THE MONOLATORS, EMA AND THE GHOSTS, AND MINOR ME ON SATURDAY APR. 30TH AT THE DA CENTER FOR THE ARTS, 252 SOUTH MAIN STREET, POMONA. 7:30PM/ $5/ ALL AGES
I don't know why but I just felt like trying my hand at something new this week so I made Avocado Tomatillo Salsa for the first time ever. Watch out for the Serrano Peppers. I made the mistake of touching my eye and was in the shower trying to rinse it out for about 45 minutes! It inspired me to make a mix of music from a few upcoming JAXART Presents shows we have going on. It includes music from Jeans Wilder , Speculator , a. d. l. r. , W-H-I-T-E , [...]
SO MANY WIZARDS, EMA & THE GHOSTS, STEFFALOO, AND A.D.L.R ON FRIDAY APR. 15TH AT LOT 1 CAFE, 1533 WEST SUNSET BOULEVARD, LOS ANGELES. 9:00PM/ $5/ 18+
Well, it's the first of 365 days of 2011 today and there is no better way we'd like to start the year than to spend the evening with some of our favorite lady friends. The Sweet Hurt has been off galavanting with a some of the scene's most famous faces for the last few years but somehow she managed to produce one of the prettiest indie folk records of 2010 with her self-titled album (out now).
Back in December, we presented a rather pleasant Winter get-together with a few longtime favorites and now we're back at pehrspace for the Summer version with some ol' time lovers and new time friends.Let's start with the new since we've been running around catching Elle King, Victoria Noll, and I Hate You Just Kidding for a little while now. Ms. King is a native Angeleno but spent much of her

Our popular (Re)Covered series, wherein we recover songs that dropped through the cracks too late to make it into the posts where they belonged, generally provides an opportunity to check in on previously featured artists, songs and themes. Today, I've also included an omnibus reminder to enter our Contest Week contests before entries close on Monday at midnight. But first, thanks to other blogs, artists and label notices, fan submissions, and other agents of serendipitous universe, here's the scoop on some new songs, new takes, and new discoveries. [...]
Quand je l'ai écoutée pour la première fois, "chez" Jon Carling , le dessinateur, elle n'avait que 17 ans. Et déjà cette voix, placée, sûre, jouant du contraste entre ses mimiques volontairement gamines et son timbre de femme épanouie. Fée armée de bulles de savon, dompteuse de puces de cirque, Ema And The Ghosts , Madame promet. [MP3] Ema And The Ghosts - Ice Cream (Live At Mr T's Bowl, L.A.)

[Happy birthday to Abe Vigoda — not the band, silly, the actor. Abe's 88 today, and we love him as much as Conan O'Brien does.] The pride of Issaquah, Wash., Modest Mouse [pictured], hits town tonight for a show at the Palladium that, as of early this morning, was not sold out. Mimicking Birds (signed to Isaac Brock's label) and O.C. guys Japanese Motors open. ... Kinky plays the night's other big show, at the Music Box @ Fonda (it's [...]
This here is an automated, pre-written post as I'm currently away on one of my spy missions to the USof until the 21st January. Not only does my welcome absence afford TWoTH some much needed 'down time' from my giddy ninnying, she also has about 2 weeks of having to only worry about the DCHQ cats dropping half-chewed food on the duvet, leaving suspect puddles on the floor & jumping all over her head at 3am because they can't sleep & want attention. This week, then, in a further installment of the Drunk [...]
Ema and the Ghosts is/are celebrating the release of a new EP entitled Boy in the Milkbox on Saturday. She's been planning this night for months -- actually before the release of her last EP back in August -- so you know she's excited. We recently conducted an in-depth interview with Ema and her Ghosts regarding the secret details involving this special evening: la-underground: Hello, Ema. Ema:
Seems we've started every post like this but... Congrats to The Soft Hands for the huge, humongous, gigantic CD release show on Friday at Alex's Bar. Their new album Hours Pass By is available now through Fidotrust and it's fantastic. Earlier Friday, we caught what was supposedly The Black Pine's final show ever at pehrspace. The band has been around for nearly ten years and we hardly think
We really shouldn't say this is an anniversary show. It's more just a reason to have friends over to hang out for a night. Kind of like a slumber party. And while we were tempted to ask everyone to come in nighties, sleep tees, and other assorted pajamawear it's certainly not mandatory although very much encouraged. Once again, we have brought together some of our closest friends from our great
Long before the muxtape , there was "A Baker's Dozen". And it's back. Volume 12. Enjoy. 01 - Lykke Li - " Dance Dance Dance ". " When I'm shaking my hips, look for the swing, the words are written in the air... ". My #2 favorite song of the past month (with #3 here and #1 coming up). [...]
As we all know, The Bordello used to be Little Pedro's, but not much has been said about its scandalous past as a real brothel and a one-time meeting place for bad cops and mobsters to cut deals (according to one old-timer we once chatted up at the bar). A quick search on Wikipedia and Yahoo! Answers didn't turn up much about the club but, no matter, The Bordello still makes for a perfect site
The Cobra Lilies are back and will be playing at Bordello Wednesday April 23rd with The Idaho Falls , Ema & The Ghosts , & Blair . Get all the event details and RSVP right here !

Homemade Birthday Pretzels! Many of you know I play bass for The Cobra Lilies which includes Eli and Mary from The Monolators . Today at band practice they had a surprise for me. Mary made me home made birthday pretzels with an assortment of mustards!!!! Anyone close to me knows I have a crazy obsession with mustard. I will eat entire spoonfuls of it straight. It was the pahuuurfect birthday present. The [...]
I don't want to exaggerate my love for this band - that wouldn't be fair. Ema (pronounced like Emma, or more like emu with an 'a'?) & the Ghosts purvey a gentle, slightly spooky toy-town jazz. The sort that sounds like it might be being played behind a closed door on another [...]
One girl and a ukulele. Ema and the Ghosts is just Ema, a girl with a ukulele and occasionally an accordion who sings sweet little ditties that make your heart tingle. We first saw Ms. Ema as a one-time member of the local group Artichoke. Details of that fallout can be read on her blog, but no matter. Perhaps the band saw her potential beyond just singing songs about scientists and doing Sex
