Silverlake Jubilee 's second day went off without a hitch, and attending the festival on Sunday seemed to be the perfect way to wind down before the work week ahead. The food trucks were still ready to serve, local music traveled through the air and the sun and breeze made the festival seem like a spring fling. ||| Photos by Laurie Scavo Despite the weekend coming to an end, bands played like it was Friday night and ignored the June gloom just waiting in the [...]
Cobra Lillies are a free-for-all freak folk band made up of several Eastside bands. The band began as a side project for The Monolators, and every time I see them they have new members and routines, which have included stomp dancing, cheerleaders, and tonight a flamboyant fashion show sketch to open the show. There were bicycle bells ringing throughout the night and all sorts of weird, down-homey folksy instruments.

The thing is, though, the this record is REALLY REALLY GOOD. I highly recommend watching their videos on youtube. For example: http://www.youtube com/watch?v=vHllh7J-g2o or this one, with [...]

The Dodos (San Francisco, CA) The fact that I work in Santa Monica and don't get off until 7 pm will most assuredly keep me from attending The Dodos free in-store this evening at Amoeba in Hollywood.

At 10:00pm EST, 7:00pm PST, point your browsers to [...]
