   About Jacaranda
They’ll make ya wanna move. They’ll make ya wanna groove. They’ll make ya wanna get funky. Jacaranda is “All Sides of Rock,” the ménage a tois of rock, funk and all that lies between. Jacaranda has been entertaining the masses throughout Los Angeles and Orange County for nearly six years, dishing out their particular fusion of music, humor and socio-political commentary. Jacaranda will make you laugh, cry, shake yo booty and feel alive, man, just so alive. The band has been featured in Atomic Basement’s independent comic books Mac Afro and Gone South (for which it wrote the theme songs), as well as the LA Greens compilation CD, a disc put together to raise funds for the Green Party in 2003. On April 27th of 2004, they released Falling for Bad Girls, the follow up to their debut album, Treehouse of Funk.

Hey, Jacaranda,
Greetings from a band of rock n' roll astronauts for peace.
Thanks for letting us land our eco-friendly spaceship on this positive planet of energetic rock, and for visiting dreamland11, our launchpad of social justice, activism, and rock.
Peace and friendship,

Hey,
Shawn & Kevin from LA's Rock cover band 'Forever Vinyl' are hosting an Open Mike Night at Venice Bistro every Wednesday (except May 21 and 28) 5:30-10pm. It's right on the Venice boardwalk. Tons of foot traffic. Why don't you and anyone other musicians you know come on down and play a few songs? You can do originals or covers and each musician will get 2-3 songs, unless we have time for more. We have PA, mikes, electric piano, acoustic guitar, acoustic bass, and percussion. This is going to be a forum for musicians to play, promote shows, give away/sell cd's and to network with other local musicians. This will be lots of fun. No cover. ALso we have one in Santa Clarita every other Tuesday @ It's A Grind Coffee beginning May 6th 6-8:30 pm. Contact me if you have any questions.

Venice Bistro (Every Wednesday 5:30-10pm)
323 Ocean Front Walk
Venice, Ca
