Thanks to the LA Weekly, to Goldenvoice, to all the bands, artists and djs that rocked the streets of Downtown LA. And special thanks to all of our good friends (new and old) that stoped by our booth. You made Detour a blast. The Roxy Crew had a great time hanging at our tent that was disguised as a pink disco lounge. We handed out free tickets, stickers and, most popular, our homemade Pink Glowsticks to the thousands of smiling, happy, music loving people. It reminds me that sometimes you need to get out of the office and hit the road, even if it’s just to Downtown. Can’t wait for next year. Please feel to post your own pictures from Detour below.

We are so excited to welcome Nico Stai to the Roxy stage for the first time! A word of mouth artist, who’s been coined as “…the new boss†by Flaunt Magazine and compared to the likes of Matt Costa with his “achingly emotional acoustic tunes. Beautiful melodies and all the sensibilities of the purest singer-songwriters” according to Cd Review.com. We’re pretty happy to have him, along with Monster in the Machine, Robert Francis, and ROCKFOUR. Definitely a show to check out! Oh, and he’s kind of cute.
BPM Magazine is back at The Roxy with another amazing show - this time, THE CRYSTAL METHOD will celebrate the 10th anniversary of their album VEGAS, with special guests L.A. Riots, Lazaro Casanova, Le Castle Vania, and Guns N Bombs.

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

the first time I saw Joseph Arthur I levitated. Was about 1/2 an inch off the ground for about an hour. Dark Corner. Jack n Coke. Was flying solo as there was not room for even one more at Largo that night… An artist not to be missed and a show I’ll never forget. No need to say, it’s an honor to have Joseph Arthur for a 2 night run at The Roxy.
from Megan’s Not To Be Missed List
Billboard Magazine says, “a mature effort that shines with nakedness and clarityâ€
Entertainment Weekly says, “With images of needles, blood, and pills, Daydream’s song cycle moves through each breakup station of the cross with shimmering guitars and Arthur’s ecstatically woozy falsetto, finally emerging with a sweet, if hard-won hope. A -”
Vanity Fair says, “Joseph Arthur’s Nuclear Daydream is a glorious work of art from this exceptional, romantic singer-songwriter.”
Seattle Times says, “The New York artist is a spiritual descendant of Bob Dylan and John Lennon.”
CMJ says, “…his most beautiful.”
