THE MUSEBOX PRESENTS
FREE MUSIC MONDAYS
AT SILVERLAKE LOUNGEThe MuseBox’s Free Music Mondays at Silverlake Lounge have been a blast thus far. Please join us for the last one of the month on September 30th, featuring Puro Instinct, Night Club, and Golden Gloves.
Puro Instinct creates dreamy, ethereal melodies not dissimilar to heavies of the past few decades (Cocteau Twins, Lush), but with the doomed worldview of today’s California, fallin’ into the sea, creeping ever so slightly in the background. They received Pitchfork’s vaunted Rising tag, and they’ve collaborated with local heroes like Ariel Pink, amongst others.
Night Club is an electronic pop duo from Los Angeles, CA that features Emily Kavanaugh (vocalist) and Mark Brooks (producer). Although Brooks comes with a lengthy pedigree in performing/DJ-ing (Warlock Pinchers, Foreskin 500, Le Pimp and MegaJive), this marks Kavanaugh’s first entrance into performing, following in the steps of her father, Kevin Kavanaugh (keyboardist of the legendary New Jersey band Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes).
Golden Gloves is an LA-based musical project featuring Chris Norton and whoever else happens to be in the room at any given time. His live show features 808s and loud guitars.
Don’t miss it: come out to Silverlake Lounge on September 23, starting at 8pm. Oh, and did we mention it’s free? Because it’s totally, 100% FREE.
Throughout the night, we’ll be spreading the word about No Kill LA – every day pets need to find a permanent home, and every day No Kill LA works to make that happen.
Presented by the MuseBox: Powering the Music Revolution
WizKids are going strong and producing new HeroClix at a fast pace. If you are a HeroClix collector you are enjoying this or asking them to slow down. Anyway, scheduled for an April 2014 release is the Marvel HeroClix: X-Men-Days of Future Past game pieces. This is to tie into the release of the new X-Men First Class movie which will be released May of 2014.
ICv2 is reporting that the FOX network has placed and order for a Gotham series after a bidding war between networks. The show will feature a young Commissioner Gordon and will not feature Batman. It is to be along the lines of the old DC Comics series Gotham Central, which some of you might have in your collections.
If you are into animation or just want to take the kids to a show Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 opens this weekend for your enjoyment. Thanks to “joblomovienetwork” on YouTube for the following trailer:

| Geoffrey the Giant “Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock’ Hilarious Spoof on The Big Bang Theory |
More on Geoffrey:
OFFICIAL WEBSITE? FACEBOOK
Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock is a side-splitting video that parodies the shows favourite characters settling their dispute in true Big Bang style– with a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard Spock
Sam Kass himself, the inventor of the cult game and the man who has been hailed on the show by Sheldon, Leonard, Raj and Howard, gave Geoffrey his full seal of approval on hearing the track.
The track is taken from Geoffrey’s forthcoming aptly titled Geoffrey the Giant’s Big Bang. Geoffrey is a singer-songwriter from Ottawa Canada who aside from being a very funny man is also incredibly talented singer and has as already dueted with Carly Rae Jepsen on Canadian Idol and song-writing legend Ron Sexsmith.
Of course everyone is familiar with the Big Bang Theory. Geoffrey has a clear voice and the song has a catchy tune that once listened to you won’t be able to get the chorus out of you head. Not really sure if more of Geoffrey the Giant’s songs will be parodies or if this is just something he wanted to do, time will tell. Check out the video here from the Geoffrey the Giant’s channel on YouTube:
In 2014, Alderac Entertainment will be releasing the card game Sail to India.
