U-N-I
“Oh Em Gee! It smells like a mixture of weed and gym class in there!” I’m talking to my group of friends as we spill out of the packed Viper room and onto the sidewalk for some fresh air. The crammed venue is a good sign for this ev...
PyInfamous - I Told Jesus
Let us introduce you to an MC(yes we luv the fact that he still considers himself an MC) from Crystal Springs, MS by the name of Pyinfamous. Unknown on the west coast, I got a few MP3’s sent to me and have decided to introduce this MC to our co...
Mateo @ Viper Room
You know, it’s been a tough time for male R & B singers lately. Autotune has dominated the industry and radio, the mention of a boy group sends most A& R’s into a laughing fit, and the very utterance of Chris Browns name…wel...
Eligh & Jo Wilkinson @ Amoeba
I’ve mentioned a few times that I work at a cool hang in Hollywood called Space 1520. About a week ago, while I was walking around my store and listening to the Kanye West VH1 Storytellers performance, the idea ran through my mind of doing some...

Myka 9 @ The Knitting Factory
Last night I went to go see a legend! Who is this legend I speak of? None other than LA’s own Myka 9. Myka played Knitting factroy and was joined onstage with JTheSarge spinning and spitting with him. Last night Myka 9 was promoting two project...
Busta Rhymes @ Nokia Theatre
“It’s Flipmode bitches!” The deep and familiar raspy voice was heard in the house speakers but the face was still hidden behind the curtains. “I said, it’s Flipmode bitches!!” The voice answered back to an unsatisf...
Diz Gibran @ Nokia Theatre
If you google the name “Diz Gibran” your going to find some of the top music and media publications endorsing this Los Angeles MC. It’s amazing. The man has more press than a pimp and is supposed to be considered an underground MC. ...
Weekly Picks - 3/2
So…Monday again. We have decided to change up it this week and ask for you to tell US about YOUR favorite bands and we will go check them and write about them. So if you have any suggestions, just let us know. On another note, we just uploaded...
Inverse @ UCLA
I hate being late to a show, especially a good one. So when I was running five minutes behind for the Inverse show at UCLA I was not a happy rapper to say the least. I feel the most guilt catching an artist play late and anything or anyone that stand...

We’re foolishly trying to help you get out and enjoy more music every week. While we can’t shower you with red carpets or gift bags, we can help you find every show every night of the week. Whether you’re a hipster or just a regular...
Weekly Picks - February 16th
Hey Loudvine.com Friends, So this may or may not be a short week for some of you guys. But we wanted to give you a few music choices that will make up for the filler time you have this rainy week. As always we have just updated the website with about...
POS @ Knitting Factory
Don’t let the dingy black tee shirt and 30 dollar Levi’s fool you, rapper/creatist POS is balling out of control. He’s balling out with pride over his latest release, Never Better, which is too perfect a title as the Minneapolis nat...
Mos Def @ House of Blues
There are few artists that can still get on a stage with just a mic and a DJ and tear down the house. Very few. If you’ve read any of my other pieces on Loudvine, you will know I am a huge fan and stickler of live shows, and that I have an open...
Wale @ Key Club
“Who is Wale again? I’m not quite sure if I’ve heard his music before.” It’s Thursday night and I am walking out of the 9000 building parking ramp headed towards the busy Sunset boulevard intersection. My companion for t...
Rob Roy on Loudvine.com
Rob Roy is all about the hustle. His story is about a dream, coming to LA and doing it his way. Blowin’ up along the way, he spends a few minutes with us to talk to Loudvine.com about this latest journey. The kid has upcoming shows at SXSX, but...
Pigeon John @ Knitting Factory
“Cause I don’t really care what they think/Tomorrow they’ll be doing my song and will be claiming it’s new/ and 2 years ago they used to say that aint even hip-hop now they dipped in a Sinatra suit” says an excited an Pi...
Illa J @ Knitting Factory
As 2008 draws to a close and we usher in the New Year, I am excited about the refreshing change we will witness in so many facets of our world. Change has been a big theme of 2008, and my hunch is ‘09 will carry on that torch even more. One of the ...
