LA Art rockers Shadow Shadow Shade have a new song & video. Hope to hear a new record soon! Watch: Will Hold Still

The epic pop jam of Shadow Shadow Shade turns to jelly a little bit in the latest song from the Los Angeles sextet, "Maybe I Could Love." The band's 2010 debut album was described in turns as cinematic and "poperatic" — a rousing indie cocktail of Queen, Arcade Fire, Pink Floyd and the Mamas and the Papas — but recently the band (Brian Canning, Steven Scott, Aaron Burrows, Brent Turner, Tom Biller and Claire McKeown) allowed as how it was going to release songs in small batches, or as singles, rather than embark on another full-length. "Maybe I [...]

There's not much to the video except a lot of slow-mo detonations, but the news is that Shadow Shadow Shade , with little fanfare, unveiled a new song this morning. "Tell Me Who You Are" is a languid ballad featuring a Brian Canning/Claire McKeown duet. The song will be part of a three-track release the Los Angeles sextet is planning for its own new label, Public Records. And if you're new to Shadow Shadow Shade, here's a one-sentence primer: Shadow Shadow Shade is an L.A. six-piece, originally called the Afternoons, formed from the ashes of Irving (2001-07), that deals [...]

The 13th annual Eagle Rock Music Festival has it wired. The daylong neighborhood affair along Colorado Boulevard will feature 11 scions of the L.A. beat scene — the Low End Theory stage boasts performances by Flying Lotus, Nosaj Thing and the Gaslamp Killer, among others — and enough of this city's top indie music to make a junction function. Health, Shadow Shadow Shade, Rooney and Mia Doi Todd are among the artists playing the festival's eight stages. The festival runs from 4 to 11 [...]

Because we're optimistic, we're going to assume that the embattled Sunset Junction Street Fair is actually going to happen. And on today's Buzz Bands LA show on Moheak Radio , we'll preview the festival — and chat with Brian Canning and Claire McKeown of Shadow Shadow Shade (playing 5:15 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 27 on the Edgecliffe Stage), each of whom are bringing music contributions for something of a "song-off." Trash will be talked. I'll play a couple of tracks from my Sunset Strip Music Festival mixtape too, so you get an idea of what's going [...]

Talk about heavy messages. Shadow Shadow Shade's life-affirming anthem "Say Yes" has been paired up with mini-documentary by O'Shea Read on an immigrant worker named Alonso Alejo Lopez. Flowers. ||| Live: Shadow Shadow Shade plays Saturday, Aug. 27, at Sunset Junction, and Saturday, Sept. 17, at Lobsterfest.

The summer concert fun is never over until you've wiped the butter from your chin. Which is to say that the Port of Los Angeles Lobster Festival is approaching — the three day event is Sept. 16, 17 and 18, and the lineup, again curated by ex-Indie 103.1 music director Mark Sovel , offers some of the best local bands around playing an outdoor stage at Ports O'Call Village in San Pedro. After kicking off Friday night with the triple-headliner bill of White Arrows , Andy Clockwise and the Fling , [...]

Tonight's touts: ► Portland rockers Portugal. The Man are doing it right on the day their new album "In the Mountain in the Cloud" is released. They're on KCRW this morning, and do two shows later, a 4:30 p.m. acoustic set and a cozy show at El Cid (both of which will be webcast on UStream ). Entry into the El Cid show is free with proof of purchase of the new album. Meanwhile, that's the video for the new song "Got It All (Can't Be Living Now)," above. ► Shadow [...]

More than one participant — and even the attendees felt like participants — at Saturday night's Tribute to the Movies likened the affair to an Irish wake. There were songs and drinks and tears and photos and video projections, and all of it was very good, if not cathartic. The Movies , beloved Silver Lakers whose uncompromising music ("post-punk on a new wave bender," I wrote once) won plenty of fans and probably should have won more, are gone now, their mercurial lead singer Timothy James now ensconced on the other coast. But their irony-laden tunes lived on through [...]

Tonight's recommendations, and more: ► The Henry Clay People , last spotted working up an afternoon sweat at Coachella, return to the cozy confines of the Satellite for the first of two nights celebrating the release of their new EP "This Is a Desert." The great supporting cast includes Shadow Shadow Shade , Apex Manor and the Dig . ► The Kills , behind their new album "Blood Pressures," play the Music Box, with Cold Cave opening. ► Billy Corgan-endorsed Urge Overkill is back [...]

It's an embarrassment of riches on the show scene tonight: ► Oh, the memories: Lou Barlow has assembled a version of Sebadoh (with Jason Lowenstein and Fiery Furnances Bob D'Amico) for the "Bakesale/Harmacy Remembering Time Tour," marking the re-releases of the 1994 and 1996 albums, respectively. They hit the Troubadour tonight, with Quasi opening. ► Shadow Shadow Shade's exhilarating residency at the Satellite comes to an end — the L.A. septet tonight is supported by / the Silver Lake Chorus and Twilight Sleep , as well [...]

So BEACH HOUSE @ The Music Box is sold out, and the town is full of shows this evening, but the sleeper and real steal of the night is happening at The Satellite as SHADOW SHADOW SHADE continue their February residency and heads up a lineup that's powerful from top to bottom.
