TONIGHT IN LOS ANGELES: NICO STAI @ THE BOOTLEG THEATRE

Tonight at The Bootleg Theatre in Los Angeles, someone we consider at brother at FS is headlining - NICO STAI. There is something about Nico that just feels so genuine and sincere, and for me feels like putting on an old Replacements record. He put together a great supporting cast on this show with SHADOW SHADOW SHADE (Formerly Afternoons, before that Irving) and THE BLACK APPLES. Go HERE for tickets.

CAUGHT LIVE: CHIEF AND NICO STAI

Two of California's best up-and-comers, Santa Monica folk-tinged foursome CHIEF and East Side troubadour, NICO STAI (alongside Seattle's FENCES and LA's Yikes! A Lion! opening) played our Future Sounds Presents set last Saturday at Spaceland. Enjoy this short- it's Monday right?- set of pictures below of the set, as part of our CAUGHT LIVE section.

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.

HOLLYWOOD BREWFEST THIS SATURDAY - UNLIMITED TASTINGS + LIVE MUSIC

This Saturday night in Hollywood, we're presenting a beer festival at the gorgeous MUSIC BOX @ FONDA where for the $45 ticket price, you can drink unlimited tastings of over 35 breweries while watching bands on two stages and dancing to DJ's on the rooftop.

You've been to some beer festivals, you know what I'm talking about, the kind where people have their hat backwards, in some field with white tents, and if they happen to have music playing, it isn't the kind you wanna hear. We're looking to flip that experience, deliver cool sounds that represent Los Angeles and beyond, while you taste amazing beers like MAGIC HAT or cask beers in the Blue Palms Brewhouse. Breaking it down over 8 hours, the unlimited beer tastings makes this a cheap night out drinking, with bands as a bonus.

Here's the line up on the musical front:

MAIN STAGE
GREAT NORTHERN 10:15 PM - 11:00 PM
DUM DUM GIRLS 9:00 PM - 9:45 PM
THE DEADLY SYNDROME 7:45 PM - 8:30 PM
NICO STAI 6:30 PM - 7:15 PM
CASTLEDOOR 5:15 PM - 6:00 PM
THE TENDER BOX 4:00 PM - 4:45 PM
THE DIAMOND LIGHT 3:00 PM - 3:30 PM

BLUE PALMS STAGE
FEROCIOUS FEW 9:00 PM - 9:30 PM
BLACKMARKET 8:00 PM - 8:30 PM
SAMUEL STEWART 7:00 PM - 7:30 PM
THE FIRKINS 5:00 PM - 5:30 PM

ROOFTOP DJ's
TRAVIS of BUDDYHEAD - 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM
DJ VanVille - 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
KEITH 2.0 (Club Moscow) - 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM
DJ S.I.S - 3:00 to 5:00 PM

From FUTURE SOUNDS NICO STAI CD RELEASE

FUTURE SOUNDS was thrilled to be involved with the CD release party of NICO STAI last night in Silverlake at Ghettogloss. If you were actually able to be in the room when the band played, you caught a smokin' set of new tracks from the CD with the longest name ever, as well as the old fav's that has brought them such crowds. Excellent evening by all, and the gallery was a perfect host.

FUTURE SOUNDS DEBUTS....

More information on bands that debuted this week on the FUTURE SOUNDS radio show....

VIOLENS

FROM: New York
MYSPACE: http://www.myspace.com/violensmusic
Unsigned

VIOLENS is going to be one of those bands that won't be sitting around for long, as they head out with MGMT in the UK in November, sounding like the perfect mix of THE SHINS meets THE BUCKINGHAMS. Listen to "Violent Sensation Descends".

THE PANDERERS

FROM: Cincinnati, OH
MYSPACE: http://www.myspace.com/thepanderers
Snack Bar Records

Kentucky boy (Scott Winn) moves to Ohio, impresses the singer from SOUL COUGHING (Mike Doughty) puts his album for sale on Myspace, and nails it with this 'ready for a big car commercial ad' track, "Come On".

BUFFALO KILLERS
FROM: Cincinnati, OH
MYSPACE: http://www.myspace.com/buffalokillers
Alive Records

"Get Together Now Today" starts off with a straight "Dig A Pony" riff, then drops into a 'suthern gem that's genius. It's yet another great band from the Queen City, this 3-piece with two brothers (formerly in THEE SHAMS) makes me wanna break out my CANNED HEAT records. Just look at that photo, these aren't no sissy-boys.

NICO STAI
FROM: Los Angeles
MYSPACE: http://www.myspace.com/nicostai
Unsigned

I only have 2-3 songs from LA's NICO STAI, which is Nico in front and 3 guys behind him, making perfect indie rock that falls somewhere in the regions of SHOUT OUT LOUDS and ROGUE WAVE.

THE GOLDEN DOGS
FROM: Toronto
MYSPACE: http://www.myspace.com/thegoldendogs
Yep Roc Records (US)

Plenty of people have been yappin' about these dogs, but I finally got around to downloadin', and will be seeing these guys when they get out to LA in November for certain.

HUMAN HIGHWAY
FROM: Ontario, CA
MYSPACE: http://www.myspace.com/humanhighway
Suicide Squeeze Records

A huge buzz going on right now about HH, and for good cause, this duo has a unique, throwback sound of the 50's at times, and this track "The Sound" should be the next Ipod commercial without a doubt.

THE BLACK BOX REVELATION
FROM: Brussels, Belgium
MYSPACE: http://www.myspace.com/theblackboxrevelation
P.I.A.S. Records

Screw being big in Japan, how about #1 in Belgium??? Well THE BLACK BOX REVELATION can make that claim, big news over there, waiting for the revelation to happen in the States. Listen to "I Think I Like You" (mp3)

GOLDEN ANIMALS
FROM: Los Angeles
MYSPACE: http://www.myspace.com/goldenanimals
HappyParts (US)

If I can get out of here on time tonight to get over to The Echo, I'd like to see the GOLDEN ANIMALS, because the track, "The Steady Roller" (mp3) has been owning me since I heard it's ELVIS/REVEREND HORTON HEAT rumble.
