Go To This Tuesday: The Aquadolls at The Smell

DOWNTOWN L.A. - If you are looking for something fun and maybe discover a new, excited band then it is highly suggested you go to The Smell in downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday evening to see The Aquadolls.

The Aquabats will be sharing the stage with, Together Pangea and The Audacity.

As The Aquadolls, who are on the independent label Burger Records, tell on their Facebook page, the band was, "Founded by Melissa Brooks, The Aquadolls started in January 2012. The current lineup is Melissa Brooks on vocals/guitar, joined by Ryan Frailich on vocals/guitar, Josh Crawford on bass, and Colin Moore on drums. The Aquadolls songs put forth “trip out” sorta vibes, as well as quite aggressive ones."

Here is a recent interview The Aquadolls did with Impression Magazine.

Tickets to Tuesday's show are $10.

UPDATE: Oh crap! According to The Smell's website this show is SOLD OUT and no tickets will be available at the door. Well, if you are a regular show goer then you know when a show is reportedly sold out there is always a way to get in, and so it is still highly suggested you try to do what you can to get into this show.

Checking out The Aquadolls' tune below, "Our Love Will Always Remain," you can tell there is going to be a lot of fun at their show Tuesday.




So go!

Who Loves L.A.? Go Before Sunday to See Debroah Sussman

HOLLYWOOD - For those who remember growing up in Los Angeles and throughout Southern California in the 1970s and 80s may remember the bold colors that lined Zody's, Standard Shoe Stores, J. Magnin, brochures for LACMA and the iconic designs of the 1984 L.A. Olympics, well, that was the work of one Deborah Sussman.

Now, with the help of a Kickstarter campaign, the Woodbury University run WUHO Gallery on Hollywood Boulevard presents, “Deborah Sussman Loves Los Angeles,” which collects the 82-year-old designer’s work from 1953 to 1984.

During that time and beyond driving around Southern California you probably have encounter Ms. Sussman's work.

As The New York Times says, "Part of the goal of the exhibition was to bring the designer’s work into the Pinterest age, said the architect and Woodbury University professor Barbara Bestor, one of the exhibition’s curators."

The influence of Ms. Sussman's work is evident with the design of the 2012 London Olympics.

For those who love L.A. and remember those unique colors from their L.A. childhood journeys this is something not to be missed.

This is the last weekend to view the work of Ms. Sussman, and it is highly recommended you go!

Runs now through Sunday, open 1 p.m. until 6 p.m.
