Final Mystic Braves Residency @ The Echo!

For the last time this month, Echo Park faves and OV alums Mystic Braves take the Echo stage tonight with their patented blend of garage and psych rock! Formerly known as Blackfeet Braves, these guys have been gaining recognition within LA over the last couple years, and for good reason. The Braves craft groovy, psychedelic jams that tunnel right to pleasure centers in both your brain and your feet. Their 2013 self-titled album was one of our favorite local records of the year and we are super stoked for their newest record Desert Island which comes out later this month! So stop on by The Echo tonight at 8:30 for a kickass night of music courtesy of Mystic Braves. See you there!

DIIV @ CFAER ft. Em & Steen! Record Club!

This Tuesday night, Em and Steen are furthering their plot to take over L.A with a doubleheader of DJing at DIIV in Eagle Rock and at the El Prado for Record Club. We fully support your decision to attend both because:
1. DIIV is awesome
2. EmSteen is awesome
3. Record Club is awesome

So grab some friends and L.A-hop tonight with OV! It's like a buddy cop movie but not at all.

Patten In-Store!

Tonight at 7PM, we've got the uber-talented patten in our loft for a special DJ set! A London-based producer and musician, patten has been releasing forward thinking electronic music since 2006, steadily gaining buzz and fans for his play on BoC-esque experimental landscapes and intense live performances. Largely unclassifiable (and semi-anonymous), patten has been all-over the underground world map, a point demonstrated masterfully on his newest release ESTOILE NAIANT, out on Warp. We're super intrigued by the thought of his live set this Friday night and hope you can come scratch (and nod) your heads with us tonight at 7PM! See you there!



Giveaways This Week!
Connan Mockasin @ The Echoplex 5/16 - 1 pair!

Now that we've planned your week, enjoy it like a capybara getting scratched!

OV PRESENTS: Future Islands TONIGHT @ CFAER!

Good news buds! Along with FYF, OV is proud to present Future Islands at the Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock. Hailing from Baltimore, this synthpop band is known for their engaging and theatrical stage presence, especially from their vocalist, Samuel T. Herring. Needless to say this show is sold out, and people who were fortunate to snag a ticket are in for a crazy night. Having just announced their signing to 4AD, we were stoked to hear that they will release their new album Singles in March of 2014. We are looking forward to this album, especially after the masterpiece that was their last album, On The Water.

Here's what our friends at Ticketfly had to say about their previous album: "Future Islands' romantic synth sound scales new heights with On the Water, the Baltimore trio's most ambitious and fully realized statement yet. Built around a song cycle exploring love, loss, and memory, their latest album finds the band continuing to deliver pounding rhythms, swelling melodies, and undeniable hooks - but finding new ways to probe inner space and tug at hearts. Convening in March 2011 in Elizabeth City, NC's historic, waterfront Andrew S. Sanders House, vocalist Samuel T. Herring, bassist William Cashion, and keyboardist Gerrit Welmers lived together in a space that served as both studio and sleeping quarters. The band used this tranquil retreat to refine their most reflective and mature batch of songs to date, adding new material in the process. What emerged is a lush yet visceral album about two parallel journeys--one physical and one psychological. On the Water's narrator offers enough detail that their story feels personal, yet open enough that any listener can inhabit each twist and emotional pang as their own." Herring also just started working creatively with producer Chris Coady (Beach House, Yeah Yeah Yeah's, Grizzly Bear) so we can't wait to see what this album will entail!

Can't wait until the album drops? Give a listen to Singles first single "Seasons (Waiting On You)" below!



Opening for the talented trio is Vice Cooler, an artist known for mixing beats in a way in which he produces unique and distinct sounds. His strange (in a good way) sounds and variations of patterns and beats make for a very interesting musical experience, and his live performance is no doubt an even greater one. Needless to say this night will be a treat - it's a sold out event that's bound to be a crowd-pleaser!
