Beacon of the Midnight Lamp
Midnight Lamp plays Cafe Boogaloo this Friday, as well as Sunday at Saint Rocke.
“In 2002 we were playing a ton of Hendrix songs… but we weren’t a Hendrix cover band, and didn’t want to be labeled one either… though, there was a relation, so we took the name Midnight Lamp from [the Jimi Hendrix song] ‘Burning of the Midnight Lamp’. As time would reflect, our musical message would be shaped by the purpose of what a Midnight Lamp is: [...]
Remembering The Reason, Spirit of the D-Man Festival
Jeff Vincent, aka Dirty Jeff, of DHR pens a weekly music column titled Dirty Hippie Radio in the Hermosa Beach, Los Angeles County-based newspaper the Easy Reader. However, last week he wrote an extra-special, non-musical, highly personal piece that landed on the cover of Easy Reader’s monthly glossy-color Beach magazine. It was a piercing tribute to Jeff’s best friend, and close friend to Dirty Hippie Radio, who died of cancer several years ago at the age of 24. It’s a [...]

Midnight Lamp in Boogtown Tomorrow
Midnight Lamp is performing in Cafe Boogaloo tomorrow evening at 6:30pm. Be there to help show Boogaloo why it’s still worth booking good shows in their joint. Don’t let the yuppies and robots complete the full transformation to Club Sharkaloo.

Where Has Midnight Lamp Been Hiding?
We haven’t heard anything from the Midnight Lamp in awhile, which makes us sad, but it just popped up on our radar that they’re performing a random show at 6pm, Wednesday evening at Sangria, for St. Patty’s. This is a heavy hitting band that has performed at BB King’s, Saint Rocke, Brixton, and Cafe Boogaloo; and they don’t come around too often. They boast an eclectic stage presence which brings forth a diverse musical force, full of funk, soul, power [...]
