Last week we were very fortunate enought to catch a private (and sensational) hour-long Janelle Monáe private performance at the new iHeartRadio Theater Los Angeles. Although she put on one of the best performances we’ve seen in 2014, we really wish she would have performed this incredible Bowie cover. Ms. Monáe has record a cover […]

The lovely psychedelic warriors of Tame Impala have shared a gorgeous rendition of Michael Jackson’s 1996 lesser known track, “Stranger In Moscow”. It’s dreamy and oozy, just like all of Tame Impala’s surreal blends of titillating sounds. As Tame Impala noted on their Facebook, the “free cover” is “fresh out of the oven.” Stream it below […]

In 2012 we were blown away by the Canadian dark-wave electro duo, TRUST’s debut album TRST. So much that we gave them a Hot Band Alert feature and then they blew us away even further at their show at the Echoplex, opening up for Oh Land and Blood Orange. After selling out the Echo for […]

I love how in his latest release, “Angelika,” off his upcoming album “What Will We Be,” Devendra Banhart let’s his Venezuelan roots shine. Not only does he pronounce the name “Angelika” with that sweet Latin tongue, but the song transcends from his token indie folk into a sexy Spanish flow of lyrics and howls. Stream […]

Bjork’s new album, “Voltaic” off Nonesuch was played non-stop on my iPod the past couple days. Filled with an awesome mix of eclectic beats and soundscapes, Bjork holds true to her avant-garde style for which we all know her for. Sifting you through different moods and emotions through out her strong, expressive vocals, you won’t […]

“Preliminaires” by Iggy Pop – It’s funny to hear this crazy godfather of punk go slow-mo, sounds like a bad heroin overdose. Naw, but really, Iggy and The Stooges have always been one of my favorite bands, much respect to Iggy, but I’m not too keen on this album. I like “Je sais que tu […]
