| Tonight @ the Echoplex: Killer Mike, Open Mike Eagle, Nocando, Busdriver, Llamas w/ Swag | February 21, 2012 |
I was all set to do one of those sarcastic self-aggrandizing spiels where I use a ton of alliteration and make esoteric references to farm animals in the hopes of getting you to come to the Echoplex tonight. On second thought, I may have just done that. Thankfully, the the erudite Eagle has penned a […]
| Wonder Showzens: Passion of the Weiss Presents Schedule | February 16, 2012 |
Forgive me if the next 10 days descends into a flurry of self-promotional B.S. I will try to be tasteful. But obvious bias aside, I’m proud to be putting this site’s name on a pair of upcoming shows. The first goes down next Tuesday, February 21. Killer Mike. Busdriver. Nocando. Open Mike Eagle. At the […]

| Passion of the Weiss (Co) Presents: Blazing 45’s with Rich Medina, Peanut Butter Wolf et. al; Hosted by DJ Danny Holloway | January 16, 2012 |
Unless you live in Los Angeles, you may not know the name Danny Holloway. And even if you’re a resident, you still might be benighted towards the Dublab selector and crate-digger extraordinaire, whose respect runs abyssal within the DJ world. Holloway is a throwback to the days when DJ’s discovered and broke obscure gems through […]
| Tonight: Shabazz Palaces & TheeSatisfaction | October 18, 2011 |
Tonight: serrated rap and subduction zone bass. I have two pairs of tickets to give away to the first two people who e-mail [email protected] to tell me the sample on this Digable Planets song.
| Passion of the Weiss Presents: Shabazz Palaces & Theesatisfaction — Tuesday, October 18 @ The Echo | October 12, 2011 |
The Echo, for the Hosts that profess infinitum. There is only one excuse not to go to this — that you’re going to Portishead at the Shrine. And even then, Portishead play on Wednesday night too. So there are no excuses. Now that that’s settled. Download: MP3: Shabazz Palaces-“Swerve…The Reaping of All That is Worthwhile […]
| Tonight’s the Night Like Betty Wright | September 29, 2011 |
First the good news. Against long odds and last minute chaos, this is going down this evening. Birthday parties, etc. Danny Brown’s XXX as the unofficial sdtk. There will be a DJ set from everyone’s favorite Stones Throw Skippy-loving Wolf. There is also the rumor of a performance from everyone’s favorite Brainfeeding San Diego-bred murderer. […]
| Passion of the Weiss & Hellfyre Club Present: Dry Acid (9/29) | September 23, 2011 |
Why is this next Thursday different from all next Thursday’s? 111) It’s the album release party for Flash Bang Grenada (Busdriver + Nocando) 222) It’s the first LA show ever from the mighty Spaceghostpurrp 333) It features a performance from the enigmatic Stones Throw-affiliated Folerio, who is known for his sonic trickery, mastery of Krav […]
| We Can Freak It | July 25, 2011 |
Freak City Show from Caseytography on Vimeo. No need to hype one’s own show. If you do it right, people talk, and re-tweets are about as far as I can stand for outward self-aggrandizement. Thankfully, the highly gifted Jon Casey (the filmmaker behind Quik Fest ’11) has captured footage of last Thursday’s funkfest at Freak […]
| Passion of the Weiss & Hellfyre Club Present: Dam-Funk, The Coathangers, Nocando, & Salva (Next Thursday, July 21) | July 12, 2011 |
If there’s nothing for you on this lineup, then you’re probably in the wrong warp zone. The Facebook Invite is up. $12. The cost of one drink at a lame LA bar. Barring you being a bubble boy (or “person” if we’re being politically correct), there’s no excuse not to go. 9 p.m. until the […]
