SMOG Presents: Joker + Plastician @ The Observatory OC 1/12/13 [Concert Review]

SMOG brought two of the UK’s finest producers to Southern California – Bristol’s Joker and Croydon’s Plastician – for a bass-filled evening at the Observatory in Santa Ana, CA on Saturday, January 12. Newham Generals’ Footsie provided support along with Son of Kick and a back-to-back set from SMOG all-stars Kelly Dean and Pawn.

SMOG presents: Joker + Plastician @ The Observatory | Tickets

Not too long ago when Fabricated approached Drew of SMOG to say "hello" and get some intel on what they had planned for the upcoming year, Drew replied with, "Just wait and see." Around that time Joker tweeted something to the affect of "USA NYE & January!" I had a gut feeling, but I wasn't sure. Now it's for sure and everyone in the LA/LB/OC area is buzzing with excitement. The last time he was here was for Beyond Wonderland. I don't even remember what year that was. So we're long overdue for Purple City. Put your Sega controller down and purchase your tickets HERE. Also performing: Plastician + Footsie (Newham Generals) + Son Of Kick + Pawn [SMOG] + Kelly Dean [SMOG]. We're also giving away a pair of tickets to the show on our upcoming Dank Radio program Awakening  featuring EshOne this Saturday Morning January 5th on KPFK 90.7FM LA // www.kpfk.org WoldWideStream. Tune in from 4am-6am and Call 818 985 5735 for your chance to win...

Skream and Benga present: US Tour [Tour Dates]

Skream and Benga : Official
This is MASSIVE. We've had the extreme opportunity to not only see Skream and Benga perform individually [Check out the video we did for the Skream show @ SMOG 5 Year Anniversary] to a raging crowd of bass heads, but we've also seen them combine forces like Goku and Vegeta to go Super Saiyan 3 on a full warehouse room at HARD Haunted. So when I see Skream's facebook post this morning that him and his stutter bar buddy Benga are returning to the states, AGAIN, I mentally jump up and down like a crazy .sin wav in Massive. Skream and Benga are taking the following musical friends of theirs along with them for the ride: Plastician / SGT Pokes / Jackmaster / Hijak / Artwork [West Coast Dates only] / Alvin Risk [West Coast Dates only]. If they're swinging by your region do whatever you can to see the this tour live. You might want to bring a pair of ear plugs as well since you're bound to have permanent ear damage from the onslaught of lower frequencies.
