Join me at 9 tonight on The Independent 88.5 FM for the L.A. Buzz Bands Show — I’ll have fresh songs from the Tracks, Gold Star, NO WIN, Blondshell, PJ Western, Surf Curse, Finneas and Liv Slingerland, along with recent faves by Zella Day, Westerner, Hazel English, Ian Sweet and more. Plus, because the reaction to last week’s 11-year-anniversary show (and its playlist of “recent oldies”) was so sweet, I’m resurrecting the “flashback track of the week.” This week, it’s Blondfire, circa 2016.
