In The Valley Below/The Mercy Beat Residency @ The Echo!
Seeing as it now says May on your calendar, that means it's time for another edition of Monday Residencies at The Echo! This month's residency features a double feature of sublime indie-pop sounds courtesy of In The Valley Below & The Mercy Beat! Echo Park locals In The Valley Below make gauzy and atmospheric records with strong pop hooks, inviting the listener in even while holding them at arms length. This mix has been garnering them steady attention at home and abroad, and this month's residency might just be the last time you can see this talented group for free! The other half of tonight's duo, The Mercy Beat similarly mines pop hooks inside sharply constructed soundscapes, reflecting a canny pop sensibility that shows in their live sets. The fun gets started tonight at 8:30pm, so y'all better get done with dinner quick!

Kelis @ The El Rey Giveaway!
2003 was a good year. Kelis' "Milkshake" is evidence enough. 2014 is a good year. Kelis' newest single "Rumble" is also evidence enough. We suggest you see both songs by entering our giveaway for tickets to see her June 4th at the El Rey! Your hips won't be sorry. Keep you eyes peeled for details later this week!
