This is the first song, nearly 25 minutes, Prince performed Thursday night. I shot this with my droid phone. Btw, Tambourines were sold last night for $80! Tickets, however, were only $25.
I am planning to see ALL WRONG AND THE PLANS CHANGE tonight @ Spaceland and have a few discount slots. Want to join me? These girls are fantastic!
You know you want to see some great music... do not sit home and mess with your fbook, words with friends and or other ridiculurum... get off that seat and have fun with some fun tunes!
I rarely check myspace messages these days due to not only the virus-like spawn of spam mail but also my increased workload. For some odd, but fortuitous reason, while checking myspace mail, I happened to click on a message on the 11th of October from Jonneine Zapata, which announced she was performing on the 12th for FREE at Silverlake Lounge. I went to her page and before playing tunes from her jukebox, I checked the featured youtube video for "Love Is A Burden".
It reminded me of a variety of artists I enjoy from The Cult to Johnette Napolitano to Patti Smith, something dark but Americana rock to something familiar from my early youth.
Upon further "investigation" of her music, I realized I had to have this music and while some folks may see the surface comparisons to PJ Harvey, it is more of a soulful side upon which she draws her magic. Jim Morrison, Jennifer Charles (Elysian Fields), Carole King, Nick Cave and even Tina Turner can be artists of whom one may find similar spirit. Her album is titled "Cast the Demons Out" and is available NOW!.
I will definitely add her music to my mellow home mix of The Dirty Three, Spain, Jeff Buckley, Elysian Fields, Brendan Perry, Red House Painters, Nick Cave (The Boatman's Call era), David Sylvian, Scott Reeder, The BellRays, Morphine, Nine Horses, Robbie Robertson, Lou Reed, etc.
Since there are distractions abound right now. It is important that you know Jonneine is performing this evening at Silverlake Lounge for FREE!!! She has had a Monday residency all month, having recently returned from a tour with Mark Lanegan of Screaming Trees. I am foregoing seeing La Roux perform at the El Rey theatre this evening, a show I have wanted to see since last year, to see Jonneine, and am quite certain I will be pleased!
Jonneine is slated to hit the stage tonight at 11pm!
I am hoping she will want to work on the album David J and I are recording and may even ask her to work on the forthcoming Bauhaus tribute. Do not miss this show and please check her music!!!!! Her album has been on repeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

It has nearly been a month since the outbreak of the massive fire in Los Angeles. Here is a rather interesting time lapse capture of the smoke and flames as seen from Elysian Park, which is somewhat reminiscent of Koyaanisqatsi or Baraka.
Speaking of fire... We will set the dancefloor on ablaze this evening at Boardner's (the home of Moscow, Bar Sinister) for RevellShok's FREE FRIDAYS as part of ROCK N ROLL Fridays!
Darren Revell and I spin an eclectic mix of alternative music from Electro to Rock, Triphop to Industrial, Disco to Cabaret, Soul to Dubstep and exhilarating songs from other genres too. View last Friday's set list

Last week, I went to see David J. (Bauhaus / Love And Rockets) perform at the same venue, the Cavern Club Theater, below Casita Del Campo Restaurant in Silverlake, for "JUNE GLOOM" which was an odd spooky goth look back meets cabaret. It was hilarious as it spoofed, yet paid homage, to the tunes and fashion of the time period.
Check the trailer below for more....
The show starts tonight, 8 pm and will run until the 19th of July
“Chico’s Angels 2: Love Boat Chicas!” features Frieda Laye, Kay Sedia & Chita Par who get dolled up to solve another case on the high sea: finding out who killed superstar Charo!
