Earlier this week, Eagle Rock’s modest little Welcome Inn transformed into a historic music fest. To celebrate experimental music that originated in Southern California between 1949 and 1977, The Society for the Activation of Social Space Through Art and Sound (SASSAS) booked mini concerts inside the rooms of the two-story motel. The idea was to give Los Angeles music fans the opportunity to enjoy a variety of musical styles simultaneously and sequentially in a single location across a 6-hour time span.

As guests arrived, they were greeted by a second story balcony performance of Free Jazz: Something Else! based on Something Else! The Calder Quartet was up next, playing the music of Arnold Schoenberg on violins, a viola, and cello.

The evening consisted of 8 motel rooms of various musical expression. Our favorites were as follows:

Gallery Music High Timez With Theophilus London

by Rich Thomas and Joe Gall
February 1, 2012 - 10:13 am

Of all the accolades Theophilus London received for his debut album, Timez Are Weird These Days, none was more highly regarded by the artist himself than the #7 spot he received on ChinaShop’s Best of 2011 list. Of course we can’t prove this, and there’s absolutely no evidence to substantiate the fact that he was even aware we had a list, but his swagged out, fashion-forward, post-hip-hop panache would lead us to believe that our fashion conscious and musically savvy blog is somehow resonating through the fabric of his trademark LVRS ball cap and limited edition, signature series, triple blue suede Cole Haans.

Featured Gallery Music Angels & Airwaves Fill The Red Bull Sound Space at KROQ

by Rich Thomas and Catie Laffoon
January 27, 2012 - 10:43 am

Little is the new big. At least that was the vibe when alternative dream rockers Angels & Airwaves stopped by the Red Bull Sound Space at the world famous KROQ in Los Angeles to play a handful of songs and answer questions from fans. Known for breaking some of Southern California’s biggest rock acts, the radio station formed a partnership with Red Bull last year to create Sound Space, an intimate stage on which some of the world’s best bands could perform for 150 of their closest friends and fans. Following Falling In Reverse, The Fray, New Found Glory, and Sound Space debut performers Coldplay, Angels & Airwaves ripped through a five-song set that included songs like “The Adventure,” “Anxiety,” “Everything’s Magic,” “Hallucinations,” and fan favorite, “Surrender.” Lead singer Tom DeLonge waxed poetic about the end of the world, making doodles of naked superheroes, and why Angels & Airwaves and Blink-182—the multi-platinum pop-punk group he’s fronted since 1992—are two sides of the same coin. After the set concluded, ChinaShop got some extra time with DeLonge in KROQ’s luxurious mail room to dig a bit deeper into the mythology, beauty, and DIY DNA that is Angels & Airwaves.
