Los Angeles – Just a handful of days after performing to a packed house at the mid-size venue The Fonda Theater, The Shelters took to the much more intimate confines of Bardot, as part of the venue’s School Night series. Instead of opening for a music legend, like the band did as the opening act for Tom
Los Angeles – The Shelters are a band on the precipice of rock stardom. Their debut full-length studio album will be released on June 10 and promises to further the refreshingly relevant alternative rock sounds heard on their previously released EP. Not only do they have a major label recording deal with Warner Brothers Records,
Los Angeles - Andrew Bird has been around the indie rock world for quite some time, but for whatever reason it seems as though he is just now receiving the attention he deserves. The Illinois-born multi-instrumentalist got his start playing violin. While that instrument plays a key role on his records and in his live show, the instrumentation
Los Angeles – Though only over the last eight years or so has Andrew Bird been getting the kind of widespread recognition that his work deserves, he has quietly had an extremely successful career, releasing several of his own solo records, as well as working with his Bowl of Fire project. In addition to that work, Bird’s

Los Angeles - Just a few weeks ago the Troubadour night club hosted one of the biggest comebacks in music history when Axl Rose and Slash performed on stage together for the first time in over two decades. Despite being one of the most heralded guitarists in rock history, just a few days later, The Wild Feathers may have upstaged Slash.
Los Angeles - After original lead singer Daniel Blumberg left Yuck in 2013, many speculated that his departure would cause the band to fold. Instead, the remaining members trudged on to release Glow & Behold in 2013. While it was not poorly received, critics found the energy from the band’s self-titled debut did not carry over with the loss
Los Angeles – Much like the very “search engine unfriendly” name would suggest, Quilt crafts a warm, comforting tapestry of music. Pulling influence from psychedelic rock, krautrock, dream pop, and typical guitar-driven indie rock, the group’s songs sprawl out in all directions, creating a blanket of sound. Despite the fact that Quilt is just now making major
Los Angeles – In the vast range of artists’ popularity (your local garage band being the low point and U2 being the high point), there is a sweet spot right in the middle that bands like The Rubens occupy. These groups are popular enough to bring a dedicated following to every show, giving each performance an exhilarating feeling
Los Angeles – From the moment he burst onto the alternative music scene, Cullen Omori has always been a musician indebted to the sounds and styles of the past. His band Smith Westerns carved out a niche in the crowded garage rock revival scene by infusing glam rock swagger into their sound. The Chicago, Illinois based band was
