Life at the mall can get pretty interesting sometimes, right? So it is with Chromeo’s Dave 1 and P-Thugg – joined here by guest Chaz Bundick (Toro Y Moi) – as escapades escalate and high jinks happen and, as we suspected occurs all the time in malls, mannequins come to life. The song is from […]
OK, this qualifies as an insanely busy night on the show circuit: ‣ Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds do the first of two nights at UCLA’s Royce Hall behind their big-selling debut album. That’s the video for “AKA… What a Life!,” above, featuring Russell Brand and (at the 4:16 mark) a Low Flying Owls T-shirt. […]

The veteran British duo proved capable of getting nearly everyone at the venue out of their seats […]
[Birthday greetings go out to Kristin Hersh, long may she rock …] Today: Color me curious about this weekend’s shows by Elefant, the New York City quartet who made a modest splash with their tamed-for-radio dance-punk back in 2003-04. “Misfit” was pretty irrestistible, and the band’s male model-type frontman Diego Garcia did a great job […]
[Steve Perry and his platinum-selling pipes turn 60 years old today; let’s hope that’s a high note …] It’s being billed as the last L.A. show before Chromeo heads into the studio to make a new album – the Montreal electro duo plays to a sold-out Key Club tonight. And after that show, there’s a […]
