Join me at 9 tonight on The Independent 88.5 FM for the L.A. Buzz Bands Show. I’ll have songs from six (6!) artists releasing albums Friday — the Wrecks, Jamie Drake, Mapache, Erin Anne, Michael Rault and Joynoise, along with new singles from Cayucas, Sharon Silva and Lucy & La Mer. Plus, check out spins of two songs arriving next week, from Jimetta Rose & the Voices of Creation (performing this weekend at the Ford as part of the 101 Festival) and Velvet Starlings. Also, I’ll dip into the archives for a song from Go Betty Go as the fundraising campaigns continue for guitarist Betty Cisneros, who is battling cancer.
