just moved over by the Bowl… party at jesus satan’s! presale starts 10am tomorrow at Ticketmaster here with the password LCD, and KCRW is also having a presale for its members with their own password which is, shockingly, KCRW. (i’d use KCRW, it gives you the most indie street cred.) LCD is the best evah, you won’t be disappointed children of the city of angels…
here’s a dose-tastic new video for Another World from the Chemical Brothers, sort of like watching a digitized lava lamp. i’m really looking forward to their upcoming show at the Hollywood Bowl (tickets here) with Chromeo and WTTD arch-enemies YACHT (seriously, you have to check out that thread), as well as host Jason Bentley, who used to be a helluva DJ before he became KCRW’s music director. the Chems are kind of known for their intense visuals, so load up your picnic baskets with the drogas, Angelenos, security at the Bowl ain’t exactly tight. (Further, their new album, comes highly recommended from jesus satan, by the way.)
Admiral Radley (featuring Jason Lytle from Grandaddy and members of Earlimart) gives that shit away for free with The Happy Hollows@ Hammer Museum for KCRW’s Also I Like To Rock series. it’s all ages, so you know jesus satan will be there. usually i have to buy the alcohol pay to hit on underage kids : o (
merry christ everyone! Fitz & The Tantrums have made their soul-tastic/Hall & Oates love child ep Songs For A Breakup Volume. 1 available as a free download throughout the rest of the year via their website. all you have to do is sign up to their email list here, and you’ll also get three songs from their KCRW Morning Becomes Eclectic appearance, as well as a fun little Keene remix. looks like xmas is coming a little early this year for all you heartbroken mod types. also, randomly, they’re hitting the Casbah on December eleventh down in San Diego. Orgone opens and tickets are available here. (thanks, Blarg.)
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.
