Local Natives bassist Nik Ewing joins Buzz Bands LA for today’s edition of the interview/artist playlist series QUARANTUNES, talking about how much he misses shows, museums and basketball and sharing a playlist that brings him some comfort.
With a new single out and their second album on the way, Long Beach’s Wargirl was in the middle of a European tour when the COVID-19 lockdown marooned them. In today’s QUARANTUNES, they talk about getting home and picking up the pieces: “Financially, we got our asses handed to us.”
A sound engineer with no sound to engineer, Daniel Knowles is turning his energies toward The Know, the dream-pop he makes with his wife, Jennifer Farmer. Their first single “143” has taken off, and in today’s QUARANTUNES, they share a “Bedroom Sessions” version, along with their coping mechanisms and a playlist for a “candlelit bath and glass of wine.”
With a strong new single just out, an album on the way, but touring plans on hold, Ceci Bastida talks about rising to challenges — and shares a wildly eclectic playlist — in today’s edition of Buzz Bands LA’s interview/artist playlist series QUARANTUNES.
It’s what’s for brunch: Buzz Bands LA’s weekly playlist features music from Phoebe Bridgers, Jenny O., the Buttertones, Mondo Cozmo, Thao & the Get Down Stay Down, Pure Protein, BIIANCO, Wayne Everett, Mini Trees, Low Flying Owls, Bizou and more.
BIIANCO, who is hosting and performing on today’s Uncancelled Fest, talks about keeping busy during the coronavirus shutdown — and shares a playlist for that all-valuable “time in bathtubs,” as Buzz Bands LA’s interview/artist playlist series QUARANTUNES continues.
The Buttertones’ new album “Jazzhound” came out today, so it’s appropriate that Buzz Bands LA hand over today’s QUARANTUNES to the L.A. quintet. So you can find out which of them are model-builders.
Singer-songwriter (and haiku enthusiast) Johnathan Rice is trying to handle the coronavirus lockdown with “compassion and love,” he says in today’s edition of QUARANTUNES. Of course, he has another workaround.
Even constrained by the quarantine, Dear Boy are continuing to work on their full-length album. The quartet — L.A.’s favorite Britpop band who aren’t actually from Britain — share their workarounds, as well as a stellar playlist.
Buzz Bands LA beamed a QUARANTUNES missive to Joshua Tree, where Jesika von Rabbit has been making music — and masks — while cooped up at home. Dial in to some desert strangeness in the latest edition of our interview/artist playlist series.
