Gimme, gimme, gimme - the holidays are all about the gimmes and the givies. But only “Gimme Shelter” at The Roxy givies as much as it gimmes. And with everyone from Mandy Moore to Pete Yorn to Phantom Planet playing this year (the final concert after 16 years), that’s something to be thankful for.
What: Gimme Shelter – a rock show with a purpose. Featuring : Pete Yorn, Mandy Moore, Phantom Planet, Mathew Sweet and others to go unplugged and rock The Roxy. Concert benefits the Spectrum Program (for autistic children) at New Roads School in Santa Monica (a rockin’ independent college prep schoold).
Why: School of Rock didn’t end with Jack Black.
When: Tues. December 11th. 7 p.m.
Where: The Roxy Theatre, 9009 West Sunset Blvd. (310-278-9457)
After we all (hopefully) enjoyed a little time away from work and school, their’s no better way to ease yourself into the swing of things than with a great show!
So, as if the Last Annual Gimme Shelter Benefit wasn’t already the hottest bill - it somehow keeps getting better! We already have our dear Heko’s favorite accounted for- in the boys of Phantom Planet, and our very own Megan Jacobs is ready to rock - and now, I am very happy to announce that MY personal favorite, Mandy Moore has just been added. So, grab your tickets, because they are getting sparse. It will definitely be a night to remember!

A night not to be missed….history in the making.
“I like to celebrate the possible, the highest, the best of possibilities for human beings, It’s easy to be pessimistic given the state of the world. But I’m inspired by people like Martin Luther King, Jr. and Gandhi who had the ability to transform. Collectively we create an enormously powerful force that can change the world and overcome any obstacle.” -Raul Midon. We are so happy to have him back on our stage.
Portishead’s former DJ Andy Smith first met group frontman Geoff Barrow while the two were at school; he eventually joined Barrow’s touring band as support DJ. He also appeared with the Fugees, Republica, and Prophets of the City, and released his debut mix album, The Document, in early 1998. A follow-up was five years in coming, but The Document II proved just as varied and exciting as the first. - John Bush, All Music Guide
DJ Andy Smith is playing The Roxy this coming Wednesday, October 3rd, with Troublemaker and J-Logic. Get your tickets now!
A one-time member of the West Coast neo-psychedelic bands the Three O’Clock and Jellyfish, Jason Falkner went out on his own by 1996, playing jagged power pop with impeccable arrangements, a clue to both his classically trained childhood and additional time spent working on the first LP by another classical popster, Eric Matthews. Born in Los Angeles in 1968, Falkner grew up listening to West Coast pop bands like Love and Crosby, Stills & Nash but later began taking piano lessons in preparation for a classical career. Pop music regained control of his life when he discovered his sister’s punk/new wave collection, and Falkner began playing the guitar, later appearing in several bands from his high school. After stints with Three O’Clock and Jellyfish, Falkner worked with Eric Matthews on the 1996 LP It’s Heavy in Here, and finally got what he had been looking for all the time: a solo deal. Through Elektra Records, he released his acclaimed debut Presents Author Unknown, also in 1996. The following year, he played on Matthews’ second album, The Lateness of the Hour, and in early 1999 issued his own sophomore effort, Can You Still Feel? It was followed in 2001 by Necessity: The 4-Track Years, a collection of home recordings, and Bedtime with the Beatles, a covers album featuring instrumental lullabies of Fab Four favorites.
Jason Falkner plays on Filter’s Revenge of the Sunset Strip on September 13th, 2007 with Castledoor and Annie Stela. Tickets are now available - call the Roxy or purchase through Ticketmaster.

Formed in 1991 at Chico State in Northern California, The Mother Hips have run the gamut of experiences as a band - from dorm band to buzz band to cult favorite. They took an extended break which nearly became a permanent one after the 2001 album’s release, but decided to reconvene a few years ago, first playing shows, and now as a full-fledged band, writing, recording and releasing new music.
Their new album, Kiss The Crystal Flake, reintroduces the world to The Mother Hips’ own brand of California rock, blending a natural psychedelia with their own 21st century musicianship and songwriting.
The Mother Hips come back to The Roxy on September 7th with Broken West - and our good friends at Indie 103.1 are presenting the show. Get your tickets now!
