DOWNLOAD: Dios - "4th Quarter Single" Cali rockers Dios (Malos) sound like the Beach Boys raised on cheap beer, kind bud and crushing cynicism. -Village Voice Hailing from Hawthorne, CA - home of the Beach Boys - Dios' sound is a product of their environment. Hawthorne has slowly devolved into its current chaotic blend of race riot aftermath, shuttered malls,and used car lots. Smog, graffiti and strip malls have replaced the surf, orange groves, and beach bonfires of the Beach Boys' [...]

Here's one that's long overdue — Dios (they've thankfully reverted to their original name after spending time as Dios Malos) soon will release their third album, "We Are Dios," via the mellow fellows at Buddyhead Records. I've had the unfinished mixes for a while, and they're gorgeous — a realization of the trippy psychedelia and lovingly fractured pop the band imagined way back when . ||| Download: "Stare at Wheel" [e-mail required] ||| Live: Dios performs at 5 p.m. Saturday at Lobsterfest at [...]
It's hard to think about the holiday season when temperatures have been soaring above 90 degrees of late, but news surfaced last week that Bob Dylan had headed into the studio to record material for - of all things - a Christmas album . Dylan, who is no stranger to Christian rock, has already laid down renditions of Must Be Santa, Here Comes Santa Claus, I'll Be Home For Christmas and O Little Town of Bethlehem. Nothing like scaring the hell out of your kids with Zimmy's renditions of these holiday classics. [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive When the Southern California stoner band Dios changed their name to Dios (Malos) back in 2004, it wasn't because they were looking something different. Nor did they mean any ill will towards god or to say that gods are bad, as the Spanish interpretation of that name may imply (technically "dios malos" translates into a singular "god" and a plural "bad"). In fact, they wouldn't have changed their name at all if it weren't for meddling metal man Ronnie James Dio , who had his lawyers [...]

Orders from the Fire Marshal sent the marathon Fauxchella festival packing from the announced Traction Ave. venue earlier in the week, but by showtime on Good Friday organizers had moved the event to gamier precincts many blocks away. Hangar 1018 is beloved of the downtown party set and I know the space well, having wandered along its sketchy and verminous stretch of S. Santa Fe many times in various states of hallucinogenic inebriation. Inside, instead of the usual haul of faux-fur and near-naked ladies, were a couple hundred gamboling on the fragments of their Eastside Cool. I was waved past [...]
