The Midnight Juggernauts set sail from Austrailia to deliver us an impressive show at The Roxy in Hollywood on Monday, Oct.26. The three handsome blokes banged out their usual psychedelic – electronica infused rock. Their music has always had a lil bit of a cheezy, disco 70’s element to it that I can’t get enough […]

San Jose-based psych/soul sextet, The Mumlers, played a kick-ass show this past Sunday at the Echoplex. Currently touring for their new album, “Don’t Throw Me Away,” the new release displays their multi-instrumental talent as well as their lyrical inventiveness. The Mumlers have absorbed 20th Century classic American music styles and morphed them into their own […]

The Ettes played with Juliette and The Licks this past Saturday at the El Rey Theatre.  If you don’t know who The Ettes are, you best get on it and check their shit out! They’re one of the best female fronted bands out there and have a chick drummer who is actually hot (not butch)! […]

Fitting their 50’s style dream-pop infused with swirls of fuzzy psychedelia, I couldn’t think of a more suitable venue for The Postmarks to kick off their tour in celebration of their new album “Memoirs at the End of the World.” Although front woman Tim Yehezkely may carry the name of a male, there’s absolutely nothing […]

In support of their September 29 release “Broken Lights,” Brookville joins Unfiltered Records labelmates, The Postmarks, on a five week tour US tour. Opening up for The Postmarks this past Friday, Oct. 2 at Spaceland, Brookville played a totally engaging and at times comical set. When I first took a listen to Brookville’s new album […]

When I first got a hold of Swedish songstress, Anna Ternheim‘s new album “Leaving On A Mayday,” I though she had an exquisite, delicate voice that flowed so smoothly with the soothing aural landscapes of “Leaving On A Mayday.” Last Thursday, Oct. 1st she played a show at the Troubadour with Asobi Seksu and Swedish […]

Two man bands seem to be all the hype of the late, but only a few select performers can pull it off. In the case of Brooklyn duo, Asobi Seksu, they played a high-energy show last Thursday at the Troubador, alongside Anna Ternheim and Loney, Dear. I wouldn’t quite call them a duo though. And […]

Holy shit! Did your mic stand just hit me!? Yep. As Anna Ternheim’s set finished last Thursday at the Troubadour with Loney, Dear sitting in as her band, their mic stand fell from the stage and landed on my arm as they were clearing the stage. Thank goodness it didn’t touch the camera! As sweet […]

“These guys wanna fuckin’ die on stage.” That’s one of the thoughts that ran through my head barely three songs into the Black Lips performance. The energy these crazy cats bring is unparalleled. I’ll spare a comparo because they’ve all been hog-tied to the bumper of a rusty old Ford pickup and dragged through the […]
