Some people were meant for the stage, and fun.’s vocalist Nate Ruess proved this statement on Friday night during the band’s first of three sold-out shows at L.A.’s iconic venue, The Wiltern. Though fun. is a relatively new band, releasing its debut album (Aim And Ignite) a mere three years ago, Ruess is no stranger
I have seen Races perform a number of times, and though the Los Angeles-based sextet always blows me away, I have never seen it play like it did Thursday night.

Since then, the two-piece trekked up north to New York to work with famed producer Nicolas Venhes (Dirty Projectors, Deerhunter, Spoon) and is gearing up for the release of
Generally, bluegrass-tinged folk music is not something I’d consider dance worthy, but after watching Southeast Engine perform at Los Angeles’ Bootleg Bar on Tuesday night, I may have to reconsider. The Ohio-based quartet revved up its audience as soon as it hit the stage. Led by brothers Adam and Jesse Remnant on vocals/guitar and bass,
San Francisco-based electronic artist Mikey Maramag has been releasing music under the moniker Blackbird Blackbird since 2010 and yesterday announced his signing with Lavish Habits Records Under his new label, Maramag plans to release a new EP entitled Boracay Planet.

Milo Greene is not a real person. He is a fictitious manager/booking agent that three struggling musicians and college classmates created to help effectively promote their individual endeavors. Those three friends were Andrew Heringer, Robbie Arnett and Marlana Sheetz, and years later, when the three-piece finally decided to write music together, they found it appropriate
