Los Angeles Loved... Black Jesus

Dec 7, 2011, 6:00am la-underground: los angeles loves you
We discovered Black Jesus almost two years ago via that one site no seems to remember anymore, MySpace, and knew right away that we had roughly 6-8 months before L.A. caught wind. So we did what we normally do, quietly stake out shows at small venues (Echo Curio, Dinner House M, and Crane's to name a few), watch them evolve into a great band, and then when the time was right ask them for a

Currently Listening To: Races

Aug 12, 2011, 2:28pm Indie Music Filter
Formerly named Black Jesus , Races were formed in the fall of 2009 after "singer/songwriter Wade Ryff escaped the sweaty grips of multiple bands, the San Fernando Valley and a real life witch". A one-off performance turned into a dedicated effort, with self-recorded and produced album soon to be released (and you'll hear about it). You can download some of their tracks (and/or donate to the band) at bandcamp , a two song 7 inch with the tracks "Big Broom"/"Living Cruel and Rude". A couple listens in to each and I'm recommending you get [...]

New Slow Burner from RACES

Jul 8, 2011, 2:09pm Austin Town Hall
New Slow Burner from RACES The LA based group, RACES (formerly Black Jesus) have just signed on with Frenchkiss Records , who will be releasing the band's debut LP this fall. In preparation for the ride to their debut, the band have just released a single that should probably win you over pretty quickly. There's somewhat of a distance at the opening of the track, but as the vocals enter with the thick bass line, you find yourself being sucked into the dense sound of the "Big Broom." Accompaniment of female vocals add a [...]

Races sign to Frenchkiss Records; album due in fall

Jul 7, 2011, 7:12am Buzz Bands
Races sign to Frenchkiss Records; album due in fall Faster than you can say "Maybe 'Black Jesus' isn't such a great band name," Los Angeles sextet Races are signing to Frenchkiss Records , the New York City-based imprint that has been home to bands such as Local Natives, the Dodos, the Hold Steady and Passion Pit. A formal announcement is expected today. With one 7-inch release to their credit — "Big Broom" (Jaxart Records), which we liked a lot — the indie-rockers recently completed a full-length album, "Year of the Witch," tentatively planned for a fall release. The sound fashioned [...]

How Lady Gaga's Born This Way Turned Into A Religious Mess

May 31, 2011, 5:10am MVRemix Rock
Do you remember who Lady Gaga was in 2008? She was not "Mother Monster," she had eyebrows, her outfits were outlandish, but she could have been someone you knew. Some eccentric fashion-obsessed friend who was into performance art, someone who frequented bars, smoked cigarettes and played piano with her hands and feet. The Lady Gaga of 2011 is not someone you could know. This is a transformed person, someone who was already a vast mutation, now mutated beyond recognition in a very short period of time. Lady Gaga is incapable of true extensive human interaction. She is the most famous [...]

Ears Wide Open: Races

Apr 12, 2011, 7:03pm Buzz Bands
Ears Wide Open: Races Now that they've cleared two big hurdles — dispensing with the search engine-clogging band name Black Jesus and surpassing their $3,000 goal on their Kickstarter campaign — it could be off to the races for L.A. indie-rock septet Races . Their first single "Big Broom" (a 7-inch via Jaxart b/w "Cruel & Rude") comes out later this month, and it dabbles in a lot in 3 minutes: An oozing pop melody over shoulder-tapping bass; a dash of fuzz that never goes all-out psychedelic; and a preening Moog line bearing a vaguely Euro feel. Singer-guitarist Wade [...]

Black Jesus = Big Broom

Mar 9, 2011, 12:45pm smoke don't smoke
Black Jesus = Big Broom Black Jesus = Big Broom LA locals, Black Jesus are on their way to a full album release. And this song Big Broom is the first look we have at it. There music packs the power of all seven musicians above, who joined together over years of acquaintance and impromptu musical performance. And that's what's so great about their sound, it's a hodgepodge, it's self made, unique, and really fun to listen to. They've been tirelessly working on a full-length and [...]

Los Angeles Loves... The Smell

Jan 6, 2011, 6:55am la-underground: los angeles loves you
Something occurred to us when we were asked to help out with tonight's show at The Smell: We love The Smell. Seems appropriate to come to this realization when the little/big space on Main Street just happens to be celebrating their 13th Anniversary this weekend.We do have many fond memories of The Smell over the years. Many include our favorite local bands' early shows (Mia Doi Todd, Irving,

Los Angeles Loves... A Very Strange Halloween

Well, here we are again. Halloween. Our least favorite holiday and we still can't keep ourselves from doing shows on this night. Yes, this is our fourth straight Halloween-ish show and for the fourth straight year we will not be showing any signs of Halloween spirit so if you were wondering if you'd be seeing us in some tired Spartan costume you can forget it. C'mon people, 300 came out like four

The Week That Was

Nov 15, 2008, 2:11pm The Smoking Section
The Week That Was Okaaaaaaaay, we're reloaded. This week the whole crew lined up to look back at the past, set sights on the future, and take aim at the current potential threats. PatricK M. visited the library to remind us why Hip-Hop can't and won't stop , as he walked us through Q-Tip's Renaissance , while the rest of us visited the cellars of the Underground Kingz and tombs of The Pharaoh Nas . We also uncovered President Carter's collection , and revisited his past [...]
