MoreTeen Daze, aka the brainchild of Vancouver producer Jamison, brought his extensive discography to the Roxy last Wednesday, subduing fans with his chill-wave tones.

MoreHear a chirp. A buzz. A cricket. Fog. Palms. Green darkness. Erie. This is the jungle. Hear the roar. It’s the roar of the crowd for Glass Animals. Last night English indie psych-pop band, Glass Animals brought their infectious music to Orange County. Their single “Gooey” from last year’s release, Zabba, seems to have taken over the […]

MoreDay two of KAABOO Del Mar featured a diverse string of musical acts, from rock to hip-hop to electronic. One of the interesting things about this festival is how little of the latter two genres it offers. Rodrigo y Gabriela made magic on the main stage with their Spanish guitars, blending flamenco with rock seamlessly. […]
MoreHum Hum was the band of my teenage years. From the first time I heard “Stars,” the single that got them national attention, they were — quite literally — the only band that mattered.
