HOLLYWOOD BREWFEST THIS SATURDAY - UNLIMITED TASTINGS + LIVE MUSIC

This Saturday night in Hollywood, we're presenting a beer festival at the gorgeous MUSIC BOX @ FONDA where for the $45 ticket price, you can drink unlimited tastings of over 35 breweries while watching bands on two stages and dancing to DJ's on the rooftop.

You've been to some beer festivals, you know what I'm talking about, the kind where people have their hat backwards, in some field with white tents, and if they happen to have music playing, it isn't the kind you wanna hear. We're looking to flip that experience, deliver cool sounds that represent Los Angeles and beyond, while you taste amazing beers like MAGIC HAT or cask beers in the Blue Palms Brewhouse. Breaking it down over 8 hours, the unlimited beer tastings makes this a cheap night out drinking, with bands as a bonus.

Here's the line up on the musical front:

JUST ANNOUNCED - LINE UP FOR THE RUMBLE: BROOKLYN @ SOUTHPAW

We're pleased to announce the line up for this month's RUMBLE: BROOKLYN @ Southpaw on November 18th. One of our new favorites, and a regular on the FS radio show on WOXY, is BODY LANGUAGE and their electronic finesse, as they headline a strong four band bill in Park Slope. The Philly based act, EAST HUNDRED support and newcomers PEEPHOLE and AERIAL EAST round out the pre-Thanksgiving Rumble. Party starts at 8pm.

FUTURE SOUNDS RADIO DEBUTS 11.09.09

We'll be highlighting all the bands playing this weekend's HOLLYWOOD BREWFEST later this week on the blog, so we'll reserve those bands appearing on the FS WOXY playlist for the first time for that feature. Here were the other new arrivals....

THE RENTALS
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Los Angeles
TRACK: Traces of Our Tears

Hardly a new band, but new to our FS radio show, THE RENTALS have been around since Matt Sharp put it together in the mid-90's. You will remember Sharp from his days as bassist for WEEZER, and their track "Friends Of P" back in the day. This is hardly an act living in the past, rather boldly creating a new release that includes a year long body of work called "Songs About Time" that's complete with daily and weekly photos, videos, new songs weekly, coffee table books, vinyl, and probably another 25 things I haven't mentioned. Bold indeed.

FENCES
MYSPACE
HOMETOWN: Seattle
TRACK: The Same Tattoos

FENCES is really about Chris Mansfield, a guy that manages to create perfect indie rock in a DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE kinda way. Originally from Boston, now in Seattle, everything we've heard from him is high quality. Unsigned

TONIGHT @ THE ARUBA - THE RUMBLE: LAS VEGAS RETURNS

Making another run at Sin City - THE RUMBLE: LAS VEGAS let's it ride at The Thunderbird Lounge at The Aruba for another FREE night of music. This month's party features 3 bands and a special guest DJ all brought to you by Future Sounds, Neon Reverb, Indigenous and WOXY.

Closing out their 6 city Rumble tour is the incredible APES OF WRATH. Watching them again and again, and their mid-afternoon performance at The Casbah in SD yesterday, it's easy to understand that this band has a huge future in front of them. They played songs off their newly finished full-length, 10 tracks of JONATHAN RICHMOND & THE MODERN LOVERS meets THE MUSLIMS/SP goodness. Just watching their drummer is a show within the show.

Las Vegas comes correct, and represent with THE SKOONERS, and band with gorgeous melodies at times while at other moments run off the rails. We've really enjoyed all that we've heard from this four piece and live they actually make indie kids dance.

Opening up are MINOR SUNS, an unsigned band from Vegas that create some gorgeous sounding indie rock that would find a nice home on Thrill Jockey or Barsuk.

The special guest DJ this month is DJ MIKEATTACK!

The party is FREE - The Thunderbird Lounge is inside The Aruba at 1215 S. Las Vegas Blvd

SATURDAY MATINEE SHOW - THE RUMBLE: SAN DIEGO @ THE CASBAH

The early bird gets the worm, or in this case, the Ape, as THE RUMBLE: SAN DIEGO returns to the Casbah this Saturday for a FREE matinee show with APES OF WRATH, AWOLNATION and THE OLD IN OUT, brought to you by Future Sounds, Indigenous, WOXY, Spin Earth, M Theory Records, SDdialed In, CityBeat and Trumer Pils.

If the APES OF WRATH continue their Rumble devastation tour in the fashion they've been going over the last few nights, playing their home turf tomorrow is going to be a spectacle. The trio sounds tighter than ever after four nights on the road, and I just received a copy of their full length and it's incredible.

Coming up from LA is the force that is AWOLNATION. You may recall frontman, Aaron Bruno from UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF GIANTS previously, this is his new project that is drawing big crowds in Los Angeles. High energy and with personality for a couple bands, not to be missed.

Opening up is the SD act, THE OLD IN OUT, and if you just go by the name, their going to bring the nasty. We had our local partners tell us how amazing they are live, so we've put together a line up of three acts that we know stand and deliver on stage.

Coming strong as guest DJ's this month are the dynamic duo of DJ RED OCTOBER and DJ C. WIZARD.

This is a FREE show and there will be beer specials provided by TRUMER PILS all afternoon long.

THE PARTY LASTS FROM 3PM-6PM
Come out early and start your Saturday night off right
