He's My Brother She's My Sister — the band built around Lemon Sun frontman Rob Kolar and his thespian sister Rachel — is as much about the spectacle as the songs. Costumed, crazy and even a little bit cartoonish, the Kolars — joined in the core group by tap-dancer Lauren Brown and delightfully mad cellist Satya Bhabha — deliver their folk-pop ditties with vaudevillian zeal, injecting a dose of showmanship into an indie scene sometimes stifled by its own seriousness. Their forthcoming residency at the Satellite is built around the theme of "Escape" — the [...]

At least one part of your body will move to the catch of the jangles from He's My Brother, She's My Sister.

Lemon Sun : Official | Facebook I believe it was the winter of 2008 when I received a brief but detailed myspace message and email introducing this Los Angeles based band called Lemon Sun. It was when I had time to read every single email and during those days I always hoped something new and exciting would just fall into my lap. They asked for radio play and shared stories of regional tours up and down the California coast. I was intrigued so I pressed play. The songs were from their [...]

cannoneers of the new command CANNONEERS OF THE NEW COMMAND, LEMON SUN, TIMOTHY MORALES, AND DUNIVEN ON MONDAY JAN. 3RD AT THE ECHO, 1822 WEST SUNSET BOULEVARD, LOS ANGELES. 8:30PM/ FREE/ 21+.

Their name might be a mouthful — Cannoneers of the New Command — but the music of the new L.A. quartet is easy to swallow: It's garage rock 'n' soul that harks back to the swaggering British bands of the early '90s and to grittier '70s before. Absent the current scene's fetish for synths and electro trickery, Cannoneers keep things so straight-ahead you'd think black leather jackets never went out of style. It's not far from the sonic crunch singer-guitarist Mike Monosky achieved with his last project, the Pacific, who put out albums in 2005 and '08, respectively. [...]

Eastern Conference Champions bandmates Joshua Ostrander and Greg Lyons go back a long way. Ostrander was an admiring kid in the days of long-ago Philadelphia-area bands Trip 66 and Dandelion, played in local heroes Ty Cobb and eventually teamed up with the left-handed drummer in Laguardia, who released one major-label album, in 2003. Five roller-coaster years into ECC, the past three in Los Angeles, the pair are joined at the creative hip. "He's one of the best drummers I've ever seen — I can't sit down to write a song with hearing him in my head," Ostrander [...]

LA rock band, Lemon Sun , is bringing back some of that swagger from the 60's into today's modern setting. When you add that with some soulful vocals courtesy of lead singer Rob Kolar, you get some great rock-pop that feels like a laidback Rolling Stones track with a touch of psychedelic. To share the sound, the band has sent over a stop-human motion music video for their new track "Touch The Lightning." Directed by Emily Wilder, the video consists entirely of photographs animated one at a time enjoY! [...]

• Touch The Lightning - Rob Kolar & Lemon Sun

Though Lemon Sun 's new video for "Touch The Lightning" sort of is reminiscent of that Woods video from last year . Still, the whole idea of stop-motion animation just looks cool, so check it out above.

Great stuff from touring and local bands alike tonight, starting at the Troubadour where British soul man Jamie Lidell headlines and Minneapolis electro-pop trio Solid Gold [pictured] opens. The Minnesotans (who also play Spaceland on Sunday) recently released their "Synchronize" EP — and the title track got a remix treatment from L.A.'s Morgan Kibby (of M83, doing business here as White Sea ).

Lemon Sun's new music video for "Touch The Lightning" pits singer Rob Kolar against a mysterious suitcase. Director Emily Wilder stitched together a bajillion photos for this stop-motion creation. As a song and video, "Touch The Lightning" takes the subtle approach to trippy.

What's in the suitcase? Lemon Sun frontman Rob Kolar finds out in the video for the L.A. quintet's new single "Touch the Lightning." The stop-motion film is the brainchild of Emily Wilder (night job: fronting the L.A. trio Wet & Reckless ), who stitched together hundreds of photographs to create the piece. ||| Live: Lemon Sun performs Thursday night at the Echo with Leopold & His Fiction .
