Who spiked my eggnog?

Tonight, I’ll be spreading a little holiday cheer (and weirdness) on the L.A. Buzz Bands Show, kicking off at 9 p.m. on The Independent 88.5 FM.

I’ll have new, original Christmas tunes from Los Lobos, Letters to Cleo, Mike Krol, the Regrettes, Mini Trees, the Jacks and Mikal Cronin, along with freshly minted covers by Jesika von Rabbit and Apex Manor. Plus, I’ll revisit some favorites from recent years, courtesy of Jeff Schroeder (of Night Dreamer, Smashing Pumpkins) and the Majestic High, Ceci Bastida, Living Sisters, Dear Boy and Jenny O. And tune in early to hear what the composer named Moose With a Scarf has cooking from his album “A Very Synthy Christmas.”
