[So your humble blogger had planned to take this week off, but no … too much going on … even tonight … which, by the way, is Evan Way’s birthday, so here’s a shout-out to the head Parson Red Head up in Portland … ]

Top local outing to warm you up for New Year’s Eve:

‣ Jordan Hudock is one of the most talented and entertaining keyboardists on the scene, whether he is tickling the ivories for his own band, Marvelous Toy, or for the band that annexed his talents, the Henry Clay People. Hudock has been hard at work on a new Marvelous Toy album, the rough draft of which sounds pretty marvelous. MT plays tonight at LaBrie’s in Glendale with Manhattan Murder Mystery and College Kids (the new project from Malcolm Sosa of Rademacher, whose music I’ll preview soon).

• ||| Stream: Marvelous Toy, “I Have to Write This Over” (unmastered track)

Also tonight: Project Blowed’s 16th anniversary blowout at the Echoplex, with Freestyle Fellowship, Nocando / Medusa, 2Mex, DiBia$e and more; Greenhorse and Go Motion at the Silverlake Lounge; the Black Beverly Heels at the Redwood; Fat Lip at Dim Mak Tuesdays at Cinespace; and the Ofersures at Saint Rocke in Hermosa Beach.
