It was a night of comings and goings at Eastside clubs on Tuesday night. At the Bootleg Theater, the Belle Brigade — a sextet populated by talent familiar on the L.A. scene playing to a crowd dotted by musicians with whom they've shared stages — announced themselves as folk-rock contenders with a set of exuberant, poignant Americana. Later, at the Echo, the Parson Red Heads — a collective populated by talent familiar on the L.A. scene playing to a crowd dotted by musicians with whom they've shared stages — played their final L.A. club [...]
[Happy birthday, Joan Jett. Now for a busy Thursday night ...] Top 5 places to be tonight (at one time, if you're really good): ☛ Maybe you remember Cloud Cult's raucous set at Coachella in 2009. Maybe you like to see live painting onstage while a band performs. Maybe you're heard the Minneapolis art-pop collective's new album "Light Chaser" is really good, in a typically all-over-the-map way. Then you probably already know they're at the Roxy tonight. [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , New Music , Exclusive In January 2010, when the Airborne Toxic Event had just finished a run of 354 shows in support of their first album, frontman Mikel Jollett predicted that their second LP would be about life on the road . Now that the record is finished, Jollett tells Spinner that's not exactly the case. "I'd say three or four of them are actual road [...]

The Airborne Toxic Event is a band that means an awful lot to me. They're the first band I ever covered and wrote about online, having made their appearance in Washington in March 2009. Having seen them wow a massive crowd at the 9:30 Club last autumn , I was feeling quite unsure on how they were going to go over in the hallowed confines of Sixth and I Synagogue, known more for their folk and classical gig nights. The show was even more unique as it was billed as an acoustic [...]

Indie mockumentary "The Scenesters" seems to have all the makings of a Buzz Bands favorite — lots of music by familiar people (the Airborne Toxic Event, the Cribs, Le Switch, the Franks are among those populating the soundtrack), plenty of laughs, a little mystery and some dead hipsters. Yes, it's only a ceremonial burning of Wavves albums away from an Oscar. On Friday, the movie begins a seven-day run at the Downtown Independent, and the film's music supervisor, local scribe Chris Martins , has turned the screenings into a mini-festival, with two bands performing after the [...]

The Airborne Toxic Event have only been together since 2006, yet they have already emerged as contenders for hardest working band in all of music. In December of last year, the Los Angeles based band played a hometown show at internationally renowned Walt Disney Concert Hall, which marked the final performance in support of their self-titled debut album. A stellar experience for sure, but what make it even more remarkable was the fact that it was live show #354. Remember the part about The Airborne Toxic Event being the hardest working band around? To mark this occasion, [...]

Saddle Creek Many little bits and pieces to get through before I head out to Chicago for the Pitchfork Music Festival , and any randomness in this post was compounded by the fact that I became an uncle for the first time last night. Yay babies. With seven years past since their last album and numerous solo projects and albums between them in the interim, you'd be forgiven for assuming that Maria Taylor and Orenda Fink had gone their separate ways for good. But their hiatus has turned out [...]

What was your previous line of employment? For me, I was a dishwasher. When I moved to the states I had the pleasure of dealing with the INS and their ineptitude, so I wasn't able to work for almost a year until I got my green card. When I did get the card I took the first job I could, which just so happened to be in a country club washing dishes for rich people. Gotta start somewhere, right? Well the reason I ask/mention is that Brock Enright's previous job was kidnapping. Yeah, he kidnapped the shit out of people, [...]
