Broken Social scene put on quite the show at the Wiltern last Tuesday, October 19th. Opening up for this grandeur ensemble was the atmospheric flowing soundscapes of The Sea and Cake. Check out the photo gallery below! Photos: Ivette Orenos Broken Social Scene The Sea and Cake

Take a second to close your eyes. Now imagine the planet Earth is feeling calm and euphoric as it plays an epic symphony. What would that sound like (insert pause here to follow instructions above)? Okay, now you’re back with me and you have an idea of what I experienced at the Fox Theatre last […]

October has been a month doused with some of the best shows LA and its surrounding areas have seen and The National’s extraordinary performance at the Fox Theatre Pomona last Saturday, October 16, was no exception. Of the many times I’ve seen The National take center stage and move us with their fascinating sound, this […]

Kicking off and extraordinary evening of music with The National being the main course, Owen Pallett (formerly Final Fantasy) was the aural appetizer that set our musical journey into play. This lil Canadian fellow is quite the genius when it comes to conjuring up some majestic sounds on the violin. From the traditional use of […]

Miike Snow returned to LA last Thursday, October 14, 2010 and played to a packed audience at Club Nokia. Most seasoned concert-goers know the tedious feeling of waiting through bad opening bands before the headliner plays. Both MNDR and Mark Ronson & The Business Intl. however, incited the exact opposite feeling. MNDR’s Amanda Warner performed […]

Another outstanding supporting act from Miike Snow’s amazing show last Thursday, October 14th at Club Nokia was Mark Ronson & The Business Intl. Kicking out the dance floor jams alongside supporting act MNDR, Mark Ronson & The Business Intl.’s blend of hip-hop and electro pop really got the crowd moving. Guest rapper, Spank Rock, burst […]

Unlike most shows where concert-goers opt to skip out on the opener, MNDR was an opener not to miss!  Leading lady, Amanda Warner performed synth-laden, disco reminiscent pop songs in front of a colorful projection of […]

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 […]

We all have that friend that doesn’t have the best taste in music. And just because you may have incredible taste in music, doesn’t mean you dislike your friend any less. In fact, you probably hope that some of your selections will rub off on him or her. This past Friday, October 8th at the […]

The glowing afternoon light reflected off the skyscrapers of downtown Austin on Friday, October 8th. Day one of Austin City Limits was perfect festival weather, and the crowd was mellow and friendly. Five minutes in and some random stranger handed me a button that said “Austinite” on it. Given that I’d only moved there a […]
