Popular With Me 2012: Buzz Bands LA’s favorite local albums of the year

Dec 20, 2012, 4:23pm Buzz Bands
What a year. More than 140 Los Angeles-sired albums passed through the Buzz Bands LA headphones this year, not counting EPs, mixtapes and singles. Judging from the detritus at my desk — handwritten lists, stacks of CDs, press releases — and my unopened emails, there were a lot more out there. It came in all flavors. 2012 was a robust year for folkies and faux-folkies, hard rock and harder rock, for electro and popgazers, for scads of seemingly interchangeable garage-rockers, for radio bands and scruffy DIYers, for electronic dance music and electronic dumb music, for R&B and glitch&B [...]

Something I Heard Today Robert Francis – Heroin Lovers

Oct 2, 2012, 11:14pm either/or
Something I Heard Today Robert Francis – Heroin Lovers It is a good thing that Hugh and I have differing tastes in music. Otherwise, either/or would be quite dull! Well, more dull than usual anyway. However, there are times when we align up quite strongly on music, and here is a mighty fine example of it. Following up on the Robert Francis post yesterday, I have for you... more Robert Francis! Yes indeed, the man is some kind of generator of awesomeness, and this tune is significantly different enough from yesterday's to warrant a good listen. It has a sombre, country-ish feel to it, sung with, [...]

Watch: Robert Francis - "Eighteen"

Jul 9, 2012, 2:29pm Direct Current
Robert Francis - "Eighteen" Acoustic at Boulevard Recording
In a more perfect and just world, Robert Francis ' "Eighteen" would be one of those pervasive summer hits that seem to be drifting out of nearly every radio speaker and earbud. Alas, with nary a dance beat, auto-tune or sing-song playground melody in earshot -- de rigueur for mainstream pop radio -- we'll have to settle for good ol' word-of-mouth. Taken from his May album Strangers In the First Place "Eighteen" scurries with one of those propulsive, shuffling 80's backbeats that pulls you in and then [...]

Win tickets to see Robert Francis perform at The Basement on Monday, June 18

Jun 15, 2012, 4:48pm donewaiting.com
Though he's just in his mid-20s, Robert Francis sings like somebody who has lived a full life and has experienced hardships along the way. When he was in town a few years ago opening for Fanfarlo , I mentioned that he brought to mind Bad Blake (Jeff Bridge's character from Crazy Heart ) had Blake been a rock club singer rather than a broken-hearted country crooner. On Strangers in the First Place , released in May by Vanguard Records, Francis hasn't strayed from the style of music found on his previous [...]

Robert Francis, 'Heroin Lovers' -- Video of the Day

Jun 4, 2012, 6:14pm Spinner.com
Filed under: Video of the Day Artist: Robet Francis Video: "Heroin Lovers" Highlight: "One could already see the full moon hanging like a pendulum in the morning sky," Robert Francis tells Spinner. "I was late, as always, and reunited with my touring band of 2010. I brought them a bottle of moonshine. Clay drew the faders, I said, 'Count to four, throw me my guitar and let's roll.' That's how it happened, and that's how it will forever remain." [...]

Robert Francis – Strangers in the First Place album review

Jun 4, 2012, 9:59am MVRemix Rock
The sign of a great album is one without any tracks listeners want to skip. One where, when the song you’re listening to ends, you can’t wait until the next one starts, because it’s just so good that you want it to go on endlessly. Robert Francis’s third album, Strangers in the First Place, is that kind of album. The songs are mature and smooth, the melodies are upbeat and Francis’s voice is crisp, sincere and captivating. The folksy smooth rock songs on this album will transport you to a place where all aspects of life seem [...]

Robert Francis rights some wrongs at the Troubadour

May 24, 2012, 5:47pm Buzz Bands
Robert Francis rights some wrongs at the Troubadour Everything that could go wrong Wednesday night at Robert Francis' record-release show did. And in a strange way, it made everything go right. For the first chunk of the show at the Troubadour — celebrating this week's release of the singer-songwriter's third album, "Strangers in the First Place" — the unconscionably chatty crowd who all but sabotaged Leslie Stevens' sublime opening set continued to blab as if the doormen had made them spit out their manners, and not just their gum, when they entered the venue. Francis' able four-piece, which doesn't exactly turn anything up to [...]

Robert Francis: Strangers in the First Place

"Some Things Never Change" Acoustic at Boulevard Recording
Robert Francis crafts a more than worthy follow-up to his acclaimed debut, One by One . Robert Francis' musical history informs his sound and that's a very good thing. From being given his very first guitar by Ry Cooder to being accepted as John Frusciante's only student, there's a path littered with great musicians creating lasting moments. They've clearly made an impression on the young Francis, along with his own family. His mother sang Ranchera songs, his father produced records and played piano, and both of his sisters sang. With that...

Robert Francis - Strangers In the First Place

Robert Francis - "Alibi" Acoustic at Boulevard Recording
Singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Robert Francis embraces not only his lifelong L.A. surroundings but also what he calls the fleeting "wholesome feeling of youthful naiveté" on his strikingly assured album Strangers in the First Place (May 22 , Vanguard) . Recorded in a rented oceanside house in Malibu and produced by Martin Pradler ( Ry Cooder ), the new project futher expands the sound and vision Francis established on his 2009 sophomore LP Before Nightfall [...]
