Wednesday 08.01.07: SPINDRIFT & THE STEVENSON RANCH DAVIDIANS
“Kirpatrick Thomas, the founding member of Spindrift, a self-dubbed ‘psychedelic Spaghetti Western’ band, made just such a journey-in true cosmic cowboy fashion-from Delaware to Southern California in late 2001. He was already heading up the experimental post-punk incarnation of a band called Spindrift when he took off. His fuel: fragrant dreams of the Western mystique rooted in the stylized ’60s cowboy movies of Italian filmmaker Sergio Leone (often grandly referred to within the burgeoning L.A. ‘neo-cosmic cowboy’ scene as simply ‘Sergio’).” – LA Alternative
The Stevenson Ranch Davidians || Listen
“Theirs is the church of psychedelia and they seem intent on taking their congregation on a trip back to the Summer of Love, ’67 style. They make no apologies for inhaling the effects of the British Invasion, shoegazing, and the music atmosphere of Los Angeles in the late sixties. In fact they’re poised to join the pantheon of L.A. neo-psychedelic bands such as Rain Parade, Mazzy Star, The Dandy Warhols, Brian Jonestown Massacre and Beachwood Sparks.” – 3Hive.com

Thursday 08.02.07: MARNIE STERN
New York guitar hero Marnie Stern wastes little time showing off her dazzling fretboard trickery on her new CD, In Advance of the Broken Arm (Kill Rock Stars). The opening song, “Vibrational Match,” fairly bursts with intricately knotted lead-guitar flurries, a virtual sound storm of looping, flickering, flashing guitar patterns. “Precious Metal” swarms with thousands of glistening notes that flop around like grunion on a crowded night beach. Stern’s arty lyrics are just as dense on brain-bulging workouts like “Letters From Rimbaud” and “Every Single Line Means Something,” where her insistent finger-tapping style raises beautiful halo noises from her ax. She combines prog-rock dexterity and ambition with a post-riot-grrl aggression that draws on such disparate inspirations as Yoko Ono and Hella (whose drummer, Zach Hill, produced and played on Broken Arm). – LA Weekly

Thursday 08.02.07: Spaceland Productions presents – THE SECTION QUARTET @ Pershing Square
The Dept. of LA Parks and Recreation & Spaceland Productions present:
The section quartet consists of two violins, a viola, and a cello, but please don’t call it a string quartet. “We’re a rock band,” insists first violinist, arranger, and founder Eric Gorfain, allowing, however, that “we’re playing classical instruments and we’re classically trained, so we kind of straddle the line.” Cellist Richard Dodd is less willing to compromise. “We play electrified instruments, really hard and loud, like a band,” he says. “I try to play with very little vibrato, and I get a solid bite into the string all the time. It’s a very aggressive style that probably wouldn’t go over too well with many orchestras.” – Strings Magazine

It’s impossible not to crack a smile when listening to lyrics that rhyme “beaver” and “believer” (as Gravy Train!!!! does on “(Ev’rybody Do) the Thingy”). – Spin.com

Saturday 08.04.07: The New Ship Presents – A BENEFIT FOR FERDIE CUILDA OF 400 BLOWS @ Echoplex
“The hardcore scene that grew out of the fertile grounds of the early to mid-’90s San Diego punk scene has very few survivors left. Bands formed and broke up at an alarming rate, often releasing albums posthumously; however, 12 years after their inception, and despite a revolving door membership, flagship noisemakers The Locust continue to pierce the eardrums of noiseheads worldwide. The band’s 2003 effort, Plague Soundscapes, was a monumental shift forward. It was their first disc for Epitaph subsidiary Anti- (home to folks like Tom Waits and Porter Wagoner) and also marked the beginning of their relationship with Mars Volta and At the Drive In producer, Alex Newport. With his capable hands behind the boards, the band had never sounded more professional or more punishing in their career.
Their latest effort, at least aesthetically, falls in line with their past works. The lengthy song titles (“One Manometer Away From Mutually Assured Relocation”), provocative artwork, and inventive album title are traits now very familiar with Locust fans. But from the opening blast of synths and guitars from New Erections it becomes quickly apparent that once again, The Locust are redefining the genre they helped create, which will leave imitators scrambling to keep up.” – Popmatters

“Singer/guitarist/keyboardist Sharif Dumani and bassist Aaron Ebensperger had both toured and collaborated with rock ‘n’ roll soul man Cody Chesnutt a few years back and eventually made the Moon Upstairs their full-time project along with guitarist Mark Sogomian, drummer Josh Mancell, and the newest member keyboardist/guitarist Dave Baine. Inspired by the sounds of George Harrison, Pink Floyd and Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci, the music of the Moon Upstairs is both organic and atmospheric.” – Bio

Thursday 08.09.07: TAB
TAB formed in December, 2006 after Tony and Adrian decided they wanted to start a rap group featuring the characters Professor Bizniss and Tony Vegas, two fun loving lotharios who loved the ladies, money, and pimpin straight out of the south shore of Massachusetts. Luckily, Ben Tileston was there and, using the power of persuasion (and a lot of miller lite), got the band to stop rapping. What resulted was a ragged, hard rock band the likes of which has not been seen since 1974, but sounds like it could still be good in 2074.

“Luther Russell displayed the maturity to turn one of the most heartbreaking situations of his life into the greatest artistic success of his musical career. The former frontman of The Freewheelers wrote his fourth solo album, Repair, in the midst of a troubled divorce from his wife. To escape the torturous thought of remaining near to the site of tragedy, Russell moved back to his hometown of Los Angeles. While there, he had sudden thoughts of discontinuing his blossoming music career due to stress and emotional distraction. Though Russell was reluctant to once again becoming musically active, he decided to turn is rampant emotions of sorrow into the form of song. The result of endless hours of recording was Repair, Russell’s fourth album and his best one yet. To Russell, it was more than just another album. It was symbolic of moving on while continuing to pursue personal hobbies. Though it is a break from his more ambitious expenditures, Repair showcases Russell at his most natural and straightforward, resulting in songs that are both catchy and highly memorable. ” – Obscure Sound

“When you’re at the end of your rope, they say, either commit suicide or travel. Thankfully Hrishikesh Hirway traveled, cross-country and even to India, embarking late on one of those somber searching-for-yourself Wanderjahres. From this Ivy Leaguer you might expect a strain of clever self-flagellation falling, in his own words, “somewhere between bedroom electronica and singer/songwriter.” But Hirway’s music, performed with violinist Jane Yakowitz under the name The One AM Radio, isn’t so cut-and-dry. Like Múm on a smaller scale, or a lightly medicated, loose-lipped Four Tet, his introspective songs sway hazily from image to metaphor, between yesterday’s folk and tomorrow’s digitalism.” – Pitchfork

Thursday 08.16.07: MIDNIGHT MOVIES @ Echoplex
“The music that supports Olivier has a Velvety quality to it as well, with simple (but powerful) tribal drumming ala Mo Tucker, walls of noisy guitar, and easy but indelible melodies. Just as the music of the VU was always informed by (and inseparable from) New York, Midnight Movies is all about Los Angeles. From the name of the band—those Hollywood cult classics played on late-night TV—to the fact that it records for a label founded to release movie soundtracks (New Line) to the overall feel of the music, you couldn’t imagine Midnight Movies hailing from anywhere else. This is where noir was born, and Lion the Girl has its dark, mysterious and foreboding atmosphere. One could easily imagine Olivier and her mates scoring any David Lynch film. Or walking off the street into a nightclub on Sunset Boulevard and seeing the band, in any decade from the 1960s to the present.” – Popmatters

“Guitar chords come out of ether, grow into an incessant chord progression, and suddenly duet vocals, or electric piano, sometimes a lush section of strings blooms from sparse beginnings. The Black Pine shows patience and measured angst with an emotional vocab that most bands this side of the Atlantic just cant master. Dark songwriting that doesnt aspire to goth, and the ability to conjure deep sadness without gettin emo on everyone, makes the Black Pine a rare species these days.” – LA Alternative

Earlimart and the String Dream Team || Listen
More than ever, Murray threw herself into the writing process and eventually dragged Espinoza back to the Ship. The result is Mentor Tormentor, a record that works hard from start to finish to achieve “classic.” And with its broad, sweeping string arrangements, the album is much more grandiose than anything Earlimart has done before.
As the title might suggest, Mentor is an ode to the duplicitous role our loved ones play in our lives. Fittingly, Ariana came up with it.
“I think it was a combination of all these ups and downs in the last couple of years,” explains Espinoza. “We’ve had some loss, and some people leave us, and some pretty disappointing friendships.”
Sonically, the album mirrors those same ups and downs, oscillating from revved-up rock songs about the failings of friendship (“Everyone Knows Everyone”) to autumnal piano ballads about separation and acceptance (“Don’t Think About Me”). – Filter Mag

“Freshly signed to Dim Mak, On The Wing Now shows talent, balls and the type of gusto that’s missing from so many bands today. Describing their sound is a little hard to do; they manage to infuse the best parts of shoegazer and indie rock and put a good shot of late ’80s/early ’90s Britrock (a la Stone Roses) in the mix for a totally unique sound. You know a record has to be good when the first track is the same name of one of your favorite venues. Such is the case with Foreign Born’s ‘Union Hall,’ a track full of chanting and soaring vocals, hand claps and haunting sonic textures. ‘Into Your Dream’ sees the band playing with the dirty side of rock with driving, pounding drums and fuzzy guitars. Listening to it, it’s hard not to think of Black Angels or Velvet Underground.” – The Tripwire

Wednesday 08.29.07: THE FARAWAY PLACES
“According to the band’s Website,principals Donna Coppola (keyboards,vocals) and Chris Colthart (guitar, vocals) met in Boston while watching a Sun Ra video, and their music—first put out under the moniker the Solar Saturday, and fleshed out by an ever-changing ensemble of players—evokes the experimental, jazzy and frequently downright wacky spirit of the Arkestra’s work. Except that the Faraway Places are a helluva lot more listenable: They combine jangly and fuzzy guitars, layers of electronic and orchestral flourishes and a pop sensibility that straddles 60’s England and 70’s California, with Ms. Coppola’s matted voice sounding like a cross between Nico and Kim Deal. Unfocus on It, their debut album, manages to be both cool and warm, especially on the wistful ‘Summertime’ with its melancholy string arrangements and back-up sighs, and the Beach Boys-meets-Bowie ‘City on the Ocean’.” – New York Observer

I play pretty tight drums. Who’s interested?” What’s thrilling about these cats is that, when they cook, they sound like they’re making the sort of music most anyone with passion could make. They sound like they’re having obscene amounts of fun making it. But deeper listening reveals the twisted talent beneath the cleansing racket. And, good times aside (but well within reach), they know that messy, obnoxious dance music is too powerful to play strictly for chuckles. Having fun + taking one’s art seriously (enough) = talent (at least, of one sort… and Old Time Relijun, they’re multi-talented). – Dusted Magazine
