Circa Survive guitarist Colin Frangicetto, aka Psychic Babble, spent five years creating his solo debut. Apparently the best he could come up with in all that time was an album of mediocre indie-pop. Psychic Babble is the name Circa Survive guitarist Colin Frangicetto has chosen for his solo project. It's a name that evokes swirling, psychedelic music, filled with synths and with at least a couple of the spacier tracks lingering past the eight-minute mark. The reality bears very little resemblance to the preconceived notions, however. Album opener "Five Fold Kiss (Don't Sleep)" begins with washes of synth and [...]
If the members of L.A. trio Wilding look familiar, it's because they were formerly called Tigers Can Bite You . Performing under a name that actually references the TCBY song, "The Wilding," Dave Woody, Dave Bowman and Andrew Platts are still together but are continuing the heavier sound they found themselves playing after keyboardist Cindy Morrow parted ways with the band. Although shoegaze elements were never absent from TCBY's sound palette, switching their foundation from keys to guitar has transformed the 3-piece into a solid rock band. Trading in their pop past for a tougher skin today [...]
By: David Schultz Timed to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, Showtime debuted The Love We Make, Albert Maysles’ documentary about The Concert For New York, the superstar-filled show conceived and organized by Paul McCartney. Footage of the actual Madison Square Garden concert is in short supply, quick glimpses of the show giving context to the reactions to the
By: David Schultz For the past month, New York City's Zuccotti Park has been home base for the Occupy Wall Street movement. Radiohead may not have come to play but Michael Franti and Jeff Mangum brought their acoustic guitars to lower Manhattan to entertain and inspire the throngs of protesters. Regardless of where you stand on the Occupy Wall Street movement, one question remained shockingly
The combination of pop sensibility and heavy rock have yielded some timeless songs. However, it's a vague formula, which is why only some bands have discovered the right balance. For a fairly new band in the scene, L.A. trio Monstro Flora has managed to release a debut EP titled "Between the Stars" which successfully pairs these two elements one song after another. Perhaps it's because producer Greg Richling (The Wallflowers) has lent a hand in the studio, but it's apparent that Erik Flores' bright yet commanding vocals which soars over the distorted guitar melodies, rhythm-heavy keyboards, and headbanging [...]
There is a good chance that upcoming L.A. female duo Tashaki Miyaki will become touring buddies with Best Coast or Cults in the future based on their '60s girl-group melodies and sweet vocals. Perhaps it's already in the works without any of our knowledge, because there is still so much mystery that envelopes this media-less group. The magnitude of reverb is inescapable when it comes to Tashaki Miyaki, and it's somewhat of a double-edged sword. Heavy distortion is what gives their sound some color, yet it also makes one wonder if more layers are still developing in the [...]
L.A.'s quintet Son Ark may only have a handful of live demos online, but one listen to "Going to the Woods" will reel in anyone who appreciates roots rock with a slight twist of blues. Vocalist Robin Harris sings his story as good as any jazz singer, and it makes sense since Son Ark started out as a duo playing in speakeasies, cafés and street corners six year ago. Since then, Harris and guitarist Sherman Pascoe have recruited bassist Chris Sousa, banjo player Matt Sousa and drummer Patrick Butterworth (who also plays in L.A. band Dios) to flesh [...]
It was some time in early autumn of 1990 when I read that assessment of Concrete Blonde's self-title debut in a copy of the Trouser Press Record Guide . I tucked the book back onto the shelf and, as I left the bookstore, reached up and felt the sides of my head. I had ears - I needed somewhere to put my ear buds - and, in my backpack, I had cassettes that contained all three albums by the trio of Los Angelenos. I'd missed Concrete Blonde's Trouser [...]

How to traverse this sonic world created by Little Red Lung ? By horse and buggy? Fast cars? Computer-powered hovercraft? The Los Angeles sextet's inviting hybrid of chamber-pop and folktronica is difficult to pigeonhole, but over a backdrop of strings, guitar, keys and electronic beats, singer Zoe-Ruth Erwin (pictured at last weekend's Eagle Rock Music Festival) fashions a lyrical netherworld that feels at once like a diary and art project. The band, which includes guitarist Ali Nikou, bassist Rob Hume, drummer Nathan Kondor and string players Charlene Huang and Cecilia Miller, is working on the re-release of an expanded [...]
Underground pop provocateur Emperor X sure does make it interesting. The high school science teacher-turned-lo-fi explorer, born Chad Matheny, has become known for his pop-up shows and turning the discovery of his music into a geocaching adventure as much as his catchy, mind-bending folk narratives. His latest album, "Western Teleport," is out Tuesday on Bar/None Records , and apparently if you have the coordinates, there's more than what's just on the record. Which is plenty, by the way, especially if you can keep up with Matheny's stream-of-consciousness chronicles inspired by life in and around his [...]
T - Part Three of H.A.T.E I'm so happy to announce that "T - Part Three of H.A.T.E" will be recorded by Swedish hard rockers Badmouth .

H.A.T.E is the mirror project to my L.O.V.E project, where 4 rock bands make their own versions of the songs from L.O.V.E.

Like Fool's Gold and Vampire Weekend, the new L.A. trio Gothic Tropic finds inspiration in world beats and exuberant guitars. The brainchild of Cecilia Della Peruti, who for the past two years has played with Rumspringa, Gothic Tropic takes a playful, lo-fi approach to the psych-pop on its four-song "Awesome Problems" EP, with guitar lines that poke and tickle and beats that quicken the pulse. Peruti, who's teamed up with bassist Daniel Denton (Never at Night) and drummer Liv Marsico (Stone Darling), got an assist from guitarist Sam Lopez Jr. on the EP, whose rough edges are anything [...]
Some may know Marchelle Bradanini of as the "Pony" half of international DJ duo Pony vs. Tiger (with the other half being Natasha “Tiger” Noramly), who spins everything from Hot Chip to Os Mutantes to Orange Juice. However, Bradanini's solo moniker Ponyboy zooms in on a sound that she considers "junkyard country music." With smokey vocals that could rival Cat Power and humble country roots, Ponyboy is miles away from what Bradanini would typically toss on the turntables. Channeling the romance of Patsy Cline, the blues of Gram Parsons and the balladry of Tom Waits, Bradanini [...]
Christian Velky started Good Luck Bear as a solo project about five years ago, but his melody-rich pop seemed to find its full sound when Hoyt Adams and Leonard Tucker joined the lineup. The trio now boasts an album titled "The Nearest Faraway Place," which includes indie rock tunes influenced by everything form surf-pop to twee to shoegaze. "Interchangeable Girls" is hummable from the very first verse where Velky fittingly sings about a number of gals named Mary, Wendy, Carrie, Becky and so on. Ladies men or not, Good Luck Bear are off on the right foot by [...]
The songs of Vanish Valley come from a lot of different places — geographical locales, yes, but harder-to-access regions like the head and the heart too. They're the brainchild of Andrew McAllister, whose leathery voice suggests he spent a minute or two in Austin's dive bars after moving there from the Northwest. McAllister, a film editor by day and once the driving force behind Seattle country quartet Conrad Ford , relocated to L.A. in 2008 and began working with drummer Daniel Goldblatt. That pair, now aligned with Guy Christiano and Alex Owen, mete out Southern (California) fried [...]
