A couple of months ago, I saw a teenaged rock duo called Regrettes open up for Kate Nash at the Echo and was surprised at how competent and legitimate they were – even more-so after learning they were just fourteen years old. A gimmick guitarist Lydia Night and drummer Marlhy Murphy definitely are not. A […]

  It’s less than two minutes and looks like it was shot on an iPhone, but there is a humble beauty to Girlpool’s simple new video for “Pretty.” Directed by Allyssa Yohana, Harmony Tividad, and Cleo Tucker, the video has an eerie feel. The lulling tone of the song is complemented by the out of […]

After monitoring all the FYF coverage this last weekend, I grew more and more excited to see UK post-punk band, Savages. Everything I read mentioned how the four-piece was one of the major highlights of the festival and it excited me even more to be able to see them in such a small venue like […]

Fans were excited to see hometown duo, Girlpool, who were up first at FYF Fest just minutes after the gates opened Sunday.

As they did girls suddenly started running and skipping toward the stage smiling and singing along, “tranquilize […]

Alison Mosshart of The Kills As I walked up to the El Rey Theatre last night, excitement was in the air for The Kills’ highly anticipated performance.

The Mud Howlers Thursday night, The Satellite played host to a bill that featured a couple up-and-coming bands with different styles. Kicking things off was LA-based trio Flames of Durga, the brainchild of identical sisters Cecilia and Beah Romero along with drummer Nate Million. If you’re a fan of fellow LA-rockers Deap Vally, this band […]

After covering L7’s fierce reunion show last May at The Echo, we had to get another dose of the metal goddesses with their back-to-back gigs at the Fonda Theatre.

The new song comes from […]

In true punk form, Sharkmuffin’s new song “First Date” clocks in at a minute and some change. The spitfire Brooklyn duo composed of Tarra Thiessen (guitar/vocals) and Natalie Kirch (bass/vocals) are joined by the pummeling drums of Patty Schemel (Hole, Upset, Death Valley Girls.). The jangly punk number fires through with sassy vocals and a driving baseline as […]

The super charismatic and totally relatable, Courtney Barnett just finished up two back-to-back sold out shows this weekend at The Roxy. The Melbourne singer/songwriter has certainly made a name for herself over these last couple years and it doesn’t look she’ll be leveling out anytime soon. While people weren’t lining up for hours to get […]

Playing their first show in 14 years, the newly reunited veteran grunge riot grrrls, L7, played to a VERY sold out Echo last night. With fans lining up hours since 2pm, this was most definitely the show to be at. It was nice to see Donita Sparks come out and say hi to all the early […]

Ex Hex letting it “Rips” at The Roxy Who says girls can’t rock (said nobody ever)? I mean come on, they just wanna have fun. And fun they had last night at the famed Roxy Theater on the Sunset Strip. Unfortunately, Cindy Lauper wasn’t in attendance, yet a full crowd came out to watch the […]

Just barely over a year ago I saw Los Angeles hard rock warriors Dead Sara make a ferocious and monumental return to the stage and so the bar was set very high, along with my hopes, that their sold-out show at The Troubadour last night would live up to my sky-high expectations. Thank heavens, it […]
