After a full week to mentally process the breathtaking spectacle that was HARD Day of the Dead festival, as well as to catch up on a substantial amount of lost sleep, the best way to describe what was in many ways an indescribable (“you just had to be there”) event Read more…
(Guest Review by Dani Chavez) Newbury Park natives The Neighbourhood brought out all the tricks and acts for the sold-out closing night of their headlining tour, “The Circus,” at the Majestic Ventura Theatre.

His name is GRiZ, and don’t you forget it, because it’s likely someone you will be hearing a lot more about in the near future. GRiZ, real name Grant Kwiecinski, definitely got an infusion of that local Motown mojo while growing up in Detroit, which he put to good use Read more…
