Like LA Font’s “Diving Man,” the title track to the local quartet’s guitar-tastic 2013 album. The forthcoming “Diving Man […]
Back in January 2012, we introduced Miracle Days, the indie-pop collaboration between Edson Choi and Dre Babinski, both whom played in the now-defunct Dusty Rhodes & the River Band. They had made some recordings the previous fall in Dr. Dog’s Philadelphia studio and an album release seemed imminent. But the recordings needed tweaking and possible […]
There were “Secrets and Truth” and a whole lot more on Friday night at the Skirball Cultural Center in one of the most ambitious intersections of music, art and performance art we have witnessed at a museum.
