A WEEKEND AT SILVERLAKE JUBILEE The Silverlake Jubilee this year was quite the event: two days packed full of excellent musical talent, delicious food and drink, and friends old and new. After downing a Deschutes and watching Will Wiesenfeld change his pants in the green room I saw a little bit of LA fitness phenom SWEAT SPOT before walking down to catch the end of JAIL WEDDINGS . The mood on the street was buoyant, which was strange considering that the world was supposed to end [...]
It's already been a year since the last SILVER LAKE JUBILEE , a good time for 2 days, filled with food trucks, art booths and over 50 bands. This year's live music was curated in partnership with the Silver Lake Jubilee Music Advisory Committee, Origami Vinyl, and Spaceland Productions. There are some of LA's finest up and coming acts throughout the weekend, here are a few highlights: We Are The World, Crystal Antlers, The Little Ones, Rainbow Arabia, Summer Darling, The Black Apples, Jail Weddings, Slang Chickens, [...]
As last minute step-in for BIYL's Mark who was off honing his culinary skills for a rather important anniversary, I took on this job with trepidation and an uncharacteristic lack of planning.... ...But if there was ever anywhere where trepidation and an uncharacteristic lack of planning were actually a bonus for the survival kit, the 2011 Camden Crawl was surely it... My brief was simple, witness a brace of memorable sets by (mostly) not so [...]
We're talking the coolest bands from around the world! Players with a passport, step up.
Unfortunately due to some severe hangovers, we missed Odd Future's set on the Sunday, but apart from that this year's crawl was one of the best in years.
Rainbow Arabia surprend son monde et déboule enfin avec un premier véritable album sous l'égide de Kompakt . Mariant puissance synthétique et volutes exotiques, le duo californien décore de mille couleurs ses mélodies pop sauvages et délurées. Bot'ox joue également à l'ascenseur émotionnel, captivant par un savant mélange d'électronica rétro-futuriste, de post-punk décapant et de krautrock savant. Surfant sur la vague witch house et darkwave, le duo féminin Creep traîne de beats sombres et lancinants, se dressant une image aussi sexy que perverse. Producteur aussi fécond que récréatif, Daedelus , quant à lui, dessine [...]

by I_m_not_here Summery pop: breezy, fresh and enticing. Drop whatever you're holding, fling off you're shoes and dive into the nearest water source.

Hearing Rainbow Arabia's full-length debut for the first time, it's hard to not let the wild diversity of their sound, which calls to mind the radical not-quite-pop of Yeasayer, the freaky worldbeat of Karin Dreijer (of Fever Ray and the Knife fame), and any number of Putumayo-featured world music icons, detract from the songs themselves. Not that there are many of those, anyway. The LA-based pop experimentalist duo's shrill, cacophonous take on world music via electro-pop made waves with the deranged promo video that accompanied buzz single "Omar K" back in 2009, and even bigger waves when the band signed [...]
Rainbow Arabia return with their latest offering Boys and Diamonds, which is a mix of electro and Eastern European elements
You must to peep this. Rainbow Arabia, poised for world domination. Here's the video for "Without You." They told L.A. Record in our interview that the song was the prize after a journey through hell. Danny Preston: 'Without You' was a long harsh journey. We reworked that song so many times but I knew that was a good song. She [Tiffany] went through hell with that song....It's a journey. Read the whole interview. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2r6amY nItng
I first heard Rainbow Arabia 's Boys and Diamonds during its brief stint on Gorilla vs. Bear last January, and have been searching for the track ever since. There's an arab/disco/funk/ Lizzy Mercier Descloux / Gang Gang Dance feel to the track that I can't get enough of, and it makes me wish more artists could be influenced by this sound. Support these artists however you can. [...]
The married Los Angeles couple of Danny and Tiffany Preston get a mention on The Recommender today, after three years of riding the blog buzz, because their debut album, Boys & Diamonds , finally arrived in the last few weeks. We've had the chance to go over it and feel that their work is worthy of a few talking points - none more so than their audacious attempt to bridge a seemingly impossible gap. Rainbow Arabia first appeared on the radar in 2008, with their first work, The Basta EP, followed up [...]
I started thinking of a few things that I underestimate as we enter my favorite time of the year. Daylight Savings time comes to mind. The extra hours of daylight is the best part of the year. Jeff Goldblum in a supporting role, hugely underestimated. I just watched "the Switch," with him, Jason Bateman and Jennifer Aniston. The movie would've sank impressively had it not been for him. Brandon Davies from BYU. I'm almost certain that they underestimated the team without him. BYU would've advanced had it not been for his suspension. Jimmer was out there playing [...]
Part of an elaborate ruse to dupe you into attending this Friday's show . Rainbow Arabia operate in the borderlands between former tour mates Gang Gang Dance and The Knife. Thus far, the comparisons have somewhat overshadowed the music itself - an olla podrida of international styles intended for audiences who have eaten olla podrida (I have not, but it looks disgusting ). Balancing a love of the Subliminal Frequencies compilations with 80s noir-wave pop (Depeche Mode, New Order, OMD)., they incorporate everything from African trance groove to Middle [...]
On several occasions, the music of Rainbow Arabia has sent me running from the room, its mish-mosh of beats and seemingly willful abrasiveness adding up to hipster posing rather than anything truly avant-garde. (Their theater-clearing supporting set for Julian Casablancas in late 2009 was evidence my ears were not alone.) That said, the husband-and-wife team of Danny and Tiffany Preston have their champions; they were darlings of the eclectic Manimal Vinyl label, and they were picked up by respected German imprint Kompakt for their new album "Boys and Diamonds." The new song "Without You" is their most palatable [...]
