Ok this is just outside of Echo Park but many residents could still walk here so I’m going to give it a mention. If you are looking for something new this Wednesday you might be interested in a party at Dinner House M. The website for the Japanese Pub doesn’t say much but you can read their yelp reviews. The place doesn’t seem recession friendly ($$$$ on yelp) but if you like your parties to go after hours this spot may interest you. This is going to be an ongoing party every Wednesday so if you go please leave some comments here to let other locals know whether to play or pass on this one.
Here are a sampling of event flyers for this weekend. The post would be very long so I’ve split it up. Click the link below to see the rest. Have a good weekend!
If L’Keg reopens after the fire damage caused by last nights fire at TiGeorge’s chicken here is what to expect. Hopefully both of these Echo Park businesses will be able to bounce back quickly after the tragedy.

What are you doing tonight?
At Echo Curio:
Tues, Feb 16th – CHEESE ON BREAD + ROYALCHORD + BIG WHUP
CHEESE ON BREAD has been described as Joan Baez and Raffi singing about
sucking cock. Others claim that listening to it will lead to a deadly joygasm. We just
know that it is gonna be fun, fun fun. Joining them is Australia’s royalchord, all
lower case on purpose, to understate the amazing lo-fi majesty you are going to
experience. I can’t say enough how many amazing travelling bands come through
here and how much you should try to see them as often as possible, cuz this
makes our big world that much smaller and friendlier. And not to ignore our
amazing local bands too, we’ve just added the always challenging and yet deeply
satisfying three ring circus of rock, BIG WHUP. Easily the smartest night of rock we’
ve ever had!!!www.cheeseonbread.com

NICK DEWITT) + JOSH KLINGHOFFER + BLACK CHURCHOk, tonight is yet another of the increasingly insanely amazing nights curated by
Mr. DAVID SCOTT STONE , and while he is not presenting one of his amazing solo
performance, he is performing with the infamous PETER WEISS (of Thelonious
Monster fame) who is presenting musical poetry along with an all star band.
Recent Red Hot Chili Pepper addition, JOSH KLINGHOFFER is gonna present an
undetermined solo set as well, and we’re pretty excited for that too. And local
looper BLACK CHURCH holds mass for us as well… remember these nights start

“Machine: Subject/Object/Project”, an installation by Nate Page, will be open all month from Feb 6th – March 5th, 2010. It’s rare that there’s a show up at Machine you can just stop by and see, and even rarer that it involves a giant chair made out of folding tables, so be sure to come visit. Open every weekend in February from 12-4pm, or even more reliably, by appointment.
At Machine Project on Sunday Feb 14th at 12pm is the second show in our February music residency by Nowcloud. Happening in and around Nate Page’s installation, these performances feature Max Markowitz and Corey Fogel as well as snacks. Free.
wild Up music collective is, in their own words, “a modern music collective, comprised of young Los Angeles area musicians, committed to creating eclectic, vibrant art.”
Tonight they will do just that at Jensen’s Recreation Center (1710 Sunset), one of Echo Park’s coolest historic landmarks. The concert, entitled I See It Coming: songs after Radiohead, will include musical masterworks from the last two and a half centuries. It begins with Bach’s “Brandenburg Concerto No. 3” and ends with songs from Radiohead’s “In Rainbows.”
I’m actually a little sad that I already have plans for tonight because this concert looks as though it’s going to be really rad.
Tonight (Friday, February 5) at 8 pm. Tickets available at the door. $15 for students and $20 general admission.
