Despite her recent single, “I’m Lost,” Elohim has never felt more on course. The songwriter is reliable for compelling indietronica, and she always delivers something different, from heart-wrenching ballads to haunting dance parties. Her latest track shows her vulnerability and optimism, layered over a groove that will draw you out of your seat. Listen to […]

Dark electronic duo Rituals of Mine is fresh off a tour with Garbage and they have immediately hit the pavement since settling back in. They are in the middle of writing a sophomore LP to follow up their acclaimed debut, Devoted, and they have no plans to stop performing. New dates in San Francisco and […]

Chromatics fans got another promising taste of the band’s forthcoming album, Dear Tommy, with the release of “Blue Girl.” This is particularly exciting because the record had originally been announced in 2014, but Johnny Jewel infamously destroyed what they had been working on and re-did it front to back. Apparently though, there will be no […]

You may remember that sunny day in 2014 when Loyola Marymount’s college radio station, KXLU, held its first annual music festival; Grimy Goods was there to capture the magic. Now the station is back with their fourth installment, happening at LMU’s Lawton Plaza this Sunday, March 18th! The lineup features performances from local artists: MNDSGN, Band Aparte, Sextile, Wild Wing, […]

I apologize in advance to anyone who is just learning about autonomous sensory meridian response from this piece. Once you start looking up examples of it on YouTube, you’ll never escape the black hole. The sensation is inexplicably pleasurable, described on Wikipedia as being “low-grade euphoria,” brought on by soft stimuli, such as whispers or […]

They say that music is a universal language, and that could not be more true for today’s album premiere. Hailing from Thessaloniki, Greece, the artist and composer May Roosevelt began as a violinist when she was 12 years old, but eventually picked up the theremin, which she has since mastered. While it is one of […]

After the closing of London’s Fabric nightclub, I momentarily questioned the city’s dance music scene. Was this the first domino to fall? Scandals relating to drug abuse are sadly not rare, though shutting the venue down abruptly wasn’t the answer. Of course, looking back I was foolish to react with such pessimism; thanks to the […]

Milky Chance are a brilliant two-man band from Germany, and we were able to catch them live this past Monday at the Troubadour in West Hollywood. This is the duo’s first tour and I don’t think they were expecting L.A. fans to be so welcoming. Known for being a crowd that is to-cool-to-get-into-it, the Los Angeles […]

Formed in 1989, Germany’s The Notwist brought their unique blend of experimental indie rock to the Fonda Theatre this past Sunday. With a wide array of genres etched in their catalog, The Notwist dabbled in everything from dark rock/metal to jazz-electro, and more recently digging deep into an indie-electronic sound with their 2014 album Close to the […]

It seems like a lot more French musicians are coming out of the woodwork and making their way to Los Angeles to perform some pretty epic shows, and we’re loving it!

Purity Ring just played two outstanding sold-out shows at the Fonda Theatre in Hollywood and we were there on Tuesday for all their mystical beats. The Canadian duo composed of Megan James (vocals) and Corin Roddick (instrumentals), blew minds at this show, not only with their unique sound, but their stage presence and set-up is always quite […]

The infamous Swedish electronic dance music (EDM) trio, Swedish House Mafia take over the Los Angeles State Historic Park for a two-day EDM event sure to go down in history.

We don’t post every show that’s going on every night (in or around L.A.) we just post the goods according to our collective knowledge.

This is going to be a dope show full of insane beats and production! Tickets to Flying Lotus at […]

Bravo I say, bravo. Morgan Z stand up and take a bow. Coming at you with his new album, Elemental Themes via Stones Throw — this one-man-band, from the Valley (yes, the valley), is a powerhouse of fantastic creative waves of sound. I am not one to usually love, praise or seek indulgence in the roomy genre […]
