ARTICLE BY CHERYL CHENG PHOTO BY TONY MOLINA MARCH 1-2 | LOS ANGELES / HOLLYWOOD—Moz Angeles, the term affectionately used to describe the state of Los Angeles when Morrissey is in it, descended upon the city this weekend. Treating fans...

Morrissey will finally be taking the stage this week (fingers crossed) in Los Angeles  for a headlining show at the massive Staples Center . This is the rescheduled date after Moz postponed the original show when his mother was hospitalized. He will be performing on Friday, March 1st along with Patti Smith and Kristeen Young who will be opening up the night. Tickets for this show  at the  Staples Center  is  completely sold out right now. So unless you take to a third party seller online, we may be your last hope [...]

"Cleotha ‘Cleedi’ Staples, a founding member of the pioneering folk-gospel group, The Staple Singers, has died at the age of 78. She had gracefully battled Alzheimer’s disease for the last decade and passed away peacefully at her Chicago home on the morning of February 21, 2013. Although Pops and Mavis usually handled vocal leads on Staple Singers songs, Cleotha was featured with Eddie Floyd (of “Knock on Wood” fame) on “It’s Too Late” from the 1969 Stax Records duets LP  Boy Meets Girl .  Her velvety soprano was powerful and dynamic on the bluesy ballad about a lost [...]

L-R: Cleotha Staples, Pops Staples, Mavis Staples, and Yvonne Staples Cleotha Staples - RIP

We have the sad news to report that Cleotha "Cleedi" Staples, of the Staple Singers, has died. She was 78. According to Soul Tracks , the member of the beyond-influential soul/R&B/gospel outfit passed away on the morning of Thursday, Feb. 21 at her home in Chicago. She had been battling Alzheimer's disease for the past 10 years or so. The impact Staples and her family's music is immeasurable. They were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1999 and received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005. These well-deserved accolades highlighted the group's work over [...]

As we recently reported, the upcoming Friday, March 1, Morrissey show at the Staples Center will be 100% vegetarian. However, Staples Center recently issued a press release countering that claim, stating it was merely increasing the number of vegetarian options...

Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Ball Live at The Staples Center in Los Angeles Two Sundays ago I spent the last night of my vacation in Los Angeles at the Staples Center with fellow blogger Michael of PopBytes . We had the pleasure of hanging out in the Skype Lounge at the venue before Gaga took the stage promptly at 8:45 (shocker!)  The 2-hour show kicked off with Highway Unicorn (Road to Love) and featured a space renegade storyline narrated [...]

Check out my photos of Muse at Staples Center over at OC Weekly .

When you talk about Martha Wainwright , there's a host of expectations that precede her. From her heralded lineage including Loudon Wainwright III (dad) and Rufus (her bro), to her controversial first single 'Bloody Mother Fu*king As*hole,' Martha seemed destined to conquer modern folk right out of the gate. And so far, she's set out to move beyond her roots toward a more assertive approach that's earned her praise from all angles. From playing with legend Emmylou Harris to recognition in worldwide tours, covering ground as far away as Japan. Her latest record 'Come Home to Mama,' brings her [...]

Damn. First off Vince Staples sounds incredible on some Cardo production. But with this being the first time that I have pressed play on Joey Fatts, I am pretty much blown away. The Long Beach native comes on the track and partners up with Vince Staples to give me the same satisfaction out of a Cardo beat that I used to get when I would listen to Wiz on one. Vince Staples is one artist that definitely deserves more shine and to see him finally getting his due is great. Hopefully we can see a Joey Fatts & Vince collabo [...]

Today is a good day for dance music enthusiasts - we're able to watch not one impressive livestream, but two.  In addition to Tomorrowland , we are being treated to Kaskade's sold out Staples Center show tonight as well. The show kicks off at 9:15PM PST / 12:15 EST, and should serve as a nice source of entertainment for anyone who was planning to stay in tonight. It's also interesting to note that one year ago today Kaskade was also in LA, but stirring up all sorts of problems due to his impromptu "#flashcrowd, " which ended up shutting streets [...]

Veteran beat man The Alchemist has linked up with a bunch of youngsters today, creating a new cut which is spreading like wildfire through Twitter-land as I type. 'Elimantion Chamber' features Odd Future-ers Earl Sweatshirt and Domo Genesis, big beardo Action Bronson, and a geezer by the name of Vince Staples that I know nothing about. That's it, I've got nothing else to add. Make your own minds up on this one. You can check out 'Elimantion Chamber' for yourself below, or download it here .
