Passion Pit‘s, Michael Angelakos did a very intimate private acoustic performance at the 987FM Hollywood Tower Penthouse. Coming straight from Australia, he wasn’t in a very good condition due to jet lag and a sinus infection, however, he was still able to pull off stunning renditions of his unique indie-dance-pop songs with just a piano and […]

It was a throwback to the early hardcore punk days when Youth Brigade took the stage at the Glass House last Saturday, September 4th. Considering Youth Brigade hit their prime in the 80’s, strangely enough, the Glass House was filled with a buch of lil punk rats that weren’t even a sperm in an egg […]

Portland, Oregon trio, the Mimicking Birds played a mellow set last Friday, Aug. 13 opening up for the Wild Beasts at the El Rey Theatre. If you’re into chill music that can come off a bit haunting, you may like the Mimicking Birds. With sweet vocals and lulling arrangements, I guess you can call them […]

If you have yet to listen to the addictive melodies and enchanting orchestrations by the UK act, Wild Beasts, you’re seriously missing out.

Long Beach’s Crystal Antlers rocked the El Rey Theatre on Wednesday, Nov. 18, opening up for The Big Pink, alongside io echo.

I was so excited about seeing Fanfarlo at The Echo on Monday, Nov. 23 that I didn’t even think about who was going to open. Freelance Whales were more than a pleasant surprise. They are five of the cutest kids from New York, singing through smiles and swapping around a range of instruments that they […]

What happens when you spend months totally loving an album? Obviously you do everything you can to go see that band play. Apparently a lot of other people felt that way about Fanfarlo’s Reservoir because there was a thick line before the doors opened at The Echo, and there were plenty of kids with hopeful […]

Some people say they’re overrated, some people say they’re red hot! Austin/Brooklyn’s rapidly rising electro outfit, Neon Indian, played their first show of their first headlining tour this past Friday, Nov. 20 at the Echoplex. The venue had a great turn out, which I think was also in part to Tigercity. Unfortunatley, we came a […]

THE BIG PINK! If you don’t know how rad these guys are, you need to get on their debut album, “A Brief History of Love!” We just covered the first show of their inaugural North American tour last week at the El Rey Theatre and it literally blew us away. Check out the videos, photos […]
