The 2nd New Los Angeles Folk Fest goes off Saturday in a strange, wonderful and probably overheated place known as Zorthian Ranch in Altadena. To give you a taste of the event's deliriously eclectic lineup — the music ranges from old-timey, the fractured folk to psychedelia, with a lot in between — this edition of our Buzzsicle mixtapes is devoted to 10 of the artists playing Saturday. Enjoy. ||| Download: Buzzsicle 15 ||| Also: After the jump, the tracklist, [...]

This record is absolutely stunning, The Stevenson Ranch Davidians make beautiful laid back trippy indie rock. They're from Los Angeles but have a very English sound that is instantly likeable this band could very easily come out of Manchester which they actually list as one of their influences, at the same time they have a very distinctive sound that is their own. Opening track 'Nothing's Cliché'
The Davidians were featured on the excellent Psychedelica Volume One compilation with the reverb-heavy, swooning 'Getting By'. This is included here on this twelve-track album, which follows similar stylistic themes to that track: blissed-out shoegazing guitar music with one foot in the dreamy Californian desert of the late '60s, the other in the introspective, effects-drenched world of Ride,

[Quick reviews of a whole slew albums I received late in the year and didn't get a chance to acknowledge:] The Stevenson Ranch Davidians , "Life & Death" (self-released) — The L.A. quartet's sophomore release has all the fuel for a psych-pop burner — gently rolling melodies, gorgeous guitar textures, plenty of allusions and excursions to the cosmos — but the L.A. quartet never puts the pedal to the metal. "Life & Death's" Verve-meets-the-Byrds-in-slow- motion vibe is almost maddening at [...]
Even when he's not backed by his band Thrice, O.C.'s Dustin Kensrue [pictured] has some pretty formidable songwriting chops, as he displayed on his solo album "Please Come Home," released two years ago this month. Kensrue gets top billing on a tour called "Where's the Band?" — which features the frontmen of four rock bands going it by themselves. Kensrue, along with Matt Pryor of the Get Up Kids, Chris Conley of Saves the Day and Anthony Raneri of Bayside, hits the Troubadour tonight. ... The Rumble LA rumbles back [...]

"Cosmic Blues" is another b3sci fav from LA county's The Stevenson Ranch Davidians. off their new LP Life & Death .. The Stevenson Ranch Davidians - Cosmic Blues myspace getitgetitgetit rating: 7.4
It's getting close to that time of the year when the rivers are filled with trout. One of the things I love most about Cleveland is "Steelhead Alley", it's one of the best places in the world to get into a battle with a steelhead trout. They are big, they are strong, and they'll bite you, ok maybe they won't bite you, but they have teeth, so don't put your hands in their mouth. Some people love to eat them, I prefer to throw them back. Steelhead's pretty tastey, but I hate cleaning fish. There's nothing better than getting down [...]
LA county's The Stevenson Ranch Davidians make some truly inspiring folk music on their new LP Life & Death . they're a new favorite here at b3sci, shouts to Curt for the heads up, and how can you not dig the sunniness and stomping soulful vibes on "Feelin Good"?? sure their band name definitely sounds like a cult, but when they're chanting "feel like feelin' good" it's like, YYYEP sign us up!! haha, still not sold? check this album artwork, these guys definitely party with this guy .. dig it dec The Stevenson [...]
( 1 votes, average: 5 out of 5) Loading ... La buona musica ti trova sempre. Ti rintraccia in qualche modo e si fa sentire di brutto. Anche quando avevi deciso che per più di un mese con l'indie non avresti avuto più niente da spartire ecco qua che qualcosa succede. Una band di cui ti eri completamente dimenticato spunta fuori dal nulla travestitosi da cassetta delle poste per l'occasione [...]
What the f*@k is a flying tourbillon? It's the curse of every band whose name doesn't exactly roll off the tongue or fall within our limited vocabulary range. They end up having to explain it repeatedly to us dumbfounded audience members not geekepedia enough to have looked it up. And such is the burden of The Flying Tourbillon Orchestra, whose flare for novel wordplay no doubt inspired the
