I woke up early yet still stumbled into Dillon's Roadhouse late; the last chord of Barbarians (not My Barbarian! Maybe your Barbarians…) struck as I hobbled in on my high heels. It was a great chord! But hopefully next time I'll hear more. And I was actually one of the early ones. Nature's Son was a great band that didn't have the crowd they deserved, though that meant I got a better view of 'em. They had a total Strange Boys/lazy garage vibe, which was perfect on a sunny day like today. [...]
Sometimes bands come together in strange and mysterious ways, but Deap Vally — yess, thatz how they spel it — might be the first collaboration to start over crochet hooks. Singer-guitarist Lindsey Troy met drummer Julie Edwards when Troy took a needlework class at Edwards' shop the Little Knittery in Atwater Village.

Their early recordings cover the familiar scorched-earth territory of [...]

What was fast becoming a complete shitfest of a day got completely turned around when the download link for the new Nerd Parade LP showed up in my inbox this afternoon. That's right, Atlanta! There's a new Nerd Parade joint, it's called Daylight Savings Time , and it's available right now for a measly $3 from the group's Bandcamp page. Get on it! I haven't had the opportunity to give it a proper listen, but if the album's first single, "Pity Party," is any indication we should be in for plenty of driving [...]

Last Saturday I spent the afternoon at the Echoplex for the 826LA Chickens In Love mini-music festival/benefit. I'd been to some of 826's events and writing workshops in the past so I headed over in search of a fun time for a good cause, and was definitely not disappointed.When I arrived fashionably late at 1:30 there were clumps of people milling about the dark space eating pizza from the bar
