Photos and words by Leslie Kalohi It’s hard to believe that !!! (or Chk Chk Chk) have been making albums for more than a decade, and the raucous party they brought to the El Rey Theatre showed there’s still no slowing down for this band. With a blend of danceable punk rock and high energy, as well as vocalist Nic Offer’s pelvic-thrusting antics, !!! have solidified their status as a must see live act. Using the edge of the stage as his own private catwalk, Offer shimmied up and down in short-shorts and a tee [...]

All you have to do is let us know on our Facebook page why you really want to see the band play this weekend (if you tweet about it and add both of us on Facebook it would not hurt as well).

It truly takes some beating, does Californian nonchalance and L.A. trio The Gloss are palpably oozing sodding oodles of the stuff. Words is the first I've yet heard of 'em, and the rich imagery it so instantly evokes is the stuff of tousled hair soused with estival sweat; sand-encrusted toes; seasons ravaged by the sun. "Whatever – it's all the same" or so they say, as rusty jangle combines with noirish, protuberant bass and crunky drum machine though whatever it is they've got, I want to gorge heedlessly on an intense abundance of it posthaste. More of the [...]

It’s the week sandwiched between Coachella festivals and White Arrows is rocking out to a young audience in Orange County, California when something mistakenly becomes unplugged; they handle it like champions, playing a prolonged surf rock jam to pass the time. It was easy to tell from their demeanor that they were all shot from the previous weekend’s events but they played through it such like a band with many more years behind them. I met Los Angeles-based White Arrows at The Observatory to exchange pleasantries before accompanying the group on a whirlwind weekend that would feature many [...]

Photos and words by Sam Saturday You could practically feel the desert in the air as The Faint and White Arrows teamed up to play the Observatory between their Coachella dates. In the process, White Arrows psyched up the crowd with cool jams, mostly from their full length Dry Land Is Not A Myth . Nebraskans The Faint turned around the cool vibe set by their opener with some glitchy throbbing rhythms. Their frenetic stage presence matched the energy of their songs, including favorites “Desperate Guys”, “The Geeks Were Right”, and “Agenda Suicide” and some brand [...]

Two of L.A.'s most inventive indie alchemists get together in this new version of "Roll Forever," the lead track on White Arrows' 2012 debut "Dry Land Is Not a Myth" — here, the track is sent rolling down a steep hill by Hands .

The album promises Hands' signature intricate song structures, colliding [...]

Photo courtesy: Mike Rosati Photography Day three of Noise Pop 2013 brought a varied lineup to the Great American Music Hall , where dance punk outfits The Yellow Dogs and !!! sandwiched sets by Southern California-based outfit White Arrows and San Francisco's own psych-surf band The Mallard . On paper, these bands make up a tight program of post punk, psychedelic-tinged sound, but what we got was a melting pot of different [...]

GRIMES is a Canadian artist that can best be described as a hybrid of Bjork and Mariah Carey. At the age of 25 she already has three albums to her name. Her latest album 'Visions' boasts the omnipresent single ‘Oblivion’ and is regarded as one of the top releases in 2012. If you like what you hear then definitely pick up a copy, as a vast majority of her set at Coachella will surely be picked from this album. Grimes’ live performance incorporates her looping beats, melodies and her voice on the fly which creates a sonic soundscape. [...]
