[Cheers to Paul Weller, who's celebrating a birthday today ... and here's how you can usher out your holiday weekend:] The three Silver Lake/Echo Park residencies end with a bang: Gangi wraps things up at Spaceland with support from Local Natives and Warpaint ; soulful kids Mississippi Man and shoegazers Lower Heaven [pictured] help residents Golden Animals finish strong at the Silverlake Lounge; and it's Adam Goldeberg's LANDy , the Chapin Sisters and Jogger [...]

Monday, and it's already a ridiculous night for shows: That familiar face you can spot playing the early set tonight at Gangi's residency at Spaceland is actor/director Adam Goldberg , who will be fronting his musical project LANDy . Goldberg has written songs for years and has been an occasional collaborator in the L.A. band the Black Pine , and those songs, which display a winsome, dreamy sensibility, will be released June 23 as "Eros and Omissions." [Download: "BFF." ] The album was recorded with the help of the Flaming Lips' Steven [...]

Matt Gangi and Lyle Nesse — the men behind the machines in the L.A. duo Gangi — imagine their music as cinema, in hi-def on a widescreen. "We were talking to a producer and Matt told him, 'I really want it to sound like an industrial silo in the middle of an open field,'" Nesse says. "The guy didn't know what to think. Suffice to say it didn't work out with that producer." So Gangi and Nesse, who relocated to L.A. from New York last year, are doing it themselves. Their 2008 debut, "A," was made [...]
Gangi is the eclectic musical duo of Matt Gangi and Lyle Nesse. Originally from Brooklyn, where Matt wrote and recorded the first album A , they moved to L.A. to get some sun and space and accidentially encounter Mandy Moore. They will be playing a Monday night residency at Spaceland for the month of May. This interview by Steven Martinez.

You take a Swedish band and place them in Italy to record an album filled with everything from Blues to Calypso, from Psychedelic to African and Caribbean Music... it can only be a the new Voodoo Rhythm project. Mama Rosin is Cyril "Jeter" Yeterian, Robin A. Girod, and Power Van's Fischer, and this trio has sizzled through Cajun set around the world. Voodoo Rhythm released their second album, Brule Lentement, this past Friday and I can't stop moving. Listen to: le two-step de l'haricot ( mp3 ) [...]

Οι Gangi είναι ένα ντουέτο από multi-instrumentalists από το Los Angeles . Πολλά μπορεί να πει κανείς για τις επιρροές τους και για τον ήχο τους, και μάλλον θα ξεκινήσει από την ψυχεδέλεια για να καταλήξει στην electronica. Κάπου στη μέση, πρέπει όμως οπωσδήποτε να γίνει μια στάση και μια αναφορά στην υπέροχη και εντελώς ιδιαίτερη φωνή του τραγουδιστή τους Matt Gangi .. Η καταπληκτική μελωδία του commonplace feathers βρίσκεται στο περσινό ντεμπούτο των Gangi, το οποίο λέγεται απλά 'Α'. "Leave it alone, I don't take it seriously" λένε στο ρεφρέν, και φυσικά, μην [...]

SXSW 2009 is coming up fast. I haven't ever been able to go, but the sheer number of new bands that come out of the festival fascinates me. Maybe next year my blog buddies and I can realize my blog-heaven fantasy of a trip to Austin. Meanwhile, back in reality, here are three bands I would seriously be interested in seeing. Cincinnati's Pomegranates will appear at the Art Disaster Party at the Beauty Bar on March 17, introducing their new CD [...]

I thought the album "Rearrange Beds" by Australian duo An Horse was out in February, but it turns out March 17 is the physical release date. Whichever, the music of Damon Cox and Kate Cooper is crackling-good indie pop. Their North American tour starts this week at Noise Pop in Francisco, but skips L.A., for now. Here's a sampling: ||| Download: "Postcards" Electro/psych-rock duo Gangi has done little wrong since moving from Brooklyn to L.A. They continue [...]
Another Friday, another Friday Mixtape. Jeez, is it just me, or has the year been flying by? Oh well, that just means that the summer festival season will be here before we know it. And what better way to dream of the coming weeks and months of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, camping, and everything else that comes with this year's festivals then with a stellar mix of new singles, remixes, and covers, along with mp3s from some up-and-comers you might just want to check out. NEW Singles: "The Box" by The [...]
