The April installment of the Natural History Museum’s First Fridays series won’t fall on the first Friday of the month — in fact, it comes during the first weekend of Coachella. But what’s a week between dinosaurs and friends? It was announced today that White Fence and Cherry Glazerr would play the night, which also […]
Just say “wheeeee,” or rather “Wii.” Electro whiz kid Robert DeLong, armed with consoles of gadgets, a game controller, a drum kit and a couple of friends, kicked off this year’s First Fridays series at the Natural History Museum with a bang on Friday night. London’s Tom Vek opened, as the museum launched this year’s […]
Detroit-bred, L.A.-based electro-R&B singer JMSN will headline the March 6 installment of the Natural History Museum’s First Fridays series (which kicks off its 2015 season this week with Robert DeLong, Tom Vek and Quitapenas). JMSN, the nom de tune of songwriter-producer Christian Berishaj, in December released his latest full-length, “The Blue Album.” StarRo, the solo […]
L.A. electro alchemist Robert DeLong will be joined by London indie-rocker Tom Vek and SoCal Afro-Latin rockers Quita Penas at the 2015 opener of the Natural History Museum’s First Fridays series. Next year, the series will skip January and kick off on Feb. 6. The monthly series runs March 6, April 10, May 1 and […]
The Natural History Museum’s First Fridays series – a monthly event than runs January through June – went out with a bang last week. Making the night an indoor/outdoor celebration (more room for the dinosaurs to roam, right?), the series featured a lights-out headlining set from Unknown Mortal Orchestra. That followed great performances from De Lux, […]
The First Fridays series at the Natural History Museum got all garage-y for April, with Mikal Cronin and his band, hair flying, holding forth with songs from last year’s album “MCII” and more. Long Beach trio Tijuana Panthers set the tone in the North American Mammal Hall with a dose of their taut surf-rock. Electro-pop […]

Mikal Cronin, whose 2013 album “MCII” earned plenty of well-deserved props, will play April 4 at the Natural History Museum as part of its First Fridays series. Tijuana Panthers will support. Tickets are on sale here. That’s Cronin’s video for “Peace of Mind,” above.
Futuristic music, meet fossils. The second First Fridays event of 2014 at the Natural History Museum offered an interesting juxtaposition – music from two forward-thinking electronic acts in a setting devoted to history, some of which is millions of years old. It wasn’t so unnatural, with Will Wiesenfeld’s Baths dispensing their melancholy compositions after a […]
Youngblood Hawke proved the perfect party mammals to kick off 2014’s First Fridays series at the Natural History Museum, but the band’s feel-good dance-rock was upstaged by an explosive, theatrical outing from L.A. newbie Conway. Fronting a four-piece, singer Kassia Conway took the stage wearing a mask and a leopard body suit, with her band […]
