![SMOG Presents: Von D @ SMOG Sundays 6/10/12 [Concert Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4345575_lg.jpg)
French bass music producer Von D was in town for his first LA appearance, and let me tell you, I was pumped that he was going to be at SMOG Sundays . Even though he came on a weekend that a good amount of the LA crowd was in Las Vegas for EDC , that didn't bother me ‘cause that meant more room and bass for me. Von D is underrated with his style – he brings that "sexy" form of bass music with female vocals while also bringing in [...]

![HARD and SMOG present Dub Police Tour 2012 at House of Blues Hollywood [Concert Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4112992_lg.jpg)
The Dub Police Tour presented by HARD and SMOG made its stop in the LA area at the House of Blues Hollywood off Sunset Boulevard this past Saturday, March 3rd, 2012 with a massive line up that caused people to flock to the venue from everywhere – I saw cars from Maryland and Georgia in the parking lot, just to give you an idea of how far people probably traveled for this completely SOLD OUT event. I saw people who desperately wanted to get in asking everyone in [...]

Stereo Total are true performers in every sense of the word. Their stage presence has always been infused with a high energy quirk that is specific to this French/German pop act, and Tuesday's performance was no exception. There was dancing, jumping, high fiving, and a flurry of fans singing away regardless of whether or not they knew the words (most of the songs were in either French, German, or Spanish). Openers Giant Drag and Batwings Catwings both had their own unique touches to bring to the night as well, with Giant Drag's hilarious commentary on anything and [...]

Last week, there was an essence of seduction that flew in from New York for a special Bass meets Rockabilly edition of Check Yo Ponytail. Drop The Lime and his lovely multi-talented/beautiful bandmembers were simply stunning as they performed live for an ecstatic audience that have been anticipating the debut of the new setup. The night had plenty more in store for the weekday crowd, hometown djs, Classixx did not disappoint as they brought out a barrage of classic house and disco anthems. Brooklyn producer MNDR was holding down the stage with her powerhouse, one woman performance, backed nicely [...]

Last Tuesday found Check Yo Ponytail at its finest. Andrew W.K., Wavves, and Trash Talk rounded out one of the most thrilling lineups LA has seen in awhile. Tickets were sold out entirely before the show, and legions of concertgoers lined up on the sidewalk of Glendale Blvd. hours before the show, waiting to get their chance to party hard...and that is exactly what they did. There was a full on riot inside of the Echoplex as it filled up almost instantly once the doors opened. Amongst them was a group of avid fans, [...]
