Dominic Bakewell

Dominic Bakewell, a stay-at-home dad, has been playing music and writing songs for over 30 years and recently turned to writing children’s songs after the birth of his son. His alternative rock pop style has been carried into his children’s music. The multi-instrumentalist began playing at house parties as a teenager with his friends and then played the Los Angeles club scene in various bands. At the age of 50 he finally released his first album, Monkey Shoes, which many say is sure to be a classic. The CD has catchy, melodic and smart songs with great beats that kids and parents will love.

Come see Dominic, backed by a great band, perform his children’s music of catchy, melodic and smart songs with great beats that kids and parents love. No cover charge.

¡Descarga! is a monthly Afro-Latin music gathering for the people. This event is an alternative to the commercial salsa nights that have dominated the LA scene for years. Resident DJs Sloe Poke, Mando, Bobby Soul, Loslito, and Mexican Dubwiser spin classic salsa and cumbia; plus merengue, punta and reggaeton. With live bands gracing the stage at midnight at nearly every show, it has become the taste-making New York to L.A. soiree, running over 5 years strong.

Saturday 08.09.08: FLOSSTRADAMUS / N.A.S.A / TROUBLEMAKER / DJ KID LIGHTNING @ echoplex

Flosstradamus

Flosstradamus || Listen

Chicago’s Flosstradamus are the perfect DJs for impatient Web surfers accustomed to having the entire history of recorded music at their cursor-tips. “We’re like MP3 bloggers, but with skills,” says twenty-six year-old Curt Cameruchi (a.k.a. Autobot). Armed with four turntables, two laptops, two mixers, two sequencer/samplers, a Serato MP3 “scratcher” and more than 5,000 tracks, Cameruchi and twenty-four-year-old Josh “J2K” Young craft brain-frying live sets that fuse jiggly Windy City club music, gritty crunk, cheesed-out R&B and the occasional indie-rock remix: a Flosstradamus gig features blends of Michael Jackson and Justice, Full Force and Bloc Party, Daft Punk and Jay-Z.

Flosstradamus distinguish themselves not just with track selection, but with the way they tweak, fiddle,and freak every cut — it sounds like the songs are being ripped up and sewn back together again in real time. “In the blog era of DJing, everyone has everything,” says Young, whose older sister is underground rapper Kid Sister. “Now, you have to set yourself apart with your performance, and by creating your own stuff.” – Rolling Stone
