Pirate Stereo opens for La Roux - Los Angeles

Since my arrival in Los Angeles, I have not been able to stop hustling. In my 2 months in the city of angels, I have learned that this industry is all about hard work, persistence and attitude. I am currently interning in the Talent Buying division at Goldenvoice / AEG Live (Concert Promoters).

In Berklee on Tour, SXSW

Below, Jordan Tarrant at Off the Record: Berklee’s Unofficial SXSW Showcase at Lucky Lounge:

So this year, thanks so some very generous people, we were able to throw two parties at SXSW. The first, yesterday at Lucky Lounge, was a great success, with a killer lineup of Berklee students and alumni: Amber Rubarth, Jordan Tarrant, Nini & Ben, Merry Go Round, Ann Driscoll (check out her performance), A House A Home, and Melissa Ferrick. We’ll be posting more video and pics as we go. Now we’re up and off to our second party of the week at Friends, where we get to hear Ann, Jordan, and Nini & Ben again, plus Audible Mainframe, The Young Republic, Stefan WM, Love Like Fire, and Shayna Zaid & The Catch. Stay tuned!
