Last night, Grimy Goods got weird at the Viper Room with Brent Amaker and The Rodeo. Clad in all white with Zorro masks, cowboys hats and boots to match — Brent Amaker and the Rodeo brought on their alt country infused experimental rock for all to enjoy. Playing songs from their new album, Year of The Dragon, […]

Brent Amaker and The Rodeo is country music for those that aren’t into traditional country. Their upcoming full length Year of The Dragon, is honest, weird and comical — and at times sweet, and that’s exactly what we love about it. While listening to their new album, you can’t help but take most of their […]

From his earliest recordings in the 1990s as a founding member of Uncle Tupelo, Jay Farrar has been a keen observer of the American landscape: its beauties and its tragedies, salvations and poisons. With almost two-decades as the leader of Son Volt (as well as impressive turns as an acclaimed solo artist and collaborator) Farrar’s […]

I feel that it’s safe to say this residency has become a staple in kicking off the new year in the local Los Angeles music scene, and it’s quickly becoming an annual tradition. The event draws in the […]

Photo: The Damn Sons by Craig Parker From the moment we heard the Damn Sons five-song self-titled EP we were instantly hooked to their edgy and grimy alt country rhythms. Not to mention, front-man Travis Schneider has a badass vocal swagger. We dug these dudes so much that we asked them to play one of […]

Hide your beer and sandwiches, our favorite bad girls are headed to Silver Lake! Those Darlins have booked a show at the Satellite on Tuesday, April 19, 2011.

One of our favorite femme fatale bands, Those Darlins, have revealed the sexy new cover art for their upcoming 7″ out tomorrow, Tuesday, January 25. Designed by Veta & Theo, I think the work is pretty damn sexy and wild, just like Those Darlins. The gals have a butt-load of tour dates coming up this […]

As the title would suggest, Deer Tick’s “More Fuel for the Fire” EP tops off an explosive 2009 for the band that released Rolling Stone’s “country-rock breakthrough of the year” nine months earlier. Taken mostly from a month-long recording session in upstate New York nicknamed “The Black Dirt Sessions”, “More Fuel for the Fire” features […]

“If you don’t want a wild one, quit hanging ’round with me, you knew right from the start that’s my personality, if you can’t handle crazy, go ahead and leave, if you don’t want a wild one, quit hanging ’round with me.” Those Darlins could not have said it any better with the sassy lyrics […]

Elvis Costello teams up with buddy T-Bone Burnett on his first release for the Starbucks music label (yes you read correctly). “Secret, Profane & Sugarcane” is uh, a bit Starbucksy, which isn’t a bad thing (in terms of music). With the two being amazing singer/song writers/guitarists the album has great lyrics as expected. It has […]

Those Darlins could not have said it better. “Wild One” is my new anthem. To all my potential suitors (if any), take this song as somewhat a warning. And to all you beautiful ladies who live lives that others dream of, free spirits, enjoying life to the fullest, even if you hit the end of […]
