There are thousands of popular artists out there today making new singles all the time. With the increase of bedroom producers though, the ability to simply download a whole studio that you can use right on your lap has made original songs more scarce. Now it seems that your finding tens of thousands of remixes by artists with more and more ludicrous names, leaving you wondering "Transexual Viking Sword Bro- what???." This weekly segment will bring you the popular remixes and the never heard of "Transexual Viking Sword Brothers" remixes of a (common) artist's singles. From all these bedroom [...]
L.A. band One Trick Pony has been making their mark in the local scene with their lush orchestral arrangements since Randolph William III founded the band back in 2003. Eight years down the road, after having a rotation of musicians flesh One Trick Pony's sound out in a live setting, Williams has finally found a solid lineup that includes Jen Matos, Charlene Huang, Joshua Solberg, Todd McLaughlin, and Nick Ceglio. The band's cohesion has also influenced the songs on their latest record, the robust "Try Not To Worry Too Much." The album's lead single, "Andrew Jackson," reveals a [...]
For the first time in forever my inbox is down to less than 100 unread messages. Getting it below 500 took the better part of three days. What's crazy is not that there is so much crap out there - anybody who has spent more than ten minutes looking at the internet knows that the world is full of dumb shit - but rather that out of 500+ promo emails that I've gotten over the past few months, there were less than 20 post-worthy submissions. I know I have some pretty [...]
Sold out gigs. Every Dance DJ playing his tracks at some point. His constant connections with his fans is brilliant, keeping the constantly touring, workaholic busy inbetween flights and queues. Of course, this also keeps the fans up-to-date with what's going on in the world of deadmau5. Fans like that in this virtual social world we're now in. That's why he's popular. Artists, take note.

On a connu Trolley Snatcha avec sa track The Future , il nous fait l'honneur de revenir avec un quatre titres qu'il a intitulé One Trick Pony . Ce dubpolicer propose sa première vraie release , autrement dire pas de split EP ou juste un single. Je pensais qu'il nous proposerait du concentré de The Future au wobble aigüe et agressif comme ça a tendance à beaucoup se faire chez Circus Records , mais que nenni, outre cela, il propose deux pistes réellement [...]
[A bit of everything here: benefit shows, bands with new names and World Cup soccer:] The Airborne Toxic Event returns to the site of their very first show, the Echo, on May 25 for a charity gig for the Neda Project — an Amnesty International-related effort named for Neda Agha-Soltan , the Iranian woman who was gunned down last June during peaceful protests over the election of Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadenijad. The L.A. quintet has also recorded a song, "Neda," [...]
LEMON SUN WITH ONE TRICK PONY + GAVIN CASTLETON + GARDENING NOT ARCHITECTURE + KELLI RUDDICK + RED ARROW MESSENGER ON FRIDAY, SEPT 25, AT HOTEL CAFE. 1623 1/2 N. CAHUENGA BLVD., LOS ANGELES. 7 PM / $8 / 21+ http://www.hotelcafe.com
This is our first show at the Bootleg, a mammoth wood-paneled gem of a space located in Historic Filipinotown. Once a bra factory in the 30's, the venue formerly known as The Evidence Room has become more of a performance space for experimental theater, music, dance, and art. A few years ago, we walked into a veritable carnival of performance artists with fire breathers, contortionists, and naked
[Birthday shouts to Noel Gallagher of Oasis and Tim Burgess of the Charlatans ...] Today: Where to start this evening's bulging schedule except with Animal Collective ? Having hit the Troubadour and the Music Box @ Fonda earlier in the year, the critical darlings now sell out the Wiltern. ... The buzziest shows of the night seem to be the Passion Pit / Harlem Shakes / Cale Parks triad at the Echoplex [that's Lexy Benaim of the Harlem Shakes, pictured, performing at SXSW] and [...]
This is genius. Cold War Kids — along with Sam Jones , the man behind Wilco's "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart" — have released an interactive video for their song "I've Seen Enough." (It's not embeddable, so if you just click on the image, or here , it'll take you to the video.) Through the miracles of web technology, the video allows viewers to "remix" the song (even as it plays) by clicking on the colored bars above band members Jonnie Russell, Nathan Willett, Matt Aveiro and Matt Maust — which changes their parts. [...]
So much music, so little time. I've fallen woefully behind when it comes to acknowledging non-album releases (EPs and singles) from L.A. bands, so this edition of the Buzzsicle will make a dent in that. Buzzsicle 5 is an hour's worth of music — 16 songs that have caught my ear in the past few months. Hopefully, it'll provide you a little introduction to, or a refresher course on, the likes of t he Broken Remotes, Star Parts, the Tender Box, Avi Buffalo, Amateurs, Le Switch, Seasons, Courtenay Green, Evan Voytas, the Polyamorous Affair, the Airlines, Ronald of [...]
What do you get when you combine rock 'n' roll musicians, a love for trompe l'oeil and a fascination with 18th- and 19th-century portraiture? "Gooseberries," apparently. Which is not the same as goosebumps, although L.A. photographer Sterling Andrews might have gotten some of those too in creating the images in her "album," which will be released by Eenie Meenie Records next week. "I wanted to do a project that wasn't just about rock 'n' roll bands," the veteran rock photographer says. "We learn so much about ourselves [...]
[Joel and Benji Madden celebrate their birthday today, on what apparently is a popular day to be born, judging from the number of reminders on my pesky my social networks. Can we just automate the huzzahs?] It's not his birthday until Saturday, but tonight's installment of Low End Theory at the Airliner is being called the DJ Nobody Drinking Contest. Nobody [pictured], as part of Blank Blue , is performing along with Free Moral Agents . ... That show, along with many others, is making it [...]
One Trick Pony, Live@Chessvolt Studios, plays a watery, contemplative Loose Talk. The song is spacious in arrangement, emphasizing each hit of the drum, each violin line, each wispy backup vocal, contrasted by Randy's melted marshmallow vocals and guitar. Read the full review of One Trick Pony's Luxury Wafers Session with videos and downloadable audio. One Trick Pony - Loose Talk - Luxury Wafers Sessions from Luxury Wafers on Vimeo .
Ross Flournoy has played in front of enough arms-folded hipster crowds to know that an interviewer is fishing for a punchline when I ask, "So how is playing for a bunch of 10-year-old kids going to be different from playing a regular show in Silver Lake?" The frontman of the Broken West laughs knowingly and delivers: "Maybe the kids will be more enthusiastic." That they will — if Sunday's crowd at Kidrockers is like the first couple of L.A. installments. Kidrockers brings music, children and their parental units together at matinee performances that are [...]
