Brand jeans on the 3rd Street Promenade is putting up quite the hizzouse party with a free show Sunday afternoon by Bat For Lashes plus a couple DJ sets by KCRW front man Jason Bentley and Jimmy Tamborello (from a little band called The Postal Service). good look getting anywhere near inside of this place, but if you’re feeling brave and/or have a couple days to kill waiting in line, then you have to RSVP right here.

RadioActive: A Dance Party for KCRW
Saturday, April 11 from 9PM-2AM
The Legendary Park Plaza Hotel
Los Angeles

For one night only and for the first time ever, KCRW DJs team up in a live venue in support of the station.

On Saturday, April 11, KCRW will host RadioActive, a Spring dance party featuring the station’s own skilled selectors at The Legendary Park Plaza in downtown Los Angeles, a beautiful space that is not normally open to the public.

This is the first time KCRW has put on a dance event featuring station DJ’s even though many of them have headlined some of the biggest venues in the world independently — from the dance mecca of Ibiza and Central Park’s Summer Stage in NYC to Coachella and the Winter Music Conference.

“All of our DJs are immersed in the live music scene and this is a chance to rally their considerable talents and fans for the station they all call home. We rarely come together in one place at one time and the staggeringly beautiful Park Plaza is the best place to do it,” said KCRW Music Director and host of Morning Becomes Eclectic Jason Bentley.

The venue will feature four unique, themed rooms:

Dub House Disco Ballroom – Jason Bentley, Raul Campos, Liza Richardson, Jason Eldredge

Neo-Soul Streetbeat Sound System – Garth Trinidad, Jeremy Sole, Anthony Valadez, Mathieu Schreyer, Aaron Byrd

World Folktronic Jazz Lounge – Henry Rollins, Anne Litt, Mario Cotto, Eric J. Lawrence, Jason Kramer

Grand Voodoo Salon – Tom Schnabel, Chris Douridas, Dan Wilcox, Gary Calamar, Michael Barnes

TICKETS
- $35 in advance
- $45 at the door (cash only)

THIS EVENT IS 21 AND OVER. Any Ticket holder unable to present valid identification indicating that they are at least 21 years of age will not be admitted to this event, and will not be eligible for a refund.
