Need something to knock you out of your morning funk and get you into the groove for the weekend instead? Enter Street Joy. The L.A. duo has been making some noise around town with a true-blue sound that recalls two or three different eras of rock ’n’ roll. The third single from singer-guitarist-bassist Jason DeMayo […]
If you’ve been a die-hard Warpaint fan from the beginning, and you still can’t get enough of the all-female psych dream-pop quartet, then maybe their video double-feature will tide you over until their Coachella set this weekend. Just over eight minutes long, Warpaint’s Laban Pheidias-directed video seamlessly combines a daytime clip for “Disco/Very” and a nighttime […]
The Pixies, Julian Casablancas and Nicolas Jaar have been added to the lineup for Coachella, which announced set times tonight. Let your planning begin:
East Los Angeles trio the Pocket Rockets return with another single “MDNGHT” to celebrate the release of their sophomore and self-titled EP, and the new track is even splashier than the last. Its guitar riffs are delightfully dizzying, the bass lines are shamelessly flirty and the drums hold it down while vocalist Ralph Blanco sings […]
Flowing white curtains, melodramatic lip-synching, floating disco balls,  pastel-turned-neon outer-space backdrops and wind-blown hair … It’s as if ’90s lovebirds traveled back in time to the ’70s for Air Life‘s new Cousin Video-directed music video. Its bold, sweeping notions, which match the shameless love confessions in the R&B quartet’s single “Tell Me Anything,” are crush-worthy. Aside […]
A super Saturday again: ‣ Rhye performs a sold-out show at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in support of their album “Woman.” ‣ Danish electric music producer Trentemøller headlines the Fonda Theatre. ‣ Southern rockers Widespread Panic stops by the Orpheum Theatre. ‣ Crosby, Stills & Nash, John Mayer, Don Felder, Brandi Carlile and Chris Stills […]
Ever wonder why you’re somewhere when nothing there is worth your time? I’m pretty sure the members of the War On Drugs feel that way in the Anthony Zagarella-directed video for “Red Eyes,” easily the best track on the band’s latest album “Lost In A Dream” – and quite possibly one 2014’s best tracks. Adam Granduciel and […]
If you thought Banta’s “Dark Charms” was a Fleetwood Mac B-side at first listen, you wouldn’t be alone. The Echo Park-based indie pop sextet’s songs embody so much of the same smooth pop folk-rock swing we’ve got a hunch that their self-titled EP (slated for a June release) is only the tip of the iceberg. […]
Since we witnessed Moses Sumney‘s first proper L.A. show back in June 2013, the singer-songwriter’s buzz exponentially grew and led the way for opening slots for artist such Beck, Thundercat and PAPA this year. He’s also already been globetrotting, playing shows in Europe (he ended up playing with Solange in London). There wasn’t a single […]
Dan Croll’s U.S. debut “Sweet Disarray” is like a good glass of lemonade. It’s crisp, refreshing and it quenches your thirst perfectly on a bright sunny day. Croll, one of the U.K.’s rising songwriters, has managed to write a pop album that has everything in it without it being a mess. It’s utterly pleasant without […]
