Vicious Vicious "I Think We've Got a Situation" Listening Party
Our pal Vicious Vicious aka Erik Appelwick is releasing a new record and we’re hosting a listening party to kick it off.
Join us for a first listen to the new Vicious Vicious record, “I Think We’ve Got a Situation.” Erik will take over the turntables from 7-10 and the new record will play right at 8pm. Expect some of his favorite selections from his personal album collection on either side of that. Copies of the limited edition vinyl will be available for the first time as well.
Some more info about the record from the man himself:
Erik Appelwick’s alter ego, Vicious Vicious, is back with their 8th album: I Think We’ve Got a Situation. Inspired by 90’s and 00’s indie pop / rock, the album is replete with bouncy beats and rhythms designed meticulously for shoulders and hips supporting a lyrical narrative of futurism, time travel, lost love. . . and sharks.

NEW YEARS EVE PARTY W/ GUEST Dj Your Smith
Help us ring in the New Year in style with plenty of Chamagne, caviar and our pal, special guest DJ Your Smith!
Minneapolis native Your Smith (aka Caroline Smith) relocated to Los Angeles after signing to Pulse Recording (DRAM, Miike Snow, Gallant, et. al). Inspired by the history of Laurel Canyon and moving through the city that’s been immortalized in music throughout the ages, Smith concocted her own sound, bringing together funk / R&B “Minneapolis Sounds” of her roots and the classic songwriting of her folk heroes.
Smith released her debut EP, Bad Habit, in August 2019 on Neon Gold Records (HAIM, Christine & The Queens, et. al) and concluded a US headline tour in September followed by international dates supporting RHYE. Your Smith’s latest release Wild Wild Woman was launched in the fall of 2019. The EP was followed by her first headlining tour selling out shows across the country.
FIRST SUNDAY SERVICE
We’re open on Sundays! We’ll be pulling corks on special and large format wines, trying new wines by the glass, welcoming guest somm pop-ins and running industry specials. Take refuge this winter in our intimate space with friends and a casual vibe.
GUEST SELECTOR FRANK LYON
Frank Lyon is a multidisciplinary artist living in Los Angeles who loves to play all kinds of records. He is especially interested in advancing the core principles of balearic selecting from their heavenly origins in Ibiza towards everyday experiences in postmodern America and the World. If it sounds heady, it's not; this is about music that touches the heart and tells a bigger and better story when we ignore the surface of genre in favor of the embedded soul's strange and beautiful guiding light.
THE BEST WINES W/ SOTOLON SELECTIONS
Join us for the first in our series and likely the most suited to this format, a category of wines with such a distinct character, that an entire portfolio was dedicated to them using the chemical compound they all share, sotolon. Sotolon Selections is a unique portfolio focusing primarily on historic categories of aged, and oxidative wine. In both process and expression, these represent links to some of our oldest winemaking traditions, their lineage extending back to the wines most prized by the ancient Greeks and Romans.
