spin cycle presents

Spin Cycle Presents is a Los Angeles-based event promotion company founded by Keith Erickson in 2009. Keith created Spin Cycle out of a need for like-minded folks to perform, network, socialize and grow into the vibrant community it is today.

The Spin Cycle @ TRiP series is a monthly eclectic musical showcase featuring popular bands and up and coming live acts looking for exposure, adding a much-desired Northeast improvisational flavor to the West Side of LA. These shows have quickly built a loyal following and become a central hub for Los Angeles' growing jamband and experimental music community

In addition to this popular music series, Spin Cycle has been involved in other high profile events around the LA area, including everal sold out "Cosmik Playground" superjam concerts (featuring members of Umphrey's McGee, Frank Zappa, String Cheese Incident and Digital Tape Machine), Soulshine Daydream Wellness Festival, Shaky Feelin's seminal Album Release Party at the historic Crest Theatre, Mission 24 (a 24-hour underground music festival), the Shakedown Music Series at the Basement Tavern and the live TV broadcast series Birds of a Feather @ Kulaks Woodshed.

SCP Unplugged @ TRiP feat: Brock Butler, Pete Pidgeon and Gregory Hodges

"SCP Unplugged" is a new series featuring acoustic performances by singer/songwriters and various talented musicians amongst our community. 

Jan 20th, 2018 features 3 different musicians, which will play 45 minute sets each on acoustic Guitar/Vocals. It wouldn't be out of the question to expect special guests or for these musicians to pair up and perform acoustic renditions of covers or originals throughout the evening. 

Then, starting at roughly 11pm, the Gregory Hodges Band will fire up, thus switching gears entirely into an all out electric guitar shred fest. This extended set will feature the same 3 musicians as they take turns singing leads, trading solos and creating improvisational magic the LA Jam, Blues and Jazz communities won't soon forget!

This promises to be the first of many "SCP Unplugged" nights to come, featuring a rotating cast of highly talented musicians.  (LIKE MTV UNPLUGGED, SCP = SPIN CYCLE PRESENTS).

THIS MONTH FEATURES

Brock Butler (Perpetual Groove) 

Pete Pidgeon (FU^K) 

Gregory Hodges (Col. Bruce Hampton)

with the Gregory Hodges Band and very Special Guests!

Dj Williams’ Shots Fired — All Fired Up Series: Sept. 26: Motown on Wax (45-RPM Soul)

Dj Williams’ Shots Fired — All Fired Up Series: Sept. 26: Motown on Wax (45-RPM Soul)

In a first-of-its-kind, groundbreaking, four-part series, Dj Williams’ Shots Fired has partnered with Northern California based medical cannabis company, The Legion of Bloom, and LA’s exclusive Alchemy Lounge and Social Club, for a weekly residency that pairs four nights of live music with four different cannabis strains. Participants will be given a complimentary “Monarch” vape pen courtesy of The Legion of Bloom, featuring a cannabis oil cartridge that Legion of Bloom cultivators have carefully curated to match the evening's musical theme. Limited edition means limited supply - product will be distributed on a first come, first served basis.

Dj Williams Shots Fired will perform four differently themed shows on four consecutive Tuesdays beginning on September 19. While guitarist, Dj Williams, will lead a different lineup each week, the Shots Fired collective includes members of Dave Matthews Band, Slightly Stoopid, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, Greyboy Allstars, Lyric’s Born, Lenny Kravitz, Dr. John and others.

Dj Williams’ Shots Fired — All Fired Up Series:

Sept. 19: Classic ReGrind (Reimagined “hits” of the 80s and 90s)

Sept. 26: Motown on Wax (45-RPM Soul)

October 3: Dabs for Dilla (Putting the J. in your juke joints)

October 10: OG Shots (Live from Over Here)

These special events will be early-evening affairs with no bar on-site; for those interested in drinking during the event, an on-site concierge service is available — BYOB means bring your own bud and booze. A one-day membership to Alchemy Lounge is included with your show ticket, and attendees must be 21+ to enter.

Dj Williams, founder of Shots Fired and guitarist for Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, has brought these alchemical elements together in an open celebration of California culture, following a harrowing 42-day detainment in another country for possession of a tiny amount of cannabis oil. You can read all about it here: http://hightimes.com/news/well-known-guitarist-deported-from-middle-east-for-a-vape-pen/

Let Dj Williams’ Shots Fired get you ALL FIRED UP.
