Snow Patrol plays the Wiltern in advance of the Nov. 10 release of their best of compilation “Up to Now” and the Nov. 3 release of their (wait for it) DJ mix CD, “Late Night Tales”.

Video: The Bronx, ‘Inveigh’

0

Inveigh: To protest or complain bitterly or vehemently. Yep, that’s my Bronx. You want to rail against some injustice, you want Matt Caughthran doing your talking for you. The Jamie-James Medina-directed video for “Inveigh” – off their third album, released last year – captures the rage in its eye-blinking glory. The Bronx have been spending […]

Gallery: Abbot Kinney Festival, the Little Radio stage

2

Skies were overcast for Sunday’s Abbot Kinney Festival, but the forecast for good music was sunny. Photographer Jeff Koga, who sends along this gallery, stationed himself at the Little Radio stage for the afternoon (three other stages provided myriad entertainment). Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros [above] delivered another great set, though delayed by technical […]

News bits: Music Go Music, Sonic Youth, Airborne

1

Hasn’t been announced yet, but I hear that L.A. disco kids Music Go Music – the electro persona of the principals in Bodies of Water – have been asked to open the U.K. dates on Franz Ferdinand’s tour. Nice score. Apparently the Franz folks caught the recent show at Bordello. ‣ No word on Avi […]

Video: The Lovemakers, ‘Naturally Lonely’

0

Bay Area electro kids the Lovemakers have been playing romantic for about four years now, with mixed results, but their swooning synth-pop has always drawn pretty enthusiastic audiences here. Now collaborators Lisa Light and Scott Blonde are no longer a couple – at least, not in that way – a relationship arc that is played […]

Ears Wide Open: Dazzler

0

Dazzler’s art school-contrived take on 1970s music has proven reliable party fodder around L.A. the past year or so, even if I can’t imagine listening to the quintet’s music without a three-drink buzz. (Until now.) As with the band that spawned Dazzler, the Devo-devoted Totally Radd, the remarkably proficient music of Neil Schuh, Adam Villacin, […]

This weekend in L.A.: Stellastarr*, No Doubt, more

1

[Happy birthday to longtime Buzz Bands fave Michael Penn on Saturday. Here’s what’s huge, and not-so, this weekend:] Tonight: Told somebody I was eager to see Stellastarr* at the Troubadour and was asked, “What is this, 2003?” And I thought, you know, it some ways it would be better if it were. Stellastarr was one […]

Dr. Dog-endorsed Floating Action [left photo], the nom tune of […]
