Foxboro Hot Tubs at The Roxy, OMG! What an exciting show!! This band has caused quite a buzz on the web and we cannot wait to see them live! Because of the demand on this show, you can only purchase tickets in person at The Roxy box office the day of the show. Tickets will be $20 cash and there is a two ticket maximum per person and both people must be together in line to receive the tickets. Have no fear tho, because we are allowing you to lineup starting 8am on the day of the show. So once you are in line and get to the door, you will buy your tickets and immediately proceed into The Roxy. Get ready to strut your stuff on the Sunset Strip and make an event out of it! Meet some fans in line…share stories…and make some new friends. Have no doubt, you will find some internet fame as I will undoubtedly be blogging the line in true Roxy fashion. We know their fans are traveling from near and far for this show - and we can’t wait to see you all! Also, a friendly reminder - no recording devices of any kind, no cameras and/or cell phones will be allowed into the show!

The Deadly Syndrome: a bio in two parts
Part One, “The Truth”
Four young gentlemen were born to 8 parents. One from New York, One from Louisiana, and the rest from California. Through a series of fortunate events (broken bones, concussions, divorces, successful marriages, siblings, fishing trips, and dreams), the boys all found their way to Los Angeles. The California boys had already known each other from University, and moved there together. The New Yorker moved because it was time to move, and the New Orleanite, moved because of the weather. Then through jobs, and girlfriends the fellows came to realize that they wanted to do something more with their hands, so they built bridges, and verses, and pre-choruses. The 4 guys are now The Deadly Syndrome, where all have a hand in writing the music.
Part Two, “The Lie”
One of them is a liar.
THE END.

This Thursday kicks off the first of an exciting series of events, Filter Magazine’s Revenge of the Sunset Strip at The Roxy. With these shows, we are focusing on bringing great music back to the Sunset Strip, where it belongs. The first night kicks off with KENNA, fresh off the New York bill of Live Earth, and special guest Carina Round.
A very cool mix of music and art on The Strip. Come on down and support the local arts community while rocking out to some great bands.
THIRD EYE GATHERING (3EG) www.3eg.org is a Non Profit Organization dedicated to supporting a community of artists and intellectuals of all mediums. They feature some of the best music and art in the Los Angeles area and they have a loyal following of attendees who appreciate esoteric art and unconventional topics like Sacred Geometry and Quantum Physics. 3EG has not done a show in over a year and a half and they are coming out of the shadows with a bang. Former Interscope recording artists, WOVEN, have been in the studio for over two years and they are making 3EG the very first gig of many, to showcase what they have been creating, locked in that studio. In addition, Reality-Entertainment recording artists, DEADBOLT ZEN, is taking this opportunity to use 3EG as a vehicle to celebrate their CD release. ANIMATRONICS and THE BLAME will also be gracing the stage, making this an awesome night for music and art lovers. A 3EG event is also known for stunning visuals courtesy of WICKS LIQUID LIGHT SHOW. 3EG’s goal is to create a community of musicians, artists, thinkers and people who appreciate art of all mediums and give them a permanent home where they can bond and exchange ideas. 3EG will also showcase a few of the best “underground artists” in the LA area like Cam De Leon and Tony Koehl.
3EG started as a yearly three day event of like-minded thinkers getting together to celebrate live music, philosophy and art under a unique culture. With four years of successful experiences under their belt, they are now ready to bring this unique experience to The Roxy. Their long term plan is to ground 3EG to its own space, which will serve as the organization headquarters to help underprivileged and disenfranchised youth/adults by acting as a community center for the arts. Because their organization is grounded in Music, Art and Philosophy, they have a unique message to offer people who may have had a difficult time connecting with other people who have other interests. Please go to www.3eg.org to learn more about the organization and events. Lastly, please go to groups.myspace.com/3EG to see more pictures.

The Western States Motel at The Scene in Glendale. Scott Simoneaux of Infectious Publicity hipped me this band days ago…and I’ve fallen for them.

THE LIFE FORCE TRIO
SLAMMIN ALL BODY BAND
I caught Slammin backstage at North Beach Jazz Fest last summer.
And acting as MC and host of the night…the InFamous MikeThePoet.
MikeThePoet sums up my east-side experience for he was ringleader of the Roundtable. MikeThePoet & The Poets of the Roundtable would host monthly events at 33 1/3 bookstore on the corner of Alvarado and Sunset that became critical sessions - like food to feed the fire - we all left inspired… MCs and Street Art, 40’s in brown bags outside the bookstore. Those were the days…. The Bonaventure like my compass - backdrop was always downtown LA.
MIKE THE POET

APRIL 27-29 **Gotta give big props to COACHELLA **
And each year has a theme. Last year we were Spinning and Drifting. Rule number One: don’t drop into Coachella at like 5pm on Saturday. You’ll try to catch up too fast. (last seen holding onto fake rock and tree while they appear to be spinning and drifting in a sea of Depeche Mode fans). This year, we’ve named it Coachmella. Lookin forward to chillin with y’all in the desert. So raise those incense sticks high in the air and turn up those radio dials….windows down..grace slick blaring to the sky…coachmella here we come.
and don’t sleep on the NEW ORLEANS JAZZ FESTIVAL. No better time than now to continue to show your support for one of America’s most amazing cities. Another yearly ritual of mine…and I must go. I love New Orleans.

hope you enjoyed as much as I did …now…don’t miss!- megan j
Because 10 is too few and 15 is too many…
Can I just start this off asking why is thirteen a bad number? People are really freaked when it is Friday the 13th. Hotels don’t have a 13th floor… It is really intriguing. So I did some research. Did any of you know that it spawned from the Last Supper and how many people (apostles) were in attendance? Those silly superstitious folks applied it to Friday for whatever reason. I didn’t and don’t care but I am taking it back from the superstitions that tout it as bad. I know a lot of excellent people born on the 13 and occasionally their birthdays land on a Friday… no devil spawns there.
With that said I coin my first entry on The Roxy’s page as my Hot Thirteen Things to do before April 8th. I am running this backwards so don’t hate me
(something to know: most events with me are all about food or involve food)
13. I know the fad is a little over but Pinkberry is pretty amazing. So park your car at my house and join me in a short jaunt over to Pinkberry to get a Medium Plain with Pineapple and Raspberry. We can sit on our stoop and enjoy the sweet and sour yogurt that will help cool you down and help with your digestive tract. ☺
12. April 7 – 
The Gossip (nuf said, right?). Beth is an amazingly over the top woman and the band is so much fun. All I can say is the cupcake remnants on the carpet by the kitchen make me smile every time I step over the brown smudge that the cleaning crew couldn’t get out.
11. April 4 - Persephone’s Bees (feels like a slight throw back to the Castro District in 1979 – very hip- very hippy- super su-weet). Because this is an introduction to me you are probably not aware that half of my life I was a Nor Cal girl so I feel some major love for peeps from Oakland. Have yourself a good time making some honey with the Bees and then follow it up with a late night dinner at Fred 62 (I highly recommend the breakfast burrito if you are a carnivore).
10. April 2 – Ratatat. My friend Garsh hipped me to them. Hip Hop/Rock/Electronica?! How can things get so good… Wish that they had a guest performance with Mac Mall (that would be THE most amazing show ever)
9. I have no event to pair with this so get a group of friends together and head over to Trader Vics for some Wasabi Mashed Potatoes and some Pineapple-y umbrella drinks! I promise a good time. Only bummer is the required valet parking… but I still think it is worth it for an LA landmark (Especially since there is talk about potentially leveling it to build some luxurious suites and such).
8. My friend Bo would like to get me to go salsa dancing with her on Tuesday nights but I would rather go to Messob for some delectable Ethiopian eats. And I can usually persuade her to join if it is not on a Tuesday night! For four people you can share the vegetable platter for two. So cheap and SO yum. You may leave there feeling a little high… we did the first time we ate there.
7. A day of shopping is usually fun… even if no money ends up being spent. I recommend hitting up Marc by Marc Jacobs on Melrose followed by H&M at the Bev Center. Insiders tip: wear a skirt and a tank and you can avoid the hideous dressing room line at H&M – just head to the less frequented kids section and have your own fitting room (this is definitely not for someone who is modest because you will flash people on accident and people will give you looks like you are raping a goat).
6. Early morning jaunt to Starbuck’s on Melrose across from Urban Outfitters (they make my drink correct every single time – Iced Grande Decaf 7 pump Caramel Macchiato), they don’t say I am a sweetie for no reason. With the weather being so brilliant these days you can follow a good cup of coffee off with anything as long as you are outside.
5. If you like art and want to make a day of it I would hit up The Getty followed by a trip to Bergamot Station. Both are pleasantly placed with nice little walkabouts.
4. My favorite artist from my stint at Otis who I had the pleasure of meeting when Courtney Love played The Roxy a few years ago: Mark Ryden show at Michael Kohn Gallery
3. April 5 – Man Man. I listened to it this morning and I felt like I was in a cabaret with paintings of tightrope walking, umbrella carrying maidens (think Mark Ryden, mentioned above mixed with a little Haunted Mansion at Disneyland). Dark and evil with an uplifting cheerful chanting similar to most Klezmer music
2. Titos Tacos: bean, cheese and salsa burrito. My mouth waters just thinking about it. Don’t stress out about the line just get in, place the order and move to the side while your lady gets you all set.
1. At long last it’s here! MOSQUITO HEAD’S only ANNUAL PLAY (in my backyard no less – On The Rox)!! I am entirely biased about this because I have known these guys more than half of my life and because I consider a couple of them to be amongst my nearest and dearest. But the band only plays once a year and you never know who will jump on stage to play with them… not to mention that Tad’s package looks great (according to Ashley) in those black leather pants. You want to see this show. I promise.
