Getting the party started right for Culture Collide weekend, the Echoplex hosted three incredible performances this past Thursday. MØ, De Lux and Holychild all took the stage and absolutely killed it. Headlining the evening was the sultry Danish song-bird, MØ (aka Karen Marie Ørsted). With a powerful performance, the crowd was treated to songs from […]

Back for it’s 5th year (but no longer with FILTER), Culture Collide has announced its 2014 lineup. Taking place October 16 – 18 across various Echo Park venues, Cloud Nothings are set to headline the three-day music festival. Joining Cloud Nothings are a surplus of up-and-coming bands from all over the world: Nina Persson (Sweden), […]

Iceage headlined the Echo this past Thursday kickstarting the Culture Collide Festival happening all over Echo Park. I was excited to see Denmark’s post-punk band, Iceage, unfortunately technology failed and cut their set short. There was disappointment and frustration among band members and their fans. The band is not to be blamed, they started their set with […]

The Deer Tracks at One Eyed Gypsy – Photo: Will Tee Yang So, Filter Magazine’s annual Culture Collide festival kicked of yesterday with performances by Iceage, Fuck Buttons and more (stay tuned for our photo gallery), but this weekend is where the hurricane of bands hits East Hollywood. From TAIX to Lot 1, the Echo/Echoplex […]

FILTER Magazine’s Culture Collide is back and their line-up is looking hot. We had announced earlier, a show at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena with Phoenix and Dinosaur Jr — well guess what, the odd pairing is also headlining this year’s Culture Collide festival. It makes sense for the two completely opposite bands to headline […]

The second annual Filter Magazine’s Culture Collide Festival came and went with a bang. With five nights of some of the best International indie bands taking refuge all over Los Angeles’ East side venues, Angelinos had a field day taking in all the music. We have plenty of photos of the bands and fans. Take […]

The first time we ever saw the popular indie sweethearts, Jenny and Johnny was at the FILTER Culture Collide Festival back in October. I’ve always been a fan of Jenny Lewis and Rilo Kiley and I was excited about her latest act, Jenny and Johnny (with her beau, Johnathan Rice). As always, Lewis was adorable […]

As part of Filter Magazine’s Culture Collide Festival, The Besnard Lakes put on a hell of a show this past Friday, October 8th at the Echoplex. Unlike their Montreal cohorts Land of Talk, The Besnard Lakes were anything but boring. With front-man Jace Lasek, reviving everything that made the late 60s and early 70s so damn […]

I’m not the biggest fan of the Klaxons and from the looks of the crowd reaction at the Echoplex this past Friday, October 8th for Filter Magazine’s Culture Collide Festival, neither were too many of the people in the audience. Although the Klaxons seemed to have played a pretty good show (for that “nu-rave” style […]
