Vanaprasta has rocked Sunset Strip Music Fest, conquered a residency at the Echo, and rocked out at the infamous CMJ Music Fest in Brooklyn- and it’s no secret why the group is gaining so much recognition recently. Their vintage vocals and eloquently composed tracks offer both an Americana/ 60s rock/ with a bit of an
Street Drum Corps have been taking over the Roxy Tuesday nights and you know that feeling where you really want to forget all the nonsense in your own life and focus on something- ANYTHING- else? This is the show for that. I’m talking blindingly loud percussion capable of causing an LA fault line to shift-
Or, The Whale is a sextet (Alex Robins, Lindsay Garfield, Jesse Hunt, Tim Marcus, Lia Rose, Sean Barnett) making folk and Americana music sound good- a complete country-infused force to be reckoned with. It should be noted I strongly dislike country- but somehow OTW’s genre hybrid is insanely soothing! I was totally roped in by
It’s Monday morning, and let’s face it- most Monday’s blow. Instant Monday fix it- and yes, there is indeed actually a remedy for the entire twenty-four hour time slot. Follow these steps. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.00. 1. Head to your local music shop- or itunes depending on your preference. 2. Very
I first found out about Twilight Sleep when I went to scope out another band at the Viper Room (Useless Keys) and was totally, and quite unexpectedly, blown away by TS. Tracy Marcellino’s vocals are unavoidably entrancing and enchantingly haunting, and even she seemed completely enveloped by the power of TS’ music as she swayed
The Black Angels show last night at the El Rey was completely sold out- and it was no surprise why- the group literally managed to blow everyone’s mind with their sweet psychadelia and heavy retro rock. Now albeit I’m a total sucker for anything that remotely resembles something straight out of the golden age of
I showed up at the Echo last night- not entirely sure of what to expect, but ready to hear some good music. LA Font did NOT disappoint when they graced the stage at ten sharp. Think Nirvana meets the Fratellis with a little Rumspringa similarity. Suffice it to say, they rocked, and I saw why
I have a serious obsession for heading to venues and surprisingly enjoying the whole line up. Last night at the Viper Room KROQ and Showlistla definitely knocked it out of the park. Because I’m not as cool as the other Angelinos I show up early, not fashionably late, hoping to stumble upon some band I
Pegasus Bridge is ripping through UK music charts- and it’s no secret why. Their pop-rock infused with a little electro elements are keeping crowds on their toes- and most definitely unable to hold still during their onstage serenades. As with most great music I found out about PB by accident when a friend of mine
Drowning Pool has been heavily involved in and around the music scene for about ten years now- and it’s no secret why they’ve remained such a hard rock staple. Standing outside the Nokia Theater last night waiting to be ushered in with the rest of the press there was a lot of hushed talk about
