After suffering an enormous hiphop-deficit in the beach cities, some relief is on the way via Pigeon John. Have you heard of him? He's that clueless, sister-dating, blues-singing, summertime pool-partying rap star from Los Angeles. Yeah that dude with all those dapper duds on. Now you be with it.

So check it, that dude is gonna play that new hotspot The Shore, in Hermosa Beach on June 27th. It's some kinda KRCW Presents type thing, and there'll be other rap stuff too.

Mon 5/8 – The Submarines / Goldspot @ Viper Room ($10) – The Submarines debut album doesn’t come out until 6/20 but you can sample some tracks on their website or on Myspace. The album has call and response boy/girl lyrics about the two singers’ relationship (both the breakup and reunion). The electronic blips call to mind the Stars and some Folk Implosion. Her voice is in the neighborhood of the woman from Mates of State. Goldspot is a big Nic Harcourt band. If you prefer underground rap go see Soul Position at the Echo.

Sample these tracks and let us know what's in your iPod playlist this week.

These OC natives have been touring cross-country—from Tulsa to Minneapolis to Tucson. Their latest CD (which has hints of Tom Petty) reflects that vagabond experience. Limbeck perform at the echo on November 17.

Zack Hexum | Local Rock
Met A Girl Like You [free stream | buy]
You've probably heard Hexum on Fox's OC or perhaps KROQ. His music is polished and radio-friendly, but remains honest enough to keep it believable. You can catch Hexum at Hotel Cafe on November 18.
