HUNGRY BEAT! NEW YEARS - WITH BANDS (SHARK TOYS AND DEAD ANGLE) AND DJS (INCLUDING MARION HODGES OF DUBLAB AND KCRW)!!

Hungry Beat! is back for one last time in 2012. We promise to be around way more next year, but why not start 2013 in the perfect fashion with not only the last Hungry Beat! for this year, but the first one of next year?

You'll hear all of your favorite non-hits from the likes of the Smiths, Orange Juice, Belle & Sebastian, the Pastels, the Vaselines, Kleenex, the Would be Goods, the Monochrome Set... Oh must I go on? Yes! For all the soulies out there cause you know we've got you covered too! The Exciters, The Sapphires, Sunny & the Sunliners, Brenda Holloway, The Isley Brothers, Gloria Jones, etc. to infinity! Plus the usual extra grab bag of ye ye girl, post punk, new wave, and the very occasional rock steady number or two... Double plus, BANDS! Shark Toys and Dead Angle, two of L.A.'s finest beacons in the future of noisy pop music! Let's bring 2013 to life with a roar, (and almost certainly "Rip it Up" on the speakers)

I’ve started to write this review many times, just to get frustrated as to why I am writing about this band in the past tense.

I met Derek, who provided the raw vocals for Sick Secrets, the first time I moved to Seattle. I was 18, and while still not able to go to...
