Portland’s STRFKR has never been a band to color inside the lines; their electro-pop has always been quirky. And with their latest album “Miracle Mile” boasting songs that are bouncing off the walls, their David Fine-directed video for “While I’m Alive” follows suit. A bit haunting but also a bit silly, an elderly man seems […]
Old-school vibes aren’t just coming from the old folks anymore, and L.A.’s very own Moonchild is strong evidence for that. The neo-soul trio whose members only recently graduated from college has gained attention near and far for their self-recorded debut “Be Free.” Amber Navran, Max Byrk and Andris Mattson first met at USC, where they studied […]
Big Black Delta – aka Jonathan Bates – is not shy with his smooth dance moves. We saw them in “Side of the Road,” and anyone who has seen Big Black Delta won’t deny that his energy on stage is up to par with the bombastic beats. Whereas he’s tapped into another dimension with his […]
Subtly dropping a new track on Monday via Facebook, Active Child – Pat Grossi – gave his fans a taste of his forthcoming EP titled “Rapor” (pronounced “rah-poor”) with “She Cut Me.” Although only an instrumental cut barely over two minutes, it’s another slice of atmospheric music where the harp strings tug on the heart strings […]
If anyone’s been to Madi Diaz’s residency at the Bootleg this month, the sonic shift in the singer-songwriter’s sound may have come as a surprise.

From the main outdoor stages at Taix (and the Champagne Room inside with bands curated by Buzz Bands LA and White Iris) to the Echoplex to Origami Vinyl to Lot 1 Cafe to Little Joy and […]
Thought we were going to end our first night of Echo Park Rising on a nice note? Think again. Buzz Bands LA is happy to announce the Icarus Line as the latest addition to the Taix Champagne Room stage co-presented by White Iris Records. As our closing act for Saturday night, Joe Cardamone and crew will […]
Savoir Adore, the Brooklyn electro-pop quintet fronted by Deidre Muro and Paul Hammer, have been dubbed the fantasy pop band with good reason. Their latest album “Our Nature” bursts with electrifying summer jams such as “Dreamers” and “Beating Hearts,” and their new music video for “Regalia” follows suit with a geometrically glacial setting. The stark […]
‣ HARD Summer Festival continues over at the Los Angeles State Historic Park with Justice (DJ set), Empire of the Sun [that’s their video for “Alive” above], Flosstradamus, Azealia Banks, Crystal Castles, Bassnectar, Dillon Francis, Baauer, Claude Vonstroke, Busy P and many more. ‣ Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros headlines the Hollywood Bowl where […]
