TONIGHT IN LOS ANGELES: ALL WRONG & THE PLANS CHANGE @ VIPER ROOM

You'll need a fan to cool off if you head out to see ALL WRONG & THE PLANS CHANGE @ The Viper Room this evening. These ladies share the bill with THE DANCE PARTY, DYNAMITE WALLS, BURN DOWN THE MISSION and THE JAKES.

TONIGHT IN LOS ANGELES: TRANSFER @ 3 CLUBS

San Diego's TRANSFER, a band that just won best 'Rock Band' at the San Diego Music Awards last week are playing the NY Underbelly Party at 3 Clubs this evening with our friends from SF, MUSIC FOR ANIMALS and THE DANCE PARTY, who just played our Rumble LA. Free Colt 45.

PHOTOS FROM LAST NIGHT'S DANCE PARTY RUMBLE LOS ANGELES

Thanks to everyone that came out to THE RUMBLE: LA last night at 3 Clubs. It had to go down as one of the most over-to-top-big-energy nights we've ever had. All the bands threw down the rock hammer and delivered sets that made it impossible to stand still to. Here are a couple of pictures of last night's party...

The perfect photo of Court Alexander from PRAYER, converting the masses with a Southern Baptist minister like performance, complete with the debut of two new songs, "Bobby" and "Adrianalima". One day those that were present will remember when they saw this band in the tiny 3 Clubs backroom - built for a much larger stage. Can you say 'superstar'?

The tidal wave of fun decimated Santa Monica and Vine Avenue last night when the 7-headed beast of U.S.E made every single solitary person present move, as they overwhelm you with love, vocoder and feisty front ladies. They've performed their magic on every night of the Rumble Tour this week, making BFF's in every port. U.S.E are an inspiration- I love you.

A HUGE congratulations go out to THE DANCE PARTY who only moments before they played the Rumble, signed to the newest Atlantic Records imprint, HELLYA! Records. These D.C. born, now LA four-piece came out of the gates swinging.

Thanks to Ryan Suffern for these great photos.

TONIGHT IN LOS ANGELES: THE RUMBLE: LA @ 3 CLUBS IS A DANCE PARTY

LA is not known as a town where the cool kids dance, but tonight we're lifting the 'cool' ban and allowing people to groove without ridicule at THE RUMBLE: LOS ANGELES @ 3 Clubs in Hollywood. Very appropriately named, the opening act are called THE DANCE PARTY from Washington D.C. and they'll set the stage for an entire evening of movement.

Then, in what could be a true test of the limits of the band room in 3 Clubs, the 7 piece UNITED STATE OF ELECTRONICA will dissolve the distance between performers and audience and deliver song after song from their newly released album, 'L O V E W O R L D'. Here's a taste...

U.S.E are nothing short of a spectacle, an awesome force to experience. You'll stand a crossroads at this point in the evening, do you have a drink and a seat, or keep it up? That's when the newly named headliner, PRAYER, steps up and delivers a set of music that will convert the sinners. Formerly THE LIBRARY, Prayer has been hiding out, working on their scripture, and will be dropping new songs for the first time at The Rumble.

The party is FREE, so no hangups there. Besides, you have a free pass to dance this evening. The lovely sister duo of DJ S.i.S. will make sure no one slips between bands.

UNITED STATE OF ELECTRONICA TO PLAY SEPTEMBER RUMBLE PARTIES

Future Sounds is thrilled to be a part of the return to the music scene by UNITED STATE OF ELECTRONICA and their latest release, "LOVEWORLD". We had them kick off our Rumble: Seattle party and we're absolutely floored by their live show. Future Sounds featured U.S.E on Future Sounds 18 in February of 2005 after hearing the single, "Emerald City" and downloading their entire record for FREE, long before Radiohead or NIN ever even considered such a concept. That DIY attitude has always resonated with Future Sounds and The Rumble Tour reflects the theme that bands have more opportunity today than ever before to get their music heard in unique and groundbreaking ways.

U.S.E (aka United State of Electronica) is set to release its forthcoming second album, L O V E W O R L D on October 20 via a new partnership between Mannheim Worldwide and The Rebel Group. The CD release date will be preceded by a digital release on September 8.

U.S.E is an experience, a seven-piece party. Check out this track, "K.I.S.S.I.N.G." and you'll see what you are about to be in for. U.S.E were one of the first bands that I can remember back in 2004 to give away their entire album for Free, and they still continue to record and perform to the beat of their own drum. We cannot stress strongly enough about how your life needs to experience U.S.E.

SPIN gave recently gave U.S.E's L O V E W O R L D an 8/10 ranking, and said, "Any indie dude can bawl a sad song, but singing a genuinely uplifting one is tougher. Conjuring the communal spirits of both club music and underground rock, this seven-piece Seattle act pack their emphatically nonautomated Europop with arena-rock guitars, giddy girlie vocals, and vocoders set to stun. Rewriting the rainbow positivity of old Philly soul anthems with an English-as-second-language earnestness that amplifies their band-of-outsiders bliss, these atypical party people ride a love train that doesn't stop chugging until the final track. They just won't allow you to mope." Meanwhile The Stranger says of the band, "U.S.E are the feel-good band of the decade, hands down (I mean, up).
