SiriusXM Octane Presents: Ninth Key with AWAY
The Echo1822 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles 90026
SiriusXM Octane presents Ninth Key at The Echo, with AWAY also on the bill. Ninth Key is the duo of Lø Spirit, Joshua Landry, and hip-hop artist Ekoh. The available listing identifies the pairing but gives no further details on the night's set, guests, or special presentation.
Ninth Key draws on early-2000s nu metal and alternative rock, bringing together massive guitars, cinematic production, vulnerable lyricism and hip-hop influences. The project has quickly made an impact at rock radio: “HAPPY FEELS LIKE” reached the Active Rock Top 10 and spent multiple weeks at No. 1 on SiriusXM Octane's “Big Uns” chart. BMI also reports that the duo had three songs on that countdown simultaneously. Landry and Ekoh's individual careers include platinum-certified records and multiple No. 1 rock-radio songs; their management also notes collaborations with influential modern-rock artists, without naming them.
The Echo’s claim to fame is its track record as a launchpad for Los Angeles artists: its long-running Monday Night Music series helped early acts find an audience. Today it remains an active live-music club in Echo Park, in the upstairs room of a two-venue complex. The stage sits close to a compact general-admission floor, with a bar alongside; most events are standing, though seating may be available first come, first served, depending on the show. On-site food and drinks are available, and the venue recommends checking the individual listing for seating and age rules. Expect a ticketed gig with the crowd gathered around the performance, and room to step outside to the patio between sets. The venue is on Sunset Boulevard, amid Echo Park’s dining options.
