CASTLEDOOR tonight @ the ECHO

My favorite LA band CASTLEDOOR are playing @ the ECHO tonight - they have the monday night residency all this month, so if you can't make it tonight, shoot for next monday.

You should see them before they are the next cold war kids, who were the next silversun pickups - - -you know what I mean. :)

They are amazing live - and if you aren't satisfied - I will give your money back.

HAHA. cause it's free - - see what I did there? hahahaha

They go on at 10:30. So I am telling myself they are playing at 10:15 - - cause I'm always at least 15 minutes late . . .

see you there!

yikes! is this thing still on? sorry i've been M.I.A. . .

I know, I know, I am the worst blogger ever. I'm too busy reading other blogs that I forget about my own! Damn you A.D.D.
From now on, I'm going to start acting like this guy:

I promise to update this thing more often . . . I really have no excuse, especially now since my BF's band is on tour from now until FOREVER.


anyhooooo . . . here's a few live show reviews from the past week:


Last Thursday night Hell Ya! got to present the CHROMEO & FLOSSTRADAMUS Sold Out show @ the Echoplex!! It was jam-packed full of action. So many kids, so little A/C. Sweat-Sweat-Sweat Drippin Off . . . especially when CHROMEO played Bonafied Lovin'!! That song should be a radio hit!
This song is good too:

Last night I saw 2 great shows @ the Echo/Echoplex. First up was my favorite LA band
CASTLEDOOR who played upstairs as main support for BISHOP ALLEN. (PAGE FRANCE had to cancel due to Van troubles) Castledoor were amazing as always - they seem to get better every time I see them. I'm completely obsessed with their new song "Shoutin' At Mountains". (see video below)

After Castledoor I went downstairs to the Echoplex to see M.I.A. (thanks JG!!) Could M.I.A. be any hotter? What I would give to have even 1/3 of her beauty/talent/dance moves . . .

Castledoor just get better and better each time I see them. Finally other peole are taking notice too! (they get played on Indie 1031, Kcrw, Blogs etc . . .) They have come along way since they opened HELL YA! Night w/ Los Abandoned last year. I hope to have them back to HEADLINE HELL YA night soon - but they keep getting booked for big shows, looks like I will have to wait. :)

Tonight they start a Thursday night residency @ the SILVERLAKE LOUNGE. They go on at Midnight. (i know it's late, but I promise you - it's WORTH IT!)

Expect big things. I love this band so much. Just wait till you hear their new songs! (like the title track to the upcoming ep - "shout to the mountains" sooooooooooo amaaaaazzzziiinnnnnngggg)
Till then, here's my other fav -
