Big Photos / photo by David Greenwal d Friendly reminder: if you're in Los Angeles on Saturday, you could do worse than plunking down $5 to take in a handful of L.A.'s finest bands at the annual Brokechella one-day festival downtown. It'll be the last show for a while for Big Moves, one of my local favorites (and favorites, period), before an indefinite hiatus, so expect a set to remember. Some new details on the fest, which Rawkblog is sponsoring: they'll have $3 beer and wine from 4-6 p.m. and cheap eats from Starry Kitchen all day. (And [...]

Big Moves / photo by David Greenwald As usual, here are my recs for the week: Monday : You can see three of L.A.'s best unsigned bands at the Bootleg Bar tonight: Big Moves, LA Font and yOya. Free!

Lord Huron / all photos by David Greenwald For the last 13 months, I've written a weekly column first for Brand X and currently the Los Angeles Times dubbed L.A. Unheard. The goal is to point out promising new local artists; during a short-lived concert series, we gave them the chance to play some cool shows, too. I've tried very hard to avoid hype and trends and go with my gut, which means the column's probably missed a lot of fresh electro and hip-hop, though we've managed to catch Foster the People, Hanni El Khatib [...]
The eclectic jazz-pop of L.A. quintet Big Moves can sometimes seem like an exercise in musical aerobics as much as songwriting, but their adventurous spirit and labyrinthine arrangements will appeal to sophisticates who like their artists to color outside the lines. The group's new "Lanterns" EP — the follow-up to 20082s album "In the Beginning" — finds Jess Imme's nimble, clarion vocals playing hopscotch with the piano and guitar lines and percussion laid out by bandmates Blake Straus, David Corwin, Taylor Dexter and Wes Singerman. "Parrot" chirps with almost mathematical precision; "Groundbreaking Studies" has a ’90s [...]
Of legends and locals: ► Robert Plant and the Band of Joy , joined by North Mississippi Allstars , play the Greek Theatre. ► Prince does another night at the Forum. ► The Big Four — Metallica, Slayer, Megadeath and Anthrax — take over the Coachella stages at the Empire Polo Club for a collision of heavy metal. ► Daedelus (pictured at Coachella) teams up with Tokimonsta and Shlohmo for a beat-driven show at the Glass House. ► And Big [...]

Rawkblog Presents: Brokechella 2012
From left: yOya, LA Font and Big Moves / Photos by David Greenwald With our successful SXSW party behind us and the summer festival season mouth-wateringly close, Rawkblog is proud to be a sponsor of Brokechella 2012, an alternative to that paycheck-eating event down in the desert. Brokechella is a wallet-friendly $5 show at downtown L.A.'s Six01 Studios with a number of Rawkblog favorites, including LA Font, Big Moves, yOya and the Dead Ships, as well as Rumspringa, Infantree and more.

BEST OF 2011 : Songs | Albums (soon) | EPs/Singles | Discoveries/Heavy Rotation | Photos A really good year!

Best of 2011: Favorite EPs/Singles of the Year
If 2010 was the year of the EP , 2011 was the year of the... not EP. While 73s and Bandcamp singles haven't killed the album off just yet, there was no shortage of tasty bite-size release this year. 10. Wet Years - Sleepy Cove cassette From the opening moments of "No Surf" - guitar murmurings that sound like gulls' cries - Wet Years make their beach allegiance clear, but the band dips into reverb only for the final brushstrokes on an [...]

Video: Big Moves, ‘Inspiration as a Recurring Theme’
Nobody in these parts quite sounds like Big Moves , the L.A. quintet that ties jazzy sophistication and punk energy into stylish knot and adorns it with a bow of Jess Imme's powerful vocals. They set the bar high with their 2008 album "In the Beginning," and their "Lanterns" EP earlier this year demonstrated that Imme, Blake Straus, Wes Singerman, David Cowin and Taylor Dexter have no interest in dumbing anything down. This month the fivesome embarked on a project called "Big Moves Mondays," which will see the band release a single and a video on the [...]

Happy Monday .. no, I really mean that: ► Louisiana-based quintet Givers bring the exuberant pop off their debut album "In Light" to the Troubadour — it's their second swing through L.A. in three months (they were good at the Bootleg in June), and this time they'll get to do the Jimmy Kimmel Show (on Tuesday).
