If you have the proper documentation (anything really: ID, mail, etc), though, you will be rewarded with FREE ENTRY ON SELECT DATES.

Follow us on Facebook and Twitter to stay up-to-date on when your neighbor bonus will be offered. (On Twitter, we’ll hashtag announcements with #90035, so you can search for them easily).

Aloha! Sashamon brings the island breeze Wed, 4/21.

Sashamon (sa-sha’-mon) – Maybe because he grew up on Molokai, Sashamon’s music brings a unique peaceful vibe to the island music scene.

Boogie With The Best of Crescent City Funk

BIG SAM’S FUNKY NATION, Friday, March 26. Click Here for SHOW LISTING

After supplying SXSW with some much needed rump shaking rhythm, Big Sam’s Funky Nation will hit Los Angeles and hold their CD release party for their fourth album “King of the Party” at The Mint! Join them and get your boogie on!

Big Sam’s Funky Nation is a driving force of urban funk. The band is led by trombone powerhouse, Big Sam Williams, formerly the trombonist for the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, who the San Francisco Chronicle calls “the top man on the slide trombone in the birthplace of jazz.”

This is not a one man show, however; the members of the Funky Nation, a group of well trained and experienced musicians with impressive credentials of their own, meet the challenges of their funky band leader. BSFN masterfully combines a rock sensibility with improv-style associated with jazz and the horn-heavy front section that’s the hallmark of big band funk.

A SUNNY DAY IN GLASGOW

A must see show: Saturday, 3/13, A Sunny Day in Glasgow w/ Pollyn + George Sarah

A Sunny Day in Glasgow:

“..dream-pop washes over you like an ‘ambient slipstream’.” – Pitchfork

“The songs hum like electricity and thump like groundswells, surprising and shifting with innovative pacing and dynamics. But they also sound natural and unhurried, seamlessly patched…A Sunny Day in Glasgow are writing years ahead of where they should be for such a young band, forming gargantuan records of consistently enjoyable and inventive melodic rock” – Coke Machine Glow

Pollyn:

This LA trio has produced official remixes for Gorillaz, Buffalo Daughter, and Liquid Liquid, pulling influences from Massive Attack to Talking Heads to Billie Holiday. Their sound is unique and bold, but comfortingly familiar. Definitely check out this psychedelic vid for “Still Love”: Click Here

George Sarah:
A LA music scene mainstay since 1985, Sarah, an electronic composer and multi-instumentalist performs original compositions from a bank of synthesizers and drum machines alongside a trio of live strings, bridging the normally discrete musical worlds of electronic and classical.

Saturday night’s bill is sure to make your brain float right out of your skull and take you away from black and white for a while. Come lose yourself in a well-crafted, dynamic blend of sound.
