The DIY crew at FMLY — although the socially conscious group prefers to think of itself as DIT ("do-it-together") — has big plans to close out 2011. The organization that has become known for, among other things, its group bike rides that feature pop-up concerts, is closing out the year with the two-day FMLY FEST , a music and arts event boasting more than 40 bands, interactive art installations, chill-out tents a 'zine festival and more. The festival goes off Dec. 29 and 30, the first day downtown near L.A. State Historic Park and second day in [...]

Whether you listen to an artist because they sound good or because you've been attracted by their name, either item always seems to be one of two reasons you've discovered any number of songs in your music library. Remember the old days before iTunes when you would look at the album cover and say, "Yup, I'm going to buy this". Now that times have changed and music is so readily available to us, it still comes down to the band name itself that can either make or break our decision to even listen to the artist.

Professor Calculus' strain of unhinged instrumental rock features a brash rhythms, a double-bass assault and enough energy to power a small city. Ryan Janke, Josh Jetson, David Garske and Caleb Stone have built their cred in the L.A. underground, cutting loose at all-ages spaces, in parking lots and on the FMLY bike-ride shows, and their recordings, while raw, are sure to clear your cobwebs on a foggy morning, if they haven't made your ears bleed the night before. Last November's six-song release "Chare" (available for free download) shows the quartet is not just all about [...]
