Tuesday afternoon update: The Mae Shi have dropped off the bill for this benefit, and a new lineup is in the works. Stay tuned. Vandals on Friday night set fire to the locally famous TacoZone taco truck stationed on Alvarado a couple blocks north of Sunset. The setback knocked the popular dispensers of late-night munchies […]
If I had to guess, I’d say Sunset Junction is going to happen this year. I know its status still seems to be a subject of debate in some circles, but suffice to say things will be worked out in time for the big charity street fair Aug. 22-23. Can’t get anyone to clue me […]
The Buzz Bands show closes out May with a passel of new music, and my guest this morning will be Leslie Stevens of Leslie & the Badgers, who will soon release a new album, “Roomful of Smoke.” Click on Little Radio to listen in at 10 a.m. UPDATE: Internet problems scotched the live webcast of […]
The La’s are making new music? At the risk of tainting, or at least de-mystifying, what I consider to be the finest pop song ever written, “There She Goes,” I say bring it on. The BBC reports that enigmatic frontman Lee Mavers has written a new album and joined up with Babyshambles bassist Drew McConnell. […]
||| Download: “Buzzsicle 3” I originally created Buzzsicle 3 for a special promotion, and … well, it’s a long story, but I never posted it until now. It’s an hour’s worth of music featuring 15 songs by L.A. artists Red Cortez, Spider Problem, the Yelling, Greyboy, the Gray Kid, Keenhouse, NightWaves, Shiloe, Robotanists, His Orchestra, […]
[Notebook entries, once sentence apiece …] Wolfmother [visit the site to sign up for the download of the new single “Back Round”] sure was great a couple Fridays ago in the Natural History Museum’s Mammals Hall (imagine that), but I was surprised that the set started and ran so late, since the museum’s First Fridays […]
Join me for the Buzz Bands show at 10 this morning on Little Radio. Depending on the position of the stars and the traffic patterns in downtown L.A., I might have a guest.” I will have fresh music from the likes of the Morning After Girls, Death to Anders, the Warlocks, the Valley Arena, Art […]
After a few weeks on the sidelines, the Buzz Bands show returns to Little Radio this morning. Tune in at 10 a.m. and I’ll share some of what’s been reaching my ears (I mean, beyond yesterday’s Buzzsicle podcast, which a surprising number of you have already downloaded, apparently, thanks for that). And thanks for reading.
One album, three or so delirious years and a lot of patter about being the next Led Zeppelin later, Australia’s Wolfmother disintegrated in 2008 in a cloud of “irreconcilable personal and musical differences.” Frontman Andrew Stockdale has now replaced original members Chris Ross and Myles Heskett with a new lineup and is finishing up a […]
Quite a night at the Echo on Monday – it was packed to the gills for Fool’s Gold, then packed again for the midnight set of Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros. The late act then proceeded to play for an hour-plus and come back for an encore. Which you just don’t see out of […]
