Video: Active Child, ‘Johnny Belinda’

0

“You Are All I See,” the debut album from Active Child was a BBLA favorite and a success for L.A.’s Pat Grossi. Now that his national tour in support of the record has wrapped up, Grossi’s next step takes him back in to the studio for a follow-up. The sophomore effort is slated for a […]

Ears Wide Open: The Tin Drums

1

On his solo album “Stomp Out the Sun,” singer-songwriter Jason Diaz established himself as a blues-rock classicist with a clarion, gospel-influenced voice. In his new venture the Tin Drums, Diaz has a foil in singer/lap steel player Anna Beth Carlson. The duo have set course for the wide-open spaces of soulful Americana, and their first […]

Stream: Line & Circle, ‘Roman Ruins’

2

It’s been two years [see our 2010 interview] since L.A. has heard from Line & Circle, the anthemic rockers conceived by two Brians (Cohen and Egan) who originally hail from Ohio and sometimes sound like they just sprang from a London club circa 1992. The supporting cast has changed a bit– ex-Aushua mates Eric Neujahr […]

Video: PAPA, ‘Ain’t It So’

0

We’ll leave the meter running while you check out Jonathan Hausfater’s video for the PAPA song, “Ain’t It So.” Or maybe we won’t. Maybe the meter ain’t even real. Maybe the pink suit that singer-drummer Darren Weiss is wearing isn’t real either, nor the taxi that bassist Daniel Presant pilots around the Paramount lot and […]

Stream: Sea Wolf, ‘Old Friend’

0

Alex Brown Church’s songs as Sea Wolf unfold like dog-eared photographs come to life, his pastoral imagery (and equally lush arrangements) not only carrying the weight of nostalgia but the sense that by articulating it his protagonists can somehow free themselves of the burden. So it is with “Old Friend,” the new single from Sea […]

Stream: The Soft Pack, ‘Saratoga’

0

The new single from the Soft Pack announces itself with a driving, anthemic roar, as if the L.A.-via-San Diego quartet are pronouncing themselves ready to bust out of the garage and assume their rightful place in a big theater (or small arena) near you. Which, if you caught any of their recent live performances, is […]

Ears Wide Open: Le Youth

[Today, just in time for your Sunday afternoon pool party, Buzz Bands LA welcomes a new contributing writer, Jonathan Buchanan. A Los Angeles-bred writer and DJ, Jonathan will be posting on various topics for BBLA, especially electronic music.] When it’s warm at night, a seductive, retro dance-track always hits the spot. A good funk bass-line, […]

Ears Wide Open: Poolside

0

 L.A.’s Poolside isn’t asking you to do anything but join them by the poolside, and why wouldn’t you? As the holiday weekend continues and summer heat begins to rise, splashing around with friends seems like the only way to cool down. The duo comprised of Jeffery Paradise and Filip Nikolic not only understand the […]

Ears Wide Open: AKW

0

When we first spotted Alexandra Wisner in the middle part of last decade, she was all of 15, playing in the Tints with Harley Viera Newton and Clara Balzary (Flea’s daughter). The Tints, who made two EPs (one with John Frusciante), were already Wisner’s second band. Fast-forward a few years, and Wisner has released two […]

Download: Kissed Her Little Sister, ‘That Was Only Wasting Time’

0

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Jeff Morisano, aka Kissed Her Little Sister. His self-released album “High & Low” was a refreshing twist on indie rock and hip-hop with Inspector Gadget-influenced tunes like “Cocaine.” After lying low, he’s finally released a follow-up album, “Sailor,” which is also offered as a free download in […]
