In case you didn’t know L.A’s hot spot seems to be at The Joint where Emergenza is rolling through with furious talent! Dfunktion had their eye on the prize and moved on to our quarter finals, and Sanctified followed close behind with a melody that had the room shaking. Bringing beats through and through was the band Fresh City weren’t feeling the weight. Solarium had a velocity that was beneath the silence, while Cellar was a bullet proof set of mad fusion. The Highs and Lows were a land of slapdance, and Terminal Dreamland were a ‘breakfist’ of beer. Colares had no unforgiving thoughts in their set, and Velvet Catfish performed a song titled “Scotch & Soda” that won them onto the quarters. Keep a watchful eye for the next few weekends of show which should be note worthy in thee old journal!
