I’d like to announce that I will be taking a step back with ElektroPR for the time being. After much thought I have decided to focus on another one of my projects called “I Think You’re Rad” for the time being. ElektroPR is not ending, but it will be returning as Betty Elektro Productions and Creative Consulting in the near future. It has been an amazing 2+ years of producing live music shows, running charity events with bands and also running our annual Charity Music & Arts Festival. With that being said my 2015 Charity Music & Art Festival will be postponed until the new transition takes place and with an official name that will be announced next year.
It has been wonderful to have been able to work with many local bands, working with different local music venues and getting to know many of you there. Betty Elektro Productions and Creative Consulting will be coming in 2016 with a similar mission.
I invite all of you to check out my I Think You’re Rad Project that is focusing on the good in Los Angeles and honoring individuals and small organizations that are making a difference in the community. This project will focus on spreading positivity, will also include some community events, a video series and also its own festival. I would appreciate the support on this project when we launch our Kickstarter campaign in a few months to help us get into production and make this a reality.
Starting in Fall 2014 ElektroPR will be transitioning into “Betty Elektro Productions”. Our web address BettyElektroProductions.com is parked and we’re excited about that. We will be providing services to curate live music, live art and a charity/community aspect to your events. Also offering consulting services for social media marketing campaigns. We will still be producing out monthly Back Room Friday Music Nights In Koreatown and we will continue to run our charity events to help the community since that makes us who we are.
*A pricing menu will be posted in the near future and we are happy to customize for your specific needs.
*We will post updates in the next couple of weeks and please come out to the Ktown Night Market on April 18th and 19th – this will be our first large community event that we are curating live music and a live paint artists village for!
With Love,
The ElektroPR Crew-Betty, Emily, Alvin and Heidy ❤

Electric Valentine
The idea of Electric Valentine was born on a rainy November night in London. Chris Qualls and Lauren Baird were on tour working as hired musicians and a long way away from their hometown of Los Angeles. The duo were backstage trying to come up with a name that captured the duality of their upcoming musical project. They were looking for something that touched on the boy versus girl dynamic of the new group. A name that hinted at the combination of menacing electronic beats and catchy pop vocal melodies. When Qualls mentioned that he liked the implications and phonetic ring of the word “Electric”, Lauren immediately countered with the more feminine “Valentine”. ( Short Bio)
Now with over 90,000 digital downloads under their belt, EV is gearing up to release their new album Circuitry, scheduled for release July 16. The duo pushed their songwriting and production to the limit to deliver what is sure to be their biggest and best received record so far. Circuitry features guest appearances from Adrian Young of No Doubt, Street Drum Corps, Jordan Blake of A Skylit Drive and rapper Pete Wilde. The band will be supporting the release with a number of creative new music videos, remixes by top EDM producers and a string of cd release shows and tours, proving they are indeed “a force to be reckoned with in the electronic/indie scene” (Racket Magazine)
A splendid hybridization of rock and electronic music, NODIGGA weaves a tempestuous vision of what it feels like to be alive years from now. Nicholas on the sound of NODIGGA: “The loudspeaker makes the motion. As for the motion, it is an experience of air, the wind. The vibrations already exist. I simply arrange them as necessary.”
Even the Universe came from the most humble beginnings. Explore NODIGGA and engage your tympanic membranes with the power and glory of his sound. An electrosynth odyssey awaits you, traveler…
“Last night’s gem: The Morose Project. Guitarist Samuel Barba fronts this electro-live three piece band that not only made the audience sway, but sent us through bouts of introspection with their entrancing music”-Janet Ramirez of Swamp Monsters Events
Morose is a concept band formed by independent, established producers/dj’s/musicians/teachers/you/me. The soundscape incorporates elements of minimal, techno, and house which reflects a presence through expressive performances and recordings (Short Bio)
Formed in 2010 in a haunted house above the 101 Freeway in Hollywood, CA. Radio Relay League began making songs with instruments of the past and ghosts of the future. They have traveled far and wide to bring you these tasty treats. So lick your chops..its dinner time (Bio)
After a long search for a new intern to help us out with our Clients, we have made a decision that we are very happy about. I would to welcome Alvin Fuentes to the crew and we are looking forward to working with him and expect to see him at some of the shows for our clients and our Charity/Special Events. We felt that Alvin was very passionate about our current bands and is a team player and that is something we really look for when adding to our Elektro-PR family.
Here is some info on Alvin:
Alvin has been around music his whole life his father was a radio DJ and a music producer so he grew up around musicians and radio and TV studios, as a teenager he was involved in the up in coming underground rave and electronic music movement, Alvin has a eclectic taste in music and has seen thousands of shows and he’s always looking forward to discover new music.
