Currently writing this newsletter wrapped in a woven blanket that my mom hand-knitted for me eating (drinking?) soup. Cozy work-from-home game? Unmatched. It’s finally starting to feel like fall, and I am so here for it.
Rain, rain, go away, here’s another sweet Halloween giveaway!
Your Halloween plans shouldn't involve standing in a bar listening to "Thriller" for the sixteenth time. Groove Factory and Clubview Records have a better idea: a Santa Monica Halloween party with NAAR, Sosh & Mosh, Stoley, Kaveh, and Kröw. We've got a pair of tickets to give away!*
JUST ANNOUNCED
Ms. Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean made The Score one of the defining hip-hop albums of the '90s. Now they're sharing a stage at the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday, 11/8. Get tickets!*
Papa Roach is still cutting lives into pieces, 27 years after "Last Resort." Catch the nu-metal rockers with Ice Nine Kills and Ninth Key at Honda Center next June. Tickets drop this Friday, 10/23 at 10AM!*
If you haven’t seen a movie under the dome at Cosm in Inglewood yet, then “get outta my swamp!” Transport into Shrek’s “Land of Fairytales” this December for the world’s first animated cinematic experience in Shared Reality. Sign up for presale access!*
This Halloween, BAD Looks GOOD On You at The Kimpton Everly Hotel! Come dressed to kill and sip your way through a wicked night of cocktails, music, and dangerously good vibes. Win a pair of VIP tickets and complimentary drinks!
Plus fresh announcements from Iron Maiden, The Growlers, Zach Bryan, and more!
