This Friday (2/3) Eleanor Friedberger is playing live at the Troubadour in Los Angeles and we have a pair of tickets to give away. Last Summer was WLFY's official soundtrack to the summer of 2011 with its laid back, yet catchy songwriting highlighted by wonderful stories expanded on from personal memories. Win or lose, I highly recommend coming out Friday and seeing one of the best singer/songwriters we have going right now. Now to contest: In the comment section below tell us why you should win these [...]

all photos by debi del grande The walls at the restaurant next door to the Troubadour must have been shaking because the place was rocking Tuesday night with 98.7 and Bronson Island presenting Dead Sara who has recently been on tour with Bush. What a breath of fresh air vocalist Emily Armstrong is! This girl has chops and range and isn't posing for anyone. Siouxsie Medley (guitar/vox), Chris Null (bass) and Sean Friday (drums) are all tight and no one is slacking. Even though Dead Sara wasn't the headliner—this night—the crowd screamed for more. [...]

The Melvins have scheduled another local Los Angeles show to take place in the Spring. This time the band will be headlining the Troubadour on Friday, April 13th. This is a good show choice if you're not going to be in Indio that weekend for a little festival known as Coachella. You can expect The Melvins to pull from a very extensive music catalog that spans 25 years and 18 albums. Tickets for this show are set to go on sale starting on Friday, January 20th at 1pm thorugh Ticketfly for $20.00 [...]

[The New Classics is a reoccurring segment in which we examine our favorite indie releases that are bound to replace our parent's "classic rock" stash hidden in the attic or the basement. These aren't reviews, these are unedited testimonies and opinions about why we love what we love. Can we get a witness?] Words by Vicki Album: Troubadour Artist: K'Naan Released: February 24, 2009 Label: A&M/Octone Producers: Gerald [...]

Contributed by Chris Gedos Considering there's more bands than people these days, I'm afraid to say that I'd never listened to The Sea and Cake if only because I wasn't quite sure what to make of their name. Band names with lowercase articles are highly uncommon in today's indiedom. I still think The Sea and Cake sounds more like a collection of short stories by the most recent fiction MFA from Hunter College, but presented with the opportunity to see the Chicago collective at [...]

We caught Tinariwen back in July on the North American leg of their tour at the Troubadour . - The dessert is jealous - TV On the Radio's Kyp Maloneshe soothes on "Tenere Taqqim Tossam." She gives and she takes. One of the best aspects of Tinariwen is that even if you can't understand a thing that they're saying you can't happen to feel connected to their powerful story telling ability. There are more commonalities between urban and Saharan life than one would imagine. They have experienced the human condition; whether [...]

If you've been following me on Tumblr recently, you'll know that I was lucky enough to catch Wu Lyf at the Troubadour last week on the final night of their tour with Crystal Antlers, which turned out to be a phenomenal show. While the young band's musical prowess was on full display throughout most of their set, their passion and theatrics were certainly what set them apart from the many bands I've seen over the past year. It's also the reason fans reciprocate that same passion during their rowdy performances, the one at the Troubadour ending with a lengthy crowd-surf [...]

Good Old War. A band that I am vaguely familiar with. I only have their first album Only Way To Be Alone (2008) on my iTunes and the first three tracks are the only songs I've listened to. Since then, they've released their self-titled album Good Old War (2010) and are currently working on a new [...]

Ep.501 - fun. @ The Troubadour - West Hollywood, CA - 11/14/11 Once again, I was late to being hip and just recently discovered fun. Their new single, "We Our Young" ft. Janelle Monáe was recommended to me by my friend, Dara Doodle, and instantly caught my attention. When I found out that fun. was playing the Troubadour, I just had to go - especially, since the show was sold-out, and it was obvious that fun. is on the rise. Photo by: Dara Doodle [...]

Electric Flower , the new band featuring Josh Garza and Imaad Wasif, are confirmed to support Cold War Kids at a sold-out show at the Troubadour in West Hollywood. The band released their self-titled debut EP last week on Narnack Records. The EP is available digitally and as a limited-edition red vinyl 103, foil stamped to 500 copies. In celebration of the release, the duo made their live debut at Los Angeles' Harvard and Stone last Thursday, 11/10. For more details...

Wild Flag may be a fairly new band (self-titled album just came out), but members Carrie Brownstein, Mary Timony, Rebecca Cole and Janet Weiss have been rocking in other solid bands, including Sleater-Kinney, Autoclave, and Helium. Drummer Weiss has also contributed to Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks and Bright Eyes' albums. Put these four punk rock professionals together and it was pure magic for two sold out nights at the Troubadour. Eleanor Friedberger came on stage for the last songs of the night. Definitely one of the best shows of the year. Photos by Debi Del Grande Setlist: [...]

NEN is taking a journey into the real world with the introduction of our first live music night to highlight the launch of our revamped Radar section, Show & Tell. Bi-monthly we'll be showcasing the best and most interesting of the new music we've uncovered so far in the historic venue that is The Troubadour in Earls Court. Many greats have played there including Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix and Sammy Davis Jnr to name but a few, so where else would we take Show & Tell's nearest and dearest musical talent, than the footstool to some amazing careers been and [...]
