TONIGHT IN LOS ANGELES: BENJI HUGHES @ SPACELAND

No, that isn't Scottie Diablo, but it is another badddddaassssss dude like El Diablo - tonight at Spaceland performing for the Sunset Junction after party, it's the howlin' wolf himself, BENJI HUGHES. If you were dumb enough not to purchase/download/stream his debut album, "A Love Supreme" then we'll give you a second chance to pull your head out if you get out to see this guy. Benji Hughes could be the next ELVIS. Ladies beware, the Benji can go topless. Another act we dig, B.R.A.M. will be supporting the bearded one.

Tough night of shows out there to pick just one though, GIRLS are supporting LOS CAMPESINOS! at The El Rey, and HOCKEY, remember them?, they are playing Club Underground at The Echo. Then you wanna talk about some legends, STEELY DAN is playing the entire "Aja" album at the Gibson Amphitheatre and the incredible godfathers or PNW rock, THE SONICS, are back from the grave at the Echoplex.

BENJI HUGHES IN LOS ANGELES FRIDAY & SATURDAY

Tonight and tomorrow night at El Cid, it's the Carolina boy, BENJI HUGHES, performing live in a place with good sangria. We'll be there, can't miss 'ol Benji. Pick up 'A Love Extreme', his double disc record that recently dropped that's fantastic. "The Mummy" was my song for July.

NEW SOUNDS: BENJI HUGHES

Man, this guy is baddddassss!

He's probably known to many, but new to me > BENJI HUGHES, just look at this guy!! Wolfman Jack beware. Diablo, lookout....

From Charlotte, North Carolina, I just got some mp3's from his newly released double-album, "A Love Extreme" (New West Records), and song after song, I'm his new biggest fan. What's even better is heading out to LA to play two shows at EL CID in August, so it'll be up close and personal for me, stalker-style. Apparently he also wrote the Captain Morgan's Rum "Got A Little Captain In Ya?" jingle.

Download "Mummy" (mp3)
