It is happening again. After two dormant weeks of doing virtually nothing (OK, very little is more like it), evenings this week were spent spinning vinyl by The Smiths and painting Andi's sewing room in preparation for putting in the bamboo flooring this weekend. Next up will be my record room, which will be a big pain; moving thousands of CDs, LPs and 73 Singles is not a task I will find enjoyable (hence the top photo). But the finished product will be the ultimate reward. I digress. [...]
Hosannas, Gardens & Villa, and Generationals had us giddy with excitement at the hippest house party to ever hit Davis, California.
Brandon: Making the records is the important thing. В последний раз мы вспоминали о группе Hosannas из Портленда, когда делали премьеру их композиции « Islandz ». На этот раз, специально для Violitionist дуэт берётся за трепетное исполнение песни The Beach Boys «Don't Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder)». Лучшей колыбельной и не хочется желать. Берегите себя. Hosannas by Violitionist Sessions

Happy Friday! So I've decided to put together a short mixtape of stuff that I'm really enjoying right now. Some of it is new and a couple songs are a wee bit older. It's a collection of tracks from artists hailing from Miami, Boston, Sydney, Portland, and Denver. The common thread is the electronic sound with hints of psychedelic, shoegaze, and/or other musical elements. Thematically, it puts me in a reminiscent state and I go back to youth. I don't know if it'll have the same effect on others but I hope that you enjoy. You [...]

The visuals for Hosannas' "Be Careful" are straight up insane. With all sorts of skeleton masks and freaky animations thrown at us, these visuals are absolutely worth watching. And we can't forget about the song itself, another fine example of what this great band has to offer. This can all be further explored on the band's new EP, which is out now via their website . Hit the skip to peep the incredible visuals for "Be Careful".

Portland's own Hosannas are playing a free show tonight at the Holocene as part of Portland's monthly Rumble showcase with fellow PDX group Hello Electric and Los Angeles band Vanaprasta. Hosannas, who released one of our favorite songs of 2010 in "The People I Know," released a new EP last month titled Thug Life Nicole . The experimental pop output from brothers Brandon and Richard Laws continues to mesmerize and entrance on songs like "Obsolete People," a cosmic tornado of percussion, dark bassy synths and beautifully harmonized vocals. The show, presented by Future Sounds, starts [...]

Despite a rocky start full of name changes and departing band members, the brothers Richard and Brandon Laws seem to finally be at peace with the state of Hosannas. The Portland-based duo has had a busy 2010 (spilling into 2011), with the self-release of two LPs and two EPs amidst aggressive touring in the Pacific [...]

The so called interview with the two brothers Brandon and Richard took place at Rontoms where they have free shows every Sunday night in PDX. Hosannas are from Northern California but now (lucky for us ) live and rock out in PDX and also played at SXSW this month. The questions I asked the brothers were hit and miss but I do remember some. One question involved me asking if they were the only two people originally in the band. They answered by telling me: No, they had other band members but it just didn't work out. They [...]
LA's Vanaprasta hold court for the April Rumbles Now that everyone has hopefully recovered from their SXSW hangovers, THE RUMBLE TOUR is back in April with a touring act we've been fans of for quite a while, VANAPRASTA . This LA based quintet, comprised of Collin Desha (guitar/vocals/keys), Steven Wilkin (vocals/keys), Taylor Brown (bass/vocals), Cameron Dmytryk (guitar) and Ben Smiley (drums) formed in 2008 and have been laying the foundation for their takeover ever since; with a coveted residency at The Echo, a steady presence [...]
