Reel To Reel: Born Innocent: The Redd Kross Story
2025-02-18 18:00 - 22:00 | Grammy Museum, 800 W Olympic Blvd, Los Angeles, CA, 90015, United States
MODERATED BY KCRW DJ ANNE LITT
The GRAMMY Museum is thrilled to host a special screening of Born Innocent: The Redd Kross Story followed by a post-screening panel discussion with filmmaker Andrew Reich, Redd Kross singer/guitarist Jeff McDonald, and Redd Kross singer/bassist Steven McDonald about the creative process behind the film.
Born Innocent makes the case for Redd Kross as the seminal West Coast band of the last half century. Formed in 1978 by brothers Jeff and Steve McDonald, and still actively playing and recording today, Redd Kross are the ultimate rock and roll lifers. They have influenced independent music in ways that beg to be acknowledged. From inventing Beach Punk to influencing the Grunge and Hair Metal movements, Redd Kross have maintained the highest level of musical integrity, originality and quality for over forty years. They are the underappreciated link between countless threads of Los Angeles rock. The band that connects Black Flag to The Partridge Family, The Runaways to The Cowsills Seeds, The Go-Go’s to The Red Hot Chili Peppers. Born Innocent will introduce a wider audience to two of the coolest people alive. The McDonald Brothers embody Southern California, rock and roll, and what it means to be an artist.
Telling the story of Jeff and Steve McDonald is a way of telling the story of Los Angeles from the late 70’s onwards. As the band was beginning in their garage, their neighborhood was being razed all around them to make way for one of the freeways that accompanied Los Angeles’s expanding population. That was just the first of the transformations they lived through. They have seen many versions of Los Angeles come and go, and they have incredible stories to tell from each one, with their Zelig-like ability to always be at the cutting edge of where the action was. Unlike other famous, feuding brother teams like Ray and Dave Davies of The Kinks, or Noel and Liam Gallagher of Oasis, Jeff and Steve have kept their collaboration going for four decades. That doesn’t mean it’s all been smooth sailing. Early on, Jeff saw a selling point in having his pre-teen brother as bass player in the band. But his success at breaking into the burgeoning punk scene inadvertently led to Steve being abducted at age 12 by a 24 year old woman he was sexually involved with. The interviews with Jeff and Steve in Born Innocent have them examine their past in a way they haven’t previously. Jeff has often been the creative visionary, pulling Steve along wherever that vision has led. Steve, the younger brother, has had to be the responsible one, keeping the band on course through countless lineup changes. The film tracks how the band has managed and made use of those tensions.

What’s New Pussycat – The Tom Jones Legacy
2025-02-22 20:00 - 23:00 | Torrance Cultural Arts Center, 3330 Civic Center Drive, Torrance, CA, 90503, United States
What’s New Pussycat – The Tom Jones Legacy has garnered acclaim from audiences and critics alike. Tino Macchia, the show’s creator and performer has been touring to over 30 years, singing the great classics of pop and the American Songbook… but always found his true passion when performing the songs of the ultimate showman, Sir Tom Jones.
Growing up in a household where Tom Jones music was playing all the time, his influence helped create Tino’s vocal sound; Tom was his early vocal teacher.
When Tino performs his songs, he is not trying to look like Tom Jones or imitate his voice; he naturally sounds like Tom Jones and captures his essence. “I give the audience my love of Sir Tom Jones and my passion about the man as an artist”.

Waterfront Ultra
2025-04-26 | Project Barley Taps and Grill, 136 International Boardwalk, Redondo Beach, CA, 90277, United States
About this event

On April 26th, 2025 we will be hosting our second annual Waterfront Ultra Charity Race at Project Barley Waterfront in Redondo Beach, CA. The idea for our event was inspired by the world famous Backyard Ultra Championships created by Lazarus Lake (https://backyardultra.com). After following this event for a number of years, we thought it would be a fun idea to not only try it ourselves, but also be of service to our community in the process. Here’s how it works.
Every hour on the hour, racers are required to step up to the starting line and proceed to run 4.167 miles. The race continues every hour until the final hour where it becomes a race for time. Simple! Athletes can choose to compete in either a 50 Mile, 12 hour or a 25 Mile, 6 hour version of the race and will be allowed to use our designated rest area in the Project Barley Annex while waiting for the next hour to start. Fair warning, while this area is large enough to hold everyone, it is not large enough for everyone to lay down while all athletes are still in the race. Be kind to your fellow racer.
Check out the Backyard Ultra Documentary, Just One More Lap, on YouTube for a better look at what a Backyard Ultra is all about. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRXKZSqvtrw)
The Project Barley Waterfront side will be open to the public all day for family and spectators to hang and enjoy live music, good food, and a fun hang. Public restrooms are located next door to the location.
We are limiting this year’s event to 100 racers. General entry is $50 (plus fee). All proceeds will be donated to Cancer Support Community South Bay. Race day shirt included with all entries.
This year’s Waterfront Ultra is designed to be a fun get together of like minded individuals who enjoy fitness, a good hang, and giving back to the community. This is not a city sponsored event so please respect the local community as if this were your own backyard. Whether you run one lap or you go all day, this race is for you to find your own limits. We can’t wait to see everyone on race day!
