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.

TONIGHT WE CELEBRATE - THE RUMBLE: LOS ANGELES TURNS 1

That's right, one year ago we kicked off the LA party known as THE RUMBLE: LA, and we've all cleared our schedules tomorrow morning and have cabs lined up so we can stretch our legs tonight a bit and hate ourselves tomorrow. The line-up boasts some incredible talent, from the Dominio Recordings artist CHIEF, to local favorites that just finished touring with RA RA RIOT - PRINCETON, to the new kids on the block, CHEETAHSAURUS. Those lovely lady DJ's, S.i.S. will turn us on/out from atop their perch.

The party is FREE - The 3 Clubs is in Hollywood

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 

TONIGHT IN LOS ANGELES: PRINCETON @ SILVERLAKE LOUNGE

If you're a fan of BELLE & SEBASTIAN or VOXTROT, you're gonna like the band from Eagle Rock, PRINCETON. They play tonight at the Silverlake Lounge as part of their July residency there and it's FREE.

The band's "Bloomsbury EP" is a fresh and easy listen, great summer tunes. Princeton is fronted by two identical twin brothers that definitely owe their sound to another set of brothers - DAVIES, and you can tell have spent time listening to plenty of THE LEFT BANKE and THE BUCKINGHAMS.

TONIGHT IN LOS FELIZ: PRINCETON @ TANGIER

If you haven't heard the BEACH BOYS lushness of Eagle Rock's PRINCETON yet, tonight's your chance at Tangier.
