TONIGHT IN LOS ANGELES: CHIEF + GROUPLOVE @ THE TROUBADOUR

Tonight @ The Troubadour is a show filled with bands we adore - CHIEF headlines and newcomer, GROUPLOVE, opens up. HAIM is in the middle slot and everyone seems to love them as well. Chief has signed with Domino Recordings and their first two singles, "Night & Day" and "Breaking Walls" sound brilliant. They jumped on The Rumble: Los Angeles last August and delivered an evening of amazing harmonies.

It seemed like over the course of two days, we got hit by GROUPLOVE from three different angles, all from sources we trust, about this LA based act. We then got a copy (thanks Kimi) of their EP, and the lead single, "Colours" is an indie hit if we've ever heard one. Now it will be our mission to get them to play our Rumble party, but this is a band that needs to be on everyone's radar.

FUTURE SOUNDS PRESENTS NICO STAI @ SPACELAND SATURDAY NIGHT

This Saturday night, Future Sounds is proud to present a night of music with some of our favorites @ Spaceland. NICO STAI, the artist that just continues to blossom in front of our very eyes, will be headlining and bringing his Joe Strummer-meets-Springsteen sound to what should be a loaded house. The heavenly voices of CHIEF, another Rumble LA veteran, will show you why their new record is going to be placed high in your iPod next to your Fleet Foxes and Mumford & Sons. Coming in from Seattle, it's FENCES, no stranger to the FS radio show on WOXY, so we're excited to see what the live show is like. New to us, but maybe not to you, it's YIKES! A LION!. Tickets are on sale HERE.

PHOTOS FROM LAST NIGHT'S RUMBLE: LA PARTY

Thanks to everyone that came out last night to help us celebrate our first year at 3 Clubs in Hollywood for THE RUMBLE: LOS ANGELES. The entire 3 Clubs staff couldn't be any nicer or gracious...we just received some great shots from Ryan Suffern from the evening, check it....

CHIEF were absolutely brilliant. 3 part harmonies that give Fleet Foxes a run for their money, and probably some of the nicest, most genuine cats around. Their set was mesmerizing, as if CSN&Y were playing a private show in your living room. Can't wait for their record to drop this fall.

Speaking of harmonies and songs chalked full of melody, PRINCETON brought their A game and their thirst (we knocked down a few cans) to the Rumble. They told us they are about to go back out on the road with RA RA RIOT again.

Opening up we all got a glimpse of that allusive animal we've all been hearing about, playing little shows around town, growing a fanbase, building a quick mysticism about them - CHEETAHSAURUS from Ventura, CA. We also found out that frontman, Wyatt, formerly fronted THE COLOUR, a band we featured back in the glory days on FS13. Duely impressed.

Finally, a big thanks goes out to FIRESTONE BREWING, who provided all the free beer during the Rumble-Pre Party with the A2IM, BMI and RM64 folks.

THE RUMBLE: LOS ANGELES CELEBRATES 1 YEAR - LINE UP ANNOUNCED

One year? Seriously? It seems like yesterday that Nico Vega and Black Gold played the first ever RUMBLE: LA party at 3 Clubs. For this night, we've hand selected three bands with bright futures to help us celebrate.

Headlining will be recent Domino Recordings signing, CHIEF from Santa Monica. This band recently crushed their Troubadour show. Psyched that these guys are jumping in for us on our one year anniversary. 

Another band we've enjoyed for some time now, PRINCETON (Kanine Records), go on at 10:15pm and bring their KINKS-by-way-of-Los Angeles melodies to the party.

Opening up is a band we're dying to see live, after missing their recent Silverlake Lounge show, CHEETAHSAURUS from Ventura, California. This unsigned band has been getting plenty of spins on the FS radio show, time to see what their live chops are like. Get there early to see them.

The party is FREE and the drinks are cheap
