About the time they’re handing out the last of those little statuettes on television tonight, I’ll be kicking off the L.A. Buzz Bands Show on KCSN (88.5 FM, streaming at KCSN.org). And tonight’s weekly hour of SoCal music will have some star power in its own right – included will be fresh tunes from DWNTWN, Nico Vega, Y LUV, De Lux, James Supercave, Okapi Sun and Line & Circle. Plus, I will have selections from the new albums by NO, Gardens & Villa, Run River North, DA & the Jones and Nick Waterhouse. Oh, and did I mention I’ll be giving away tickets to NO’s big album-release show next weekend at the Troubadour? That should get me best-blogger-impersonating-a-DJ-in-a-supporting-role or something. Tune in, won’t you?
After the jump, tonight’s playlist:
