The Big Pink is by far one of my favorite bands of 2009. Debut and overall. Their song “Velvet” has just done it for me all month, on a couple levels. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OA3twi3iSNQ]

I still don’t know why Eels has yet to blow up and gain more recognition! Already gracing our list for the Top 10 Albums for the First Half of 2009, you best believe their album “Hombre Logo” will be on our “Top 20 Albums of 2009” next week. Such amazing lyrics and you gotta love […]

Philly’s Cold Cave played a beautiful show of experimental synth pop and electro beats this past Sunday at The Echo.

Through distorted vocals as well as catchy hooks, […]

Sweden’s hottest electro, soul lovin’ outfit, Little Dragon, played a sold-out show this past Friday, Dec. 4 at the El Rey Theatre. The venue was packed with a variety of music lovers who came to hear and watch Little Dragon’s highly anticipated set.  As the crowd swaggered in a sexy groove to the sultry voice […]

Don’t be scerred of the “teaches of Peaches.” For those of you that have yet to check out the amazing shots we got of Peaches live at the Wiltern last Saturday, I suggest you take a peep. You just might be one of the fortunate (or not so fortunate) fans she either: sprayed champagne on, […]

Wow. How have I not caught on to this stellar band until Wednesday, Nov. 21 at the Henry Fonda Theatre? The XX is a beautiful mixture of sexy, delicate and sensual music — a lil bittersweet and at times arousing. Opening up for Friendly Fires, it was pretty evident that at least half the crowd there […]

Damn this chick’s got the loveliest pipes!

2009 has brought out some pretty killer new bands! Amongst the hottest of these crowd pleasers, are London’s, The Big Pink.

Well, well, The Bravery … touché! This is one cool video and song, and it’s not too sugar coated on the poppy electro treats either. Their new video for their song “Sugar Pill,” is pretty dark and weird. I like. Directed by the band’s bass player Mike Hindert, the same person who directed the band’s […]

Touring in support of their new album, “In & Out of Control,” The Raveonettes played a smokin’ show this past Friday, Nov. 13 the Henry Fonda Theatre.

Is it bad that I kinda thought this news was pretty cool? I dunno, it’s just so damn old-school rockstar steez. Have you seen a King Khan & BBQ Show? These guys tear it up in the wildest, dirtiest garge manner. Apparently the band was arrested yesterday in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. The tour manager remains in […]

It’s been so long, I almost forgot about these dance-a-licious indie rockers from Vancouver. Well enough is enough, Hot Hot Heat won’t be denying us of their tantalizing sound any longer.
