Katrina Nattress

For as long as she can remember (and probably before then), Katrina has been a music addict. Raised attending concerts and listening to records with her father in Portland, Oregon, there was no question as to what the little audiophile would be when she grew up—a music journalist.

She now spends her days basking in the sun of the city of angels, keeping Amoeba Records in healthy business, and watching live music every chance she gets.

That mood and feeling the rain produces in some is an excellent tool, not to mention the excuse to stay inside the studio and write/record while hiding from Mother Nature. Portland’s...
  Growing up in Los Angeles can lead to many connections in the entertainment industry. In singer-songwriter Sophie Stern’s case, they directed her to projects with Britney Spears, Shwayze, Cisco and Kendrick Lamar. And though these are hefty collaboration projects, Stern decided to start her own band. While attending Berklee, she met David Green...
  Los Angeles' Bootleg Bar could not have chosen a better time to host a Monday night residency with Hunter Hunted. The Los Angeles-based duo of Dan Chang and Michael Garner made their television debut on Conan last week, and by Monday night the buzz had spread like wildfire across the city, alluring a large crowd to the intimate venue.
