"Anytime you heard R2-D2 make that "beep-bop-whistle" sound, you knew it was time to turn the page. Yeah, I spun wax as a kid." "I had a hand-me-down Fisher Price record player and I'd spin these 45s that came with read along, picture books for kids. Each one had a specific sound cue for when you were supposed to flip the page. I remember having Empire Strikes Back, Puff the Magic Dragon, and some others I've since forgotten. As time went on, I moved to LPs; A Chipmunks Christmas album [...]
If you needed something a little stronger and biting than the recent dance-pop drink specials, look no further. Following their initial EP’s, Look Alive People and Sugar , Wake Up Lucid has released their debut full-length album, Feel It —a forgivably ill-recorded work of three cousins: Ryan, Ian and Jamie Baca. Making garage rock as Wake Up Lucid does comes with its ups and downs. On one side, there is very little room for error; choppy guitar playing, poor production and bad singing are not only accepted within the genre, but sometimes even revered [...]
Here's your super Saturday: ► Jack White does a second night at the Shrine Auditorium in support of his album "Blunderbuss." ► Austin's psychedelic rockers White Denim headline the Troubadour with L.A. band Seasons as support. ► '80s pop legends Duran Duran continue touring and stop by the the Pacific Amphitheatre. ► Red Hot Chili Peppers plays a rescheduled date at the Staples Center in support of "I'm With You Outtakes." ► The one and only Neil Diamond headlines [...]
Astronauts, etc. - "Mystery Colors" Quiet dream pop that is introspective, but not whiny like Bon Iver. Sorry, I'm feeling a bit snarky today. Astronauts, etc is Anthony Ferraro out of Berkeley. He is releasing Supermelodic Pulp on September 8th. Check out the video below. - Dots Will Echo - "I'm A Monkey" from Drunk Is The New Sober / Stupid Is The New Dumb [...]
By Cassandra Paiva Los Angeles trio of cousins, Wake Up Lucid debut their first LP Feel It on August 7th. The album provides that scuzzy, bluesy rock that almost sounds like it belongs more in the Woodstock era than in today’s mashed up mess of musical mishaps. Their sound is a great revitalization of the classic riffs, heavy jams, and scratchy vocals that defined an era. As they say, history repeats itself, and it’s been far too long since this ...
Wake Up Lucid is a LA based three piece band of cousins that combines sex-drenched vocals, high octane guitar, and a glorious lo-fi sludge that is garage rock at its purest and most dangerous. More grime than the Black Keys and far more savage than The White Stripes, their 2011 Sugar EP was described by Rolling Stone as “ raunchy rock at it’s best ”. Their debut album is due out on 7th August, and the title track delivers a raw, primordial riff that will peel the paint from the walls before it [...]
The lo-fi treble on "Where Are We Now" will blast through your veins and clot up your throat. The track offers up a ruckus hiss of genuine garage rock and pop sentiment from the young LA based trio Wake Up Lucid. "Where Are We Now" is previewed from the band's forthcoming and debut LP titled Feel It which sees release on August 7. Give it a spin below. Wake Up Lucid - Where Are We Now Wake Up Lucid [...]
For when we're feeling especially obscure, we turn to the Sonic Stews: random sights and (free to download) sounds for your brain to munch on. Enjoy. -Matt
Wake Up Lucid doesn't make nice. Not musically, anyway. The band of cousins — Ryan, Ian and Jamie Baca — mete out scuzzy blues you imagine sprung from gear that barely works, seething with emotion and crackling with defiance toward those who would water down rock ’n’ roll for the digital age. After thundering onto the scene with the EPs "Look Alive People" and "Sugar," the Bacas found an ally in producer Joe Cardamone (the Icarus Line), who worked with them on their debut full-length (due in August). The album is titled, fittingly, "Feel It," [...]
CANNONEERS, WAKE UP LUCID, THE BIXBY KNOLLS, AND THE ICARUS LINE ON MONDAY MAY 30TH AT THE ECHO, 1822 WEST SUNSET BOULEVARD, LOS ANGELES. 8:30PM/ FREE/ 21+
Wake Up Lucid, purveyors of clear-eyed, flannel-clad garage rock, were one of my recent picks for L.A. Unheard , my local music column over at Brand X. Here's "Sugar," the band's anthem for a scorned lover and one of this year's best guitar efforts. Wake Up Lucid - "Sugar": mp3 (The Sugar EP is out now; photo credit: Dominick Camera)
Nothing moribund about this Monday: ► Hanni El Khatib opens the second week of the Rumspringa residency at the Bootleg Theater, which also features Moses Campbell . ► Rabbits Rabbits Rabbits supports at this week's Walking Sleep residency at the Satellite. ► Leslie Stevens (of the Badgers' fame) plays ahead of resident Amanda Jo Williams at the Echo. ► The Steelwells and Nightfur are on the bill at the Silverlake Lounge for Wake Up Lucid's [...]

![[Introducing] – Wake Up Lucid](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3240939_lg.jpg)
It's a family affair, y'all. The cousins Barca (Ryan Barca, Ian Barca, Jamie Barca) are Wake Up Lucid, aka the music you've been waiting for. Reppin' Los Angeles (HOLLER!) these guys have been making a splash in California and deserve some more national cred. I've been hearing about them for some time now, so when I saw the email in the subs box I had to jump on it. It's time to get back to the roots of rock and roll, the simple lo-fi sound of garage chords and a hunk on the mic singing about girls that [...]
"Paint Your Lips" is the new single from local trio Wake Up Lucid off their recent EP, Sugar. What starts with a four count, ends with sex-drenched vocals, high octane guitar, and a glorious drum solo outro. The band holds true to their blend 70's blues driven British rock and balls-to-the-wall garage lo-fi across all five new tracks, while title track "Sugar" gets my nod as another song to pay special attention to. If you braved the cold and the rain, you may have seen them a few nights ago at Origami Vinyl, but if you [...]
This week's Best New Releases include some big time albums, including the newest LP from one of our favorite bands, Bright Eyes. After having listened to The People's Key a number of times, not only is it Bright Eyes in true form, The People's Key may be their best album of all.

L.A.'s Wake Up Lucid lit a few sparks in late 2009 for those who appreciate stripped-down rock and roll with a fierce blues foundation. Their debut EP "Look Alive People," which featured crackling tunes such as "A Minor" and "Black Haired Woman," demonstrated that going back to old-fashioned songwriting and enhancing it with gritty vocals, intricate shredding and solid bass lines can come off much more appealing than lugging around superfluities like most new bands tend to do. The family affair of cousins Ryan, Ian and Jamie Baca continue their foray into the local music scene [...]
