Ja Prawn was born from the murky depths of the LA River in the early millennium, and has been relentlessly rocking Los Angeles’ diveyest dance clubs and underground caverns ever since. Ja Prawn is a demigod sculpted of synth sludge, apocalyptic sci-fi soundtracks, and pawn shop lo-fi glory. After honing their sound at Don Bolles’ nightclub “Ding-a-Ling” in Silverlake, CA, Ja Prawn has finally unleashed its spawn into the world.
Ja Prawn is all over town this week. And Kirby and Bram are back on the road soon, so this is your last chance to taste the live prawn for quite some time. You’ve been warned – don’t sleep on this you-all…

Field Music are a band from Sunderland, England who formed in 2004. The band’s core consists of brothers David and Peter Brewis (who at one time played drums for fellow Sunderland band The Futureheads), with Andrew Moore. Their line-ups have at times featured members of both Maximo Park and The Futureheads. Previous incarnations include The New Tellers and Electronic Eye Machine.
“A sparkling construct of whirring guitars, eccentric percussion, windmill-tilting bass… Dual lead vocalists Peter and David Brewis swap quixotic, often-falsetto harmonies. Field Music has fashioned a distinctive voice and near-perfect arrangements.” :: Pitchfork
Do not miss this show!
Cellist and bassist Gabe Noel has a finely tuned ear, pulling together some of L.A.’s best musicians for his project Rhoda, from Vosotros Presents: Rhoda. Lush arrangements, the hiss and scratch of vintage technology and seductive vocals by Mia Doi Todd amazingly capture an entire relationship in just 3 1/2 minutes. Today’s Top Tune is called “New Farmer.”
