Silverlake Lounge Night

Silverlake Lounge
Discover LA’s EMERGING Music Talent FREE Every Thursday Night at Silverlake Lounge
4 November 2013 It’s official. The West Coast and specifically LA’s local music scene is giving Brooklyn a run for it’s money. Want to experience this burgeoning scene for yourself?  Look no further than The MuseBox /Reverbnation’s November Residency every Thursday at The Silverlake Lounge!

To kick things off, we stacked our first night, November 7th, with a stellar line-up of garage rocking, psyched out area locals. Headlining the night are LA’s own Baby Fleas, grimy punks with a penchant for pop. Also on the bill are dreamy space band The Tulips, along with San Diego’s Wild Wild Wets and Jack Berry & The Loaded Loot.

The event, powered by The MuseBox  , is also in conjunction with ReverbNation, supporting NoKillLA  – an organization works to find homes for shelter animals to avoid euthanasia and working towards making LA a NO KILL CITY by 2017. A truly dedicated organization we all strongly believe in.

Ready for the kicker? The stacked night is totally and completely FREE, not even an RSVP needed! That’s five incredible locals acts, one incredible cause, and a typically listless night now taken care of for you.

Don’t miss out!

Silverlake Lounge
2906 W Sunset Blvd
8:00 PM – 1:00 AM, EVERY THURSDAY IN NOVEMBER
FREE ENTRY

Phildel is on a North American Tour

Phildel has a strong high voice.  Her style of music reminds me a little of Enya.  It is very melodic and has a mystical sound to it.  The videos carry that feel as well, especially with the black masks that the women wear. Check her tour dates below and be sure to mark you calendar for the date in your community.

 Her debut album The Disappearance of the Girl, out now on Decca Records, won praise throughout the world, with the UK’s Clash Magazine calling it “an irresistible masterpiece.”
Phildel is pleased to have the opportunity to perform its songs, along with songs from her forthcoming EP The Glass Ghost, for North American audiences this November and December.
November 4 @ Hotel Café
Los Angeles CA | Tix
November 5 @ The Standard Hotel
Los Angeles CA | Invite Only (All Ages)

Mortal Kombat Legacy II Trailer

Here is a series I didn’t know about until Matt mentioned it at the last recording.  The “Machinima” channel on YouTube has Mortal Kombat: Legacy and Leagcy Season 2 web series up for those that are interested and didn’t know about it before.  Season 2 just finished up and I don’t know if there will be a season 3 or not.  This is one I will have to check out because the production looks really well made.  Check out the trailer here since they have disabled the sharing embedded feature:

Days of Future Past First Trailer

To me it’s fun to be a comic book fan at this point in time.  Just think about how many movies have been based on comic books in the past decade, the ones that are coming out now, and then the ones coming out in the near future.  One of them is of course X-Men: Days of Future Past and thanks to “X-Men Movies” channel for posting the first trailer on YouTube.  Check it out below:
