  1. Album Review: The Dead Trees’ WHATWAVE Yes, The Dead Trees are another Los Angeles bred, skinny-jean wearing, moustache-rocking, grunge garage band hitting the local club scenes (I saw them open for The Whigs at The Troubadour back in 2009).  But, this band stays distinct thanks to...
  2. Album Review: RACES, Year of the Witch Los Angeles band RACES is hitting the scene with their first full-length album, Year of the Witch. Formed in 2009, RACES have distinguished themselves through their alternative, orchestral, rolling melodies and awesomely spastic moments of fuzzed-up, garage instrumentals. This LP...

  1. Still Corners and Papercuts Haunt the Late Night Show at Mercury Lounge This past Saturday night was the first time I had to wait in a long line to get into Mercury Lounge. I had just discovered Still Corners (and then fortuitously discovered they had a show here), and had thought of...
  2. Talent at the Troubadour: The Hush with The Modern Drone, Bethpage Black, People by the Sea, thatwasthen, and Satellite Thieves The word of the evening, ladies and gentlemen, is talent.  Last night at the Troubadour, raw talent was apparent in every band that graced the tiny stage, making for an awesomely accurate portrayal of today’s local rock scene.  Six groups...
  3. Deep Dark Robot Rocks The Roxy! Things usually don’t surprise me anymore when I head to a show. The whole no parking situation is indicative that everyone and their mother is getting ready for some onstage insanity, and I usually know what’s coming. I was not...

  3. Album Review: Fleet Foxes’ Helpessness Blues A successful debut record can become both a blessing and a curse for an indie band that is trying to make a name for itself. A praised freshman effort is every musician’s dream, but with that comes an expectation to...
