August 24th marked the release of the official debut full-length album from LA-native Joey Dosik, whose wonderfully delectable soul and instrumental dexterity has been bubbling underneath the surfaces for a few years as a frequent collaborator of the equally dextrous and unbridled funk tinkerers Vulfpeck. He and about ten musicians, including a full string section, […]

With a croon that is as unique as Alt-J’s hoarse howler Joe Newman, the shadowy music of Allan Rayman is as much a reflection of his own low-profile emergence less than two years ago. Caught somewhere between the soulful inflections of R&B and hip-hop, wrapped-up ruggedly into a dark folk storytelling of his alter ego […]

Much like the lush collection of covers Rogue Wave just put out on the appropriately titled Cover Me–it was clear when Zach Rogue came out donning a turquoise, silk-sequin shirt and white pants that even the more nuanced pieces of their 80’s themed night would not be phoned-in. Known for their moving, lo-fi rock, it might not have been a […]

West Hollywood was in for a very special treat Tuesday night. The Troubadour had a hot bill with Portland’s soul sister trio, Joseph.

Earlier this summer, I saw San Diego garage punk rockers Wavves perform a highly spirited set at Atlanta’s Shaky Knees Music Festival. It was quite a sight to see as I never saw so many full $8 beers being tossed in the air in pure jubilation. That’s the kind of excitement these guys jolt out of […]
