Although the Crocodiles took the stage at the Hollywood Palladium to a lack-luster crowd (all waiting for Oz's Temper Trap) it was clear that the energy provided by singer Brandon Welchez and company was more than enough to remind those lucky to have showed up early why the Crocodiles are an amazing force unto its own. A perfect musical accompaniment to Temper Trap's indie rock dance party, which was even more enjoyable in person than in recording, a facet of the band's interaction with the crowd who sang along full-roar to the new music off of its eponymous second album.

Ep.522 - The Temper Trap @ El Rey Theatre - Los Angeles, CA - 3/20/12 I, honestly, didn't know a whole lot about The Temper Trap before this show. I knew the band had a hit single, "Sweet Disposition," back in 2010 and had gained quite a following.

Young The Giant, formerly known as the Jakes, just released their first self-titled album. Although this blog is based primarily in Los Angeles, my hometown is Newport Beach, California, and that just happens to be where Young The Giant wrote their first and latest effort.

Their "beachy" environment seems to have had great influence on the album in that, "A lot of the ideas on the record spawned from our time there—that concept of eternal summer, of youthfulness," said Gadhia, the lead vocalist.

So I decided to fly out to LA (first time ever) for one night just as the first day of EDC (also a first for moi) started. I touched down at LAX on saturday around 12 and after a $46 cab ride I find myself in a mammoth line waiting for the doors to open. After an excruciating wait I was off to the open bar at the KineticField to catch Dada Life , Bart B More , Afrojack , and Laidback Luke . Right off the bat, Bart B More put me on a great [...]
