My story with CHAI started a couple of weeks ago at SXSW. In 2015, SXSW was a trampoline for CHAI in the United States, and from then, they have toured around the country. I was aware they were coming to Los Angeles and it was a nice surprise to stumble upon the Volcom Garden show […]

Following the release of their latest record ZAM!, L.A. based Frankie and the Witch Fingers erupted on stage Wednesday night at the Teragram Ballroom. While they were technically opening up for Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, the psyched-out punk-inspired outfit’s slot had a ginormous life of its own. With the Frankie and the Witch Fingers’ undeniable explosive […]

Clavvs overcame obstacles and brought their dark alt-pop to Los Angeles for an amazing set at the Echo this past weekend. Tigercide opened the show with a dark, down tempo crooning.  Their raw simplicity sucked the crowd into a hypnotic state as they swayed to Shexist’s voice.

Kikagaku Moyo, “geometric patterns” in Japanese, took the packed sold out crowd at The Regent on a wild trip Wednesday night. Still riding the waves of October 2018’s Masana Temples, Kikagaku Moyo is in the final home stretch of their North American tour before they do a stint in Europe this summer. “Masana” is a […]

Metric came through Los Angeles last week for an explosive performance at the Hollywood Palladium. The Canadian band are touring in support of their seventh studio album, Art of Doubt.

Friday night and the feeling was so right down town at the Theatre at Ace for a night of musical therapy. Sharon Van Etten sold the beautiful space out to strike us with her matchless talent. Warming up the audience was Nilüfer Yanya. The young musician hails from West London with great presence. I know […]

It’s crazy how much can change in 2-3 years.
