  2. Walking Sleep’s Tarp Sessions Vol. 3

    October 11, 2011 by Steph

    Walking Sleep’s series of EPs, Tarp Sessions, will be released as a full length on collectable orange 12″ vinyl on November 1st. They’ll have some pre-order bundles available next week.
    If you’re a frequent reader, you’re aware of my weakness for finely tuned indie pop withguy/girl vocals. Walking Sleep fits right in, rocking it out and romancing with the essence of the dreamy fifties. Grab your beau and catch them tonight at The Bootleg with Radical Face. Walking Sleep goes on at 8:45 so make sure to get there early.

  3. WATCH THIS: Big Deal – “Chair”

    October 10, 2011 by Steph

    Brit guy/girl duo Big Deal’s debut album Lights Out was released on September 5th in the UK but likely won’t be around in the U.S. until some time next year. Until then, I’ll be scouring the interwebs for more tidbits from this band because it’s bound to be my new favorite.

  4. Vanaprasta at the Thirsty Crow

    October 5, 2011 by Steph

    The show with Vanaprasta at the Thirsty Crow was a huge success. The band’s acoustic show is sensational and the crowd was dancing, singing, and a mob of rambunctious excited energy. The highlight for me was the newest single “Nine Equals Nine” from their upcoming album Healthy Geometry. They have a Monday night residency at The Satellite in november and if you don’t make it out at for at least one of the shows, you’ll be missing out on something sensational.

    Psychedelic indie rock band Vanaprasta is one of Silver Lake’s most talked-about bands this year. Before I even posted about their then-new track “G -,” I had seen them billed on a dozen shows and covered on a dozen blogs around town. They are completely unavoidable so it’s a good thing they can rock.Vanaprasta - Credit: Jessica Tosoc and Christina Felice
    Addicted to Shows is presenting Vanaprasta’s show on Thursday, September 29th at The Thirsty Crow. A bar around the corner with a band from my neighborhood playing a completely acoustic set seemed like something for which I couldn’t help but offer our full support.

    “Nine Equals Nine” is the first track off the band’s debut full-length record Healthy Geometry, which will be released on November 1, 2011. Keep your eyes peeled for more shows coming in their original form: a residency at the Satellite in November and CMJ in October.

  7. SEE THIS: Big Black Delta’s Album Release Show at The Satellite

    September 26, 2011 by Steph

    IFUCKINGLOVEYOU from Big Black Delta on Vimeo.

    “Capsize” from BBDLP1 out September 26 on Coming Home Records

    If you live in Los Angeles and you haven’t been to one of Big Black Delta’s shows yet, you’d be making a huge mistake by missing the last night of their residency at The Satellite tonight. I’ve been to a few already and the live show is incredible–no house lights, just a multi-colored light board synchronized with the music. Jonathan Bates (aka Big Black Delta) slinking around the stage with the mic chord slung over his shoulders twiddling with his laptop and, let’s not forget, two female drummers with full kits frame either side of the stage–Mahsa Zargaran and Amy Wood. It’s 35 minutes of pure energy and once you’ve emerged from the pool of vibrations, you will be converted.

    Plus, some perks of this last show: today marks the release of Big Black Delta’s debut LP BBDLP1. They’ll be selling their limited-edition colored vinyl tonight, which I think is pretty damn sexy.

    Also, highly-buzzed band Letting Up Despite Great Faults will be playing just before BBD so get there early!

    SET TIMES:
    9.26 Los Angeles, CA @ The Satellite (Free Residency, BBD record release party)
    12 pm – Echoes de Luxe
    11 pm – Big Black Delta
    10 pm – Letting Up Despite Great Fault
    9 pm – Death Kit

    And in case you’re a new fan, download the older EP for free…

  8. WATCH THIS: Summer Camp – “Better Off Without You”

    September 23, 2011 by Steph

    Wow, I’ve been posting a lot of music videos recently! I’m a little late on this Summer Camp video (an late in blog terms is just about a week) but I snagged this from GorillavsBear.net. It’s a really lovely video for this track and band that I already love.

  9. WATCH THIS: Dawes – “Time Spent In Los Angeles”

    September 23, 2011 by Steph

    Ahh to be a rock star in Los Angeles. It must be so lonely and sad and beautiful, don’t you think? Well, that’s what you’d get from this new video from alt-country/indie rock band Dawes.

    Mark your calendar because they will actually Be in Los Angeles on November 17th at The Music Box (Buy Tickets).
