Radio Free Silver Lake Turns One Today

Did you go to The Echo last night?! Jesus, I swear it was a night of my favorite performances yet by The Movies, The Western States Motel, and The Airborne Toxic Event, as the latter finished up the final night of their March residency there. (Here are some pics detailing all of the madness.)

Radio Free Silver Lake celebrates its one-year birthday today, and we here at the site have been really ecstatic about spending the last twelve months covering LA's fantastic music scene -- last night being an absolutely perfect example of it.

We've heard some great bands, met some amazing people, and just generally had an excellent time of it. Thanks to all of the local artists and readers for your continued support.

We're having a birthday party at tonight's Let's Independent! event at Boardner's of Hollywood tonight -- and The Lights From Here, The Happy Hollows, and The Deadly Syndrome are all playing. (You can hear tracks from all three bands and get all the details here.)

It really should be more fun than anything... We sincerely hope you can make it.

Here are some videos from The Deadly Syndrome and The Happy Hollows to put you "in the mood" or something.
