JAXART Records will be one of the sponsors for this year’s F YEAH FEST in Echo Park. What does that mean? Well it means we gave them a bunch of money to say how much they love us (Kidding).

JAXART is all about supporting the local music scene in Los Angeles and the dudes behind the festival (which is now in its unprecedented 5th year) really work their asses off to make it the ultimate showcase for undiscovered music from not just LA but across the country.

F YEAH FEST 5 will go down next weekend August 30th and 31st. This year’s fest is more than just a festival. It’s a series of events, shows, scavenger hunts, and of course one massive party for a few good causes. Check out all the event details below. Tickets are only $18 and can be purchased in advanced through ticketweb or at the list of shops after the jump.

Tickets for the Scavenger hunt can be purchased at LARecord.com.

All the details after the break!

Mezzanine Owls and The Pity Party are playing TONIGHT at Alex’s Bar down in Long Beach w/ Coco B’s at The Secret 6’s record release show. A lineup that good is deserving of my rations.

Mezzanine Owls just opened for Swervedriver on May 29th at The Filmore and The Pity Party just returned from a month long trip from the UK and recently received a full page write up in NME (read the article here).

Show begins at 9PM. Order is below.

Last night The Henry Clay People played with The Whigs and Le Switch at The Echo. Kind of the perfect lineup if you ask me considering that Henry Clay was the founding member of the Whig Party (wiki that shit).

Photographer Benjamin Hoste shot some stellar photos at the show. You can view his entire photo set here. There’s even a photo of yours truly rocking a mean avocado (you heard me) on stage with the Clays during “Children Of Chin.”

All Ages show at the ECHO with the Whigs and Le Switch — Discount List!

This WEDNESDAY, June 4, we’ll be playing with THE WHIGS and LE SWITCH at our home away from home, the Echo.

Also, this one is All Ages, so for all those under 21ers throughout the southland who have been dying to go to the Echo but never can because it is usually 21+, now’s your chance.

It’s also a bit earlier than most Echo shows - Doors at 8pm-

8:30 - Le Switch
9:30 - Us
10:30 - The Whigs

AND — we have an UNLIMITED “Discount” list: $10 instead of $13. That’s one extra Dewars…or Root Beer….

Send us a message or send an email to people@thehenryclaypeople.com to put your name on it.

BUT If you’re out and about in Silverlake/Echo Park TONIGHT be sure to check out two JAXART bands who will be playing FREE Shows TONIGHT.

Then head over to Spaceland for Mezzanine Owls‘ Residency with support from Eagle and Talon, We Barbarians, and The Black Kites.

Both shows are totally FREE.

The Henry Clay People and Mezzanine Owls 7″ Vinyl Singles can be purchased in our JAXART store for just $7 or purchased at shows for only $5. Free shipping on all store items!

PS. You can see BOTH BANDS on the same stage next Monday May 19th at Spaceland for FREE.

Fancy my luck - This past Monday The Henry Clay People AND Mezzanine Owls were playing two stellar shows on either side of town. I had to make a tough decision and missed Henry Clay People’s show.

BUT thanks to Mouse at Classical Geek Theater’s lengthy review loaded with tons of photos I feel like I was there. Joey apparently got 2/3’s of The Viper Room crowd to do rock jumps during the band’s epic final song. West of La Brea that’s like trying to part the red sea. Joey you deserve a medal.

Read the entire review right here.

The Henry Clay People will play with Le Switch and Division Day next Monday at The Echo while Mezzanine Owls play night 2 of their residency with Eagle And Talon, We Barbarians. and The Black Kites (head to head again!). May 19th you can catch both JAXART bands at Spaceland w/ Eli Paperboy Reed and Lovelikefire.

Web In Front - The newest kick ass addition to the LA music blog scene, just posted a fantastic review of night one of Mezzanine Owls residency at Spaceland! You won’t want to miss next week’s lineup of We Barbarians, Black Kites, and Eagle and Talon.

“…the bands created an L.A. inversion of ‘60s pop, ’80s shoegaze, and ‘00s indie which became a bloody valentine of noise that left ears both endlessly ringing and relentlessly giddy.”
