Photos and words by Leslie Kalohi My first introduction to Criminal Hygiene came when they opened for The Orwells at the Echo back in February. When I saw guitarist/vocalist Michael Fiore donning a Wilco T-shirt, I knew I would dig these guys. Then there was a raucous cover of Devo’s “Uncontrollable Urge.” It all came together during the frenzied crescendo with freakouts by bassist/vocalist James Watson. By the end of the set, Fiore body was wrapped around drummer Sean Erickson like a mink stole. Since then, I couldn’t help but be completely [...]

Zig Zags are a worthy addition to the flourishing underground punk scene in and around Los Angeles. The trio play an infectious brand of fuzzy punk and rock n roll and have released a number of great singles over the last couple of years. Their latest effort is a limited cassette release on Burger Records that features released and unreleased songs from 2010-12. Check out my favourite songs – Wastin’ My Time , Monster Wizard and Turbo Hit - from [...]

MP3: Zig Zags - Scavenger MP3: Zig Zags - Monster Wizard I was looking at Styrofoam Drone 's list of the top 30 7 inches of 2012 and Zig Zags , who I had not heard before, showed up twice (at #22 and #1).

Photos by Walter Sy The Echo sure held it together for such a tight and crazy crowd for King Tuff. Locals Zig Zags & and Lovely Bad Things opened the night with their intense sets, setting things up for crazier times ahead. [View with PicLens] [...]
Though they only formed in the last year, Los Angeles scuzz-punk trio Zig Zags already have the approval of at least one icon: Iggy Pop. The Stooges frontman recently joined the lads for a raucous cover of Betty Davis' 1973 track "If I'm in Luck I Might Get Picked Up. For further proof that the band has that special, punky piss and vinegar in their veins, one must only turn to their song "Turbo Hit" and its accompanying music video. Aurally, they've found a niche between a sort of leaner, more minimalistic Sticky Fingers [...]
Small Business Saturday, the independent retailers' plea for attention after Black Friday, fell on the same day as Bill hits the record stores Saturday this year, as it does pretty much every year. There were still some special Black Friday releases left over at My Mind's Eye Records in Lakewood, my second stop of the day, but those weren't the ones that caught my attention. Over at the 73 section, I scoped out and then picked up three of Light in the Attic's 10th Anniversary singles: Iggy Pop and the Zig Zags covering Betty Davis' "If I'm [...]
