With M. Ward having postponed his Orpheum date until Feb. 7 (" I am sick as a brick and bedridden," he said in apologizing to fans), here are tonight's outings: ► Huge night for the local Innovative Leisure imprint: R&B time traveler Nick Waterhouse brings his band to the El Rey Theatre, supported by surf-pop specialists Allah-Las . That's Allah-Las' video for "Busman's Holiday," above. ► Former Eagles lead guitarist Don Felder and his quintet headlines the Troubadour behind the release of his latest album "Road to Forever."

It's all in with Stab City , the rabid howling, drum smashing and big crashing collisions – loud as hell, with a singer who sounds like he may have lost it and a sense of frantic anger that takes them from explosive cacophony to breakdown with no sense of build-up but only whimsical ups and downs. Quite a ride, of that 'blow-off-some-steam' trash/punk designed for all who like to get a little mental by the stage and follow into frenzy some epileptic guitars and gritty basslines - straight from the gutter to your eardrums. They'll be playing [...]
Unlike me, the Zig Zags had not forgotten my review of their recent single. “You hated the B-Side!” one of their taller members told me in a slightly uncomfortable back porch conversation. No, I didn’t hate it, I said ... well, maybe I said some pretty mean things, but luckily the dudes were pretty cool about it—and hey, I still love the A-side, “Scavenger,” which they ended their set with. It’s nearly impossible not to pump your fist and bang your head to; even though I was more or less the only one doing this, I think it’s [...]
The best thing about writing for L.A. RECORD is having cool friends who do some fucked up, weird shit. I'm talking "no compelling reason, no immediate gain, multiple-hours-of-effort-and-m aybe-only-five-people-will-car e-or-maybe-50003 type shit. And I love it. I also love interviewing huge bands-Public Enemy, Primal Scream, Earl Scruggs-and being the first one to get the hot new album by, say, Best Coast, before it's even in stores. But I think it's even more a part of L.A. RECORD's mission statement to tell readers about the strange ones: the bedroom recording wizards, the ones with greasepaint on their foreheads, the ones who [...]

This video is also from early 2010... While we were paying our monthly visit to our ol' friend Arlo at Mr. T's Bowl one night and were lucky enough to catch most of Stab City's set. Not sure how any Angeleno could miss one of their shows since they play a ton of'em, anywhere and everywhere. We actually just caught them the other night at The Satellite, not even knowing they were on the lineup,

DJ Margot (I.E.) by Amy Darling Independence Festival organizers succeeded in convincing a couple-hundred concert goers to drive two hours into the middle of nowhere in the desert, through nearly abandoned rocky dirt roads with only a geo-location on a Google map and waning reception to guide us. Bestial Mouths kicked everything off, and So Many Wizards followed up with an energetic set on the heels of the release of their new Inner City single. Son of Cecil played next followed by Halloween Swim Team, who got everyone moving to their own brand of synthpop, closing [...]

photography by Travis Moore As always, Stab City rocked my freakin socks off, and left me with hematoma bruises on both my hips. With songs like, "Los Barboudos" and "The Psychic," the L'Keg crowd was thrasing, falling, laughing, and possibly crying. Aftergloam is a great band that is beginning to make some big noises in the L.A. [...]

Stab City (Los Angeles, CA) It's been a long ass time since I've seen a band live that just ABSOLUTELY FLOORED ME . Last year it was Crystal Antlers and Avi Buffalo . The year before The Henry Clay People . Last night I witnessed what is assuredly one of the most pulse pounding raw live bands I have seen in a long time - STAB CITY . The band is doing [...]
