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!
