Although Abe Vigoda has four albums under their belt at this point, the tropical punk/'80s-loving outfit decided to stick to their latest release, last year's Crush , for their Daytrotter session. The Los Angeles residents at least picked the right tracks from the record, though, particularly the Cure-esque "Beverly Slope" and pulsing " Throwing Shade ." This still won't appease Vigoda fans who miss the group's earlier tropical punk material. And you have to assume that they left that stuff off this session for a reason. Could they just be sticking with what we heard on Crush [...]
[No tantrums today — it's Fitz's birthday. Cheers to Michael Fitzpatrick on the eve of his band's big homecoming show at the Music Box:] Tonight's flurry of activity: ► This week's installment of the free Also I Like to Rock series at the Hammer Museum will sizzle with a little joie de pop — headlining are Grouplove , the L.A. quintet whose debut album "Never Trust a Happy Song" arrives Sept. 13 via Canvasback/Atlantic. The fivesome has [...]
Here's a video from Dunes , the LA trio featuring ex-Mika Miko member Kate Hall. The affiliation is relevant for purposes of fingering their track "Tied Together"'s sound - female-fronted post-punk with less spike, more wooze - and the cameos in its iPhone-cam video, a Google+ circle's worth of friends from Mika Miko's old Smell-y scene and others to boot: spot the faces from No Age, Vivian Girls, Abe Vigoda, High Places, Telepathe, Cold Showers, Nodzzz, Bleached, Pangea, Shannon and the Clams, and Devon Williams Band.

Your pre-Carmageddon options: ► Talk to the animals? How about singing to them? Hands (pictured) and Abe Vigoda head up an eight-band lineup tonight for Music in the Zoo: Local Scene Night at the L.A. Zoo. The show is something of an open house-meets-picnic at the zoo, with the evening featuring two bands apiece on four different stages. Also playing: HoneyHoney , Kitten , Big Search , the Allah Las , Mini Mansions and Pollyn . More info and set times here [...]

Words by Jacob Barron This column completes the quartet of seasonal soundtracking opportunities, and, appropriately, marks the column's unofficial one-year anniversary. Happy birthday soundtracking! I know we didn't post autumn until September last year, but whatever! I'm trying to get you a free dessert from Applebee's, soundtracking, so shut up and be cool. In addition to autumn, we've been through winter and spring , leading us inexorably on to summer, which I think is easily the easiest [...]
Fucked Up - David Comes to Life (Yesterday, inspired by Fucked Up's new concept double-album David Comes to Life, we set about charting the history of the ambitious impulse in punk rock. Today, we continue the series up to the present day. You can read the first part of the column here . We pick up in 1988 with one of rock music's greatest landmarks.) Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation (1988) Yet another record about which there is little [...]

Lorsqu'on vous annonce la venue d' Abe Vigoda à la Flèche d'Or, n'imaginez retrouver le personnage de Sal Tessio, issu de l'Univers du Parrain , pousser la chansonnette. Il s'agit bien du quatuor déjanté à l'origine de Skeletons et surtout Crush , ovni post-punk rance et moite. Une bande d'illuminés cédant à tous les excès et clairsemant sa musique de halos lumineux sur asphalte déglingué. Cousin australien de Local Natives , Cloud Control cultive la même passion pour les mélodies pop en clair-obscur, tendrement agitées, sauvagement mélancoliques. Entre vrais sourires [...]
