ANNOUNCING THE RUMBLE: LOS ANGELES FOR JANUARY

This Thursday night in Los Angeles it's THE RUMBLE: LA again at the 3 of Clubs in Hollywood. This month's edition features NICO STAI, a band we've been crooning about for some time. Also playing on the bill is a band we've played non-stop on the WOXY show, LINKS. Rounding out the bill is a band we're practically family with, going back years to a former incarnation (LOW FLYING OWLS - FS01), now called WEIRD DREAMS.

As usual, our resident DJ's MICHAEL will be on hand to keep things moving.

$5 DOS, Free if you RSVP on Sonicliving.

TONIGHT IN LOS ANGELES: DJANGO JAMES & THE MIDNIGHT SQUIRES + THE YELLING

Don't be confused, NEW YORK UNDERBELLY presents a party tonight at the 3 of Clubs in Los Angeles called Between A Rock and a Hard Place. It's their first stab here and the line up they have put together is excellent.

Our favorites, DJANGO JAMES & THE MIDNIGHT SQUIRES open things up at 9pm sharp.

THE BROBECKS follow, before the lethal rock of THE YELLING blows you out. I'm not familiar with THE FLING, who round out the bill, but I'm told good things.

09:00 - Django James and the Midnight Squires
09:45 - the Brobecks
10:30 - the Yelling
11:15 - the Fling

Free admission before 11 on the Underbelly list - $5 after; otherwise, after 11, it's $10 bucks. Complimentary Spaten Beer from 9-10PM.

TONIGHT IN LOS ANGELES: THE RUMBLE LA @ 3 OF CLUBS

After the ASCAP party, stay close in Hollywood and into a real drinking joint, the 3 Of Clubs for THE RUMBLE: LOS ANGELES. Oasis, smoasis, come on, if you haven't already seen them act relevant at least once over the years, give some new guys a chance. The report from last night's RUMBLE SF was that THE FEROCIOUS FEW murdered their set, one of the best performances at a Rumble SF to date. On at 10pm is THE GROWLERS, a band I'm anxiously awaiting because I've heard so much about their live set and have yet to see it for myself. MiCHAEL do what they do, hold it down and get people moving on the decks. Free if you RSVP, $5 if not.

THE RUMBLE: LOS ANGELES LINE UP ANNOUNCED FOR DECEMBER

December's THE RUMBLE: LOS ANGELES is coming up on Thursday of this week and we're pushing the start time back a bit due to some holiday parties. FUTURE SOUNDS and THE OWL are both thrilled to have just added THE GROWLERS, the closest thing to THE DOORS LA has put forth in some time. Playing back-to-back Rumble parties (SF & LA) will be THE FEROCIOUS FEW from San Francisco. As always, our resident DJ's, MiCHAEL, are on the decks and will be celebrating the USC victory over Notre Dame.

Free if you RSVP with our partners at Sonicliving HERE
If not, it's $5, so don't ask me for a guest list spot as the free option is yours.

Here's a preview of The Growlers live...

TONIGHT IN LOS ANGELES: THE RUMBLE @ 3 OF CLUBS

You are not going to want to miss the trifecta of talent that we're dishing up at THE RUMBLE: LOS ANGELES tonight. Opening up is a band we were happy to catch at SXSW, BIRDS & BATTERIES from San Francisco. We've been chasing them for ages so their appearance tonight will be special. And if last night's micro-set by THE BLACKS at The Rumble: San Francisco is any indication of what the band will do with a full set to run wild on, then we're in for a night of abuse. Closing out the evening is the band that is grabbing plenty of attention in LA these days within the industry, a band that still can generate a gaggle of A&R reps in a time when there aren't many left - THE YELLING. The band is currently featured on ITUNES. Our resident DJ's, MiCHAEL, also seem to be stars on the rise locally and each month they've been pushing the party harder from the decks.

So maybe you're still recovering from the Obama hangover, or maybe you're on a lucky streak so you should keep it going, but hell, it's only $5 or FREE if you RSVP at http://sonicliving.com/therumble-LA

THE RUMBLE LA NOVEMBER LINE UP ANNOUNCED

Our November RUMBLE party isn't one for those with a weak constitution - if you're coming, bring your earplugs and be ready for some whiskey drinking. THE YELLING are just plain loud, like ZEPPELIN going heavy, and THE BLACKS are the perfect band for the dark little booths at the 3 Of Clubs. Opening up the night is a band that I've been talking about since having my jock handed to me at SXSW in April, BIRDS & BATTERIES from San Francisco. This line up is tremendous!

The wizards of Oz for the evening our the resident DJ's, MiCHAEL.

It's FREE if you RSVP here> http://www.sonicliving.com/therumble-la
$5 if you're lazy

THE RUMBLE: LOS ANGELES
November 6th
3 Of Clubs (Hollywood)

TONIGHT IN LOS ANGELES: THE RUMBLE @ 3 OF CLUBS

Tonight, after you are finished watching the VP Debate farce, which promises to be great television, go out and celebrate that Palin is now helping our cause at THE RUMBLE: LOS ANGELES. For all you embarrassed Republicans out there that feel like they need to connect with the rural roots, the 3 Of Clubs is the perfect dive bar for you to drink away your sorrows. No elitists in this joint, just good beer.

Driving out from North Carolina to play tonight at 9:30pm are THE NOISES 10, a band that's graced a number of FS compilations over the years, and tonight they'll be celebrating the release of their latest CD, produced by Eric Valentine and recorded a stone's throw from the club.

Following up will be Dave Stewart's kid, DJANGO JAMES & THE MIDNIGHT SQUIRES. He's young in years but he has the stage presence of a cagey veteran. If you haven't heard "Givin' Tree" on my radio program or around town, nows the time to listen.

Headlining the evening is the band from Cincinnati, Ohio, BAD VEINS. I've been looking forward to see this band live for some time and as dumb luck/timing would have it, we got to book them while they are visiting LA for shows.

Our resident DJ's, MiCHAEL, are a couple of guys from USC that know how to throw parties and turn them out. I heard they may soon become the President and VP of the student body on campus.

It's always FREE if you RSVP here > http://www.sonicliving.com/therumble-LA
So please don't write me all afternoon about the guest list because it only takes 1 minute to RSVP. If not, $5 won't kill you at the door and you'll be helping pay the bands.

Believe it or not, headlining this tiny club are NICO VEGA (FS29) a band we've watch grow from Future Sounds Tour opening act, to one year later headlining everywhere. We're touched by their loyalty and wanting to help launch the Rumble: LA by playing this small room and showing some luv.
