After a week off (I was busy roaming around the desert), the Buzz Bands LA Show returns to The Independent FM today with two hours of local tunes, including a segment featuring bands playing the one-day Brokechella festival on Saturday. Join me at 11 a.m. for tunes from Brokechella artists such as Dutch Party, Smoke […]
We’re in the desert today to cover Coachella, so the Buzz Bands LA Show on The Independent FM will be taking the week off. Tune into the Indie FM jukebox for the usual great music mix.
Discovered while sifting through about 2,500 emails I missed while on a cross-country road trip: A lot of what you’ll hear on today’s Buzz Bands LA Show. Join me at 11 a.m. on The Independent FM for introductions to/new music from Cody Crump, LA Font, Draemings, Maxim Ludwig, Dream Machines, Olin and the Moon, Geronimo […]
After a week off while I was cavorting around the South by Southwest Music Festival in the rain, the Buzz Bands LA Show returns to The Independent FM today, with two hours of local music to close out a very mad March. Today’s is a strange mix, probably owing to my having been on the […]
By my count, there are more than 150 Los Angeles artists playing the South by Southwest Music Festival next week in Austin — and those are just the ones with official showcases.

Feels like a potpourri Friday to me … So on today’s Buzz Bands LA Show on The Independent FM, I revisit a few songs from past months, and even from a couple of years ago, and stir the pot with new tunes from Best Coast, Stefan Pruett, SWIMM, Taylor Locke, Ships Have Sailed, Bonson Berner, […]

It’s Friday the 13th, and as luck would have it, I have a new Buzz Bands LA Show, kicking off at 11 a.m. on The Independent FM. It is my good fortune to be sharing new songs from Talk in Tongues, Harriet Brown and Bouquet (and several other artists playing Sunday’s FOMO Fest at the […]
That new Gateway Drugs song is titled “Fridays Are for Suckers,” and I can’t help but think it’s in some way a reply to that song by the Cure that has popped into my head every damned Friday for the past 22 years. Which is a roundabout way of inviting you to tune in to […]
