Come celebrate the life and music of the late Levon Helm this Tuesday at The Mint in Los Angeles. The night will begin with a dinner and rare screening of the Levon Documentary: Ain't In It for My Health which has been making it's tour around recent film festival circuits. Per the Los Angeles Film Festival: Starting with the image of a tour bus warming its engine in the stillness of an empty lot, this haunting, personal portrait of music legend Levon Helm evokes the mood of a lifetime spent on the road.

Pour out some sweat tea, fire up the banjo, warm up the rocking chair, and get ready for some good old fashioned Americana rock that will easily set your soul aglow and leave you with aspirations towards shucking and diving as The Dustbowl Revival serenade you with some of the most perfect blend of blues, jazz, and pure down home American fun. Americana can mean so many different things to so many different people. And as far as the Holy Ghost Station EP is concerned, [...]

The 2nd New Los Angeles Folk Fest goes off Saturday in a strange, wonderful and probably overheated place known as Zorthian Ranch in Altadena. To give you a taste of the event's deliriously eclectic lineup — the music ranges from old-timey, the fractured folk to psychedelia, with a lot in between — this edition of our Buzzsicle mixtapes is devoted to 10 of the artists playing Saturday. Enjoy. ||| Download: Buzzsicle 15 ||| Also: After the jump, the tracklist, [...]

So, this time last week, we were deep in the abyss that is South by Southwest 2010. Because of this, we didn't really have much time to put our weekly Friday Mixtape together. Apologies all around! In hopes of making it up to you, we spent some extra time on this week's edition and rounded up a collection of singles, remixes, and covers that features the likes of Thom Yorke, The National, Japandroids, Kid Sister, and more. Plus, as always, we threw in a bunch of mp3s from some up-and-comers you just might want to check out. Enjoy! [...]

A while ago we posted about The Dustbowl Revival - a raucous and heady blend of 30s swing, bluegrass and gypsy rhythms. Combined it is a spicy cocktail of good time music that insists toes start to tap and heads begin to nod. Non-negotiable. Their new album You Can't Go Back To The Garden Of Eden is released today and gives you almost one hour of upbeat, hip-shaking, non-stop entertainment. Visit their MySpace here . [...]

This Venice, Calif., collective is pretty darn hard to classify. Inspired by everything from gypsy folk and Americana to bluegrass and jazz swing—and with up to 10 members and a stripped-down sound—the Dustbowl Revival doesn't exactly follow the fickle path of fashion. And that's fine by us, because "Falling Down," from the band's sophomore album, [...]

Venice-based the Dustbowl Revival sounds dusty, all right — the ensemble describes its take on orchestral folk "hillbilly jazz" and harks to an era when a washboard and kazoo were cutting-edge. The 10-member-strong group, fronted by Zach Lupetin, will release its sophomore album, "You Can't Go Back to the Garden of Eden," on March 16. Grab a spot on the porch swing: ||| Download: "Falling Down" ||| Live: The Dustbowl Revival performs tonight at Bordello and at the Hyperion Tavern on Thursday. [...]

The Dustbowl Revival is a Venice, CA-based folk orchestra that merges old school gypsy rhythms with bluegrass, gospel, jug-band, jump blues and the hot swing of the 1930's to form a spicy roots cocktail. Known for their raucous dance-inducing live sets, The Dustbowl Revival plays what some call hillbilly jazz—the original front porch rock n' roll. Think Dylan and The Band in Newport meets Louis Armstrong in New Orleans meets Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeroes on the beaches of LA. It's young people playing upbeat, vintage music and it's all [...]
The Dustbowl Revival is a folk orchestra that plays what some call hillbilly jazz - the original front porch rock n' roll - old time, depression-era swing, blues, and folk. If you want influences, think Dylan, think Louis Armstrong, think The Back Porch Vipers, think Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes. However, you want to describe it, it's young people playing upbeat, vintage music and it's all

I don't think I've ever heard a band described as "a folk orchestra" that's "a combination of depression-era rootsy swing and 60's folk. Now I have, thanks to Venica, CA band Dustbowl Rivival . I listened to this with low expectations, just because I thought it would be interesting but I ended up really enjoying it. It would go nice with a drunken bar scene in a movie. Also, that is definitely the coolest trumpet solo I've heard all year (I think that's a trumpet around the 2:00 mark). I doubt you'll ever [...]
