You Me & Iowa || Listen

Featuring a good mix of indie, pop, and dance rock, You, Me, & Iowa stand out from much of the LA indie scene. They make simple, fun, and meaningful rock music that could be adaptable by hipsters, teens, and college kids alike (and everyone else, for that matter). Their short, but impressive six song set featured a mix of songs from their debut EP Bigger Than Boston and a taste of new material from their upcoming, yet to be titled full length. Their lyrics are reminiscent of early Weezer circa Pinkerton with catchy indie pop melodies the likes of Death Cab for Cutie with a hint of prog thrown in to the mix. The band’s strongest point is their ability for great hooks with harmonizing guitars and synthesizers. - Billboard’s Mobile Beat

Great Northern || Listen || Watch

On the cover of Great Northern’s debut album, Trading Twilight for Daylight, sits a barren tree backed by an arctic landscape. Such a dormant image is ironic considering the band’s lively and articulately layered sound, with traditional instrumentation being complemented by the likes of strings, brass, and other orchestral elements that are often considered too complex or overbearing to even visit the usually simplistic world of indie pop. Demonstrating the ability to take risks, Great Northern are one of the more capable bands of their element I have heard lately. Based out of Los Angeles, Great Northern was formed due to the strong friendship of pianist Rachel Stolte and guitarist Solon Bixler, both proficient songwriters and lead vocalists. - Obscure Sound

Robbers on High Street || Listen || Watch

Each of the eleven tracks within Grand Animals can be broken down and taken apart as a stand-alone piece - individually they hint at manner of pop rock sounds - but none carries enough weight to eclipse the album. From the simple pop rock of “Crown Victoria” to the smooth nighttime pop of “Nasty Numbers,” the Robbers shift left and right across the style spectrum with ease. The album’s cover, of embroidered throw pillows emblazed with the Robbers’ faces, suggests Grand Animals might be suited for muzak at a soft-spoken retirement home, but an early 60’s sock hop on the wrong side of the tracks would be more appropriate. - www.lostatsea.com

Tunng || Listen

The music Genders and Lindsay forged together - they attribute their early work-rate to their fear of startling a semi-clothed woman if they attempted to exit the studio - comes under the banner of folktronica. It’s an awkward-sounding name that smacks of faddishness, but even Genders and Lindsay admit it fits the sound Tunng have honed over three albums, matching Genders’ woody brand of songwriting with skittering electronics, snatched samples of film dialogue, ambient noise and arcane instrumentation - their third album, Good Arrows, opens with the sound of a hammered dulcimer. - The Guardian

Spain || Listen

Performing “Blue Moods of Spain” in its entirety

‘The Blue Moods Of Spain’ demonstrated what happened when the son of a jazzbo set forth to create a downcast, West Coast take on pure atmosphere. The cover art’s Blue Note quotation and bandleader/bassist Josh Haden’s kinship to Ornette Coleman bassist Charlie Haden put the preconception of “jazz” on the tip of many listeners’ tongues. But ‘Blue Moods’ was less about improvisational flair than it was about evoking a smoky, confessional vibe. Thankfully, all that ambience was backed up by considerable chops and Haden’s bottom-of-the-bottle baritone. Despite its immersion in the hipster Silverlake scene of the early ’90s (which included That Dog, featuring Haden’s sisters, Petra and Rachel), Spain had little patience for indie-rock preciousness.

Ya Ho Wa 13

To celebrate the launch of the new Process Media book The Source: The Untold Story of Father Yod, Ya Ho Wa 13, and The Source Family by Isis Aquarian (Pub date: October 25, 2007), the author and a dozen original Source Family members from the legendary LA cult/commune will mark a return to Los Angeles in early November for rare live performances and book signings. Sure to please collectors and fans, two events mark the first public performance in thirty years of the Family’s legendary rock band Ya Ho Wa 13. The live music event at The Echoplex on November 16 will also feature the seminal proto-punk psychedelic garage rocker, Sky Saxon and The Seeds—Saxon was also a devoted “member of The Source Family. In January 2008, the Ya Ho Wa 13 classic record PENETRATION will be re-released in the U.S. for the first time since the (now extremely collectable) original 1000 print-run LP sold out through the Source restaurant for $1 each!) in 1974. Cold Sweat in Los Angeles will release the CD and Tee Pee Records out of Brooklyn will release the Vinyl version.

30 Year Anniversary show and book release celebrating the infamous punk club THE MASQUE

Music (reprinted from the LA WEEKLY 11/9/07 edition)

The Basement Photos

Lighting the Masque

By FALLING JAMES

“I don’t wanna go down to the basement/There’s something down there.” —The Ramones

It was just a stripped-down basement under the Pussycat Theater in an alley off of Cherokee Avenue in Hollywood, but the Masque was a literal hothouse in which about a hundred punks briefly bloomed, with their messy assignations and brash experiments in volume and nihilism in the late-’70s merging into one great big purifying brushfire that consumed the worlds of music, art and fashion. The Masque was just a few steps down from Hollywood Boulevard, across from Boardner’s, but it might as well have been a million miles away from the bewildered tourists looking for the tracks of long-vanished movie stars on the scuzzy Walk of Fame. The club was hidden in plain sight — at least for a little while, until the growing numbers of freaks, loners, CalArts students, glam refugees and leather-jacketed punks attracted the less-than-protective nightstick interventions of the LAPD. “What we wear is dangerous gear/It’ll get you picked up anywhere,” as the Clash once sang about their own “City of the Dead.”

X-Exene Cervenka, Billy Zoom, John Doe, D.J. Bonebrake (Photo by Frank Gargani)

Brendan Mullen was a self-described “dirty, hapless schmuck from Scotland” looking for a place to live and bang on his drums when he “tumbled into the basement of the Hollywood Center Building.” As he recounts in the massive new photo book Live at the Masque: Nightmare in Punk Alley (Gingko Press/R77 Publishing), which he compiled with Roger Gastman, he ended up managing the 10,000-square-foot space and hosted his first parties with the Skulls and the Controllers in August 1977. Despite ongoing hassles with the L.A. police, fire and building & safety departments and eventual relocations to other sites, Mullen was able to keep the Masque operating until December 1979, booking most of the major early L.A. punk legends (the Weirdos, Screamers, the Alley Cats, Germs, X, the Go-Go’s, the Dickies, U.X.A., Black Randy & the Metro Squad), simpatico San Franciscan visitors (the Avengers, Dead Kennedys) and the first wave of the burgeoning suburban pop-punk and hardcore invasion (the Crowd, Suburban Lawns, Flyboys, Middle Class, the Last, Black Flag).

The Bags: Marc Morbid, a.k.a Marc Moreland, Nickey Beat, Pat Bag, Alice Bag, Craig Lee (Photo by Jenny Lens)

Mullen calls the book a “narrative by image,” and the cumulative effect of its flood of photographs, fliers, scraps of reviews, band contracts and other ephemera is nostalgically thrilling yet rarely sentimental, with some artfully dramatic and iconic photos from Melanie Nissen, Ann Summa, Herb Wrede, Donna Santisi, Frank Gargani, Jenny Lens, Al Flipside, Jules Bates and the Flesh Eaters’ Chris D., among others. Beyond revealing charismatic performers like the Screamers’ Tomata du Plenty, Alice Bag, the Germs’ Darby Crash and the other “red-eyed legends of the night before” (as Crash put it) in their prime, Live at the Masque also documents L.A.’s twisted mutation of cut-&-pasted-&-sewn-together DayGlo fashion. Punks were considered “ugly” with their butch haircuts and ripped-up clothes, but the photographic evidence here reveals how alluring scene queens Trudie Arguelles, Patricia Morrison, Pleasant Gehman and Exene Cervenka looked in their repurposed vintage frocks, torn fishnets and lavishly overdone Cleopatra makeup — especially when compared to the blandly ubiquitous earthy hippie fashions of the time. Even as the musicians were transforming themselves into “colorful thrashed parrots,” as Beck (who visited the Masque as a 7-year-old) later described it, the tome reminds us that many of the kids in the crowd still had shaggy hair and boogie-rock attire in those semi-innocent days before the punk fashion rules were firmly codified.

{LAW_PAGE_BREAK} To celebrate the Masque’s 30th anniversary and the book’s publication, the Echoplex is presenting an all-day marathon with more-than-slight returns from many of the Class of ’77’s survivors, including extremely rare reunions by the Plugz (whose original lineup will reprise their sardonically brilliant and criminally out-of-print debut LP, Electrify Me, which was the first indie studio album released by an L.A. punk band), the Eyes (with Joe Ramirez trading off zippy, wickedly witty tunes like “Disneyland” with the comparatively seedy kidnap-victim rant “Don’t Talk to Me” from guitarist Charlotte Caffey, later of the Go-Go’s), pop-punk-surf dazzlers the Flyboys, Billy Bones’ reincarnation of the Skulls, the Controllers, the Deadbeats and others.

The Masque Anniversary Party at the Echoplex, 1154 Glendale Ave., Echo Park; Sun., Nov. 11, 3 p.m.; all ages.

Jesu || Listen

Justin Broadrick’s ongoing quest to spend the metal-cred capital he earned in Napalm Death and Godflesh like so much blood money has been both compelling and damaging to purists’ psyches. The noisy yet stubbornly melodic shoegaze anthems he creates as Jesu mercilessly drag his audience to an appreciation of a densely layered, deliberately emotional sound. For a good time, fire up some message boards and watch partisans tie themselves in knots over Conqueror’s decidedly pop bent and feather-light vocals. Broadrick floats all over the place, but even the outraged can’t help but worship the heft that keeps his whole production aloft. - Pitchfork

Tristeza || Listen

Tristeza is an instrumental band, eschewing vocals in exchange for rich textural instrumental soundscapes. And, yes, these soundscapes evoke colors, an aural equivalent to a Mark Rothko exercise in monochromes or collisions of color blocks. This band is all about texture, and the guitar lines mesh with the bass and drums and assorted other instruments like layers of paint on a canvas creating. Up close, paintings often want to be tactile, appealing not just to our sense of color, but also to our impulse to touch and caress to feel the grain of the paints on the canvas. On A Colores, the members of Tristeza do just this, inviting us to sink ourselves into their compositions and immerse ourselves in their textures. - Prefix Mag

Captain #1 || Listen

Captain Number 1 began as sounds echoing out of the Florida Everglades into abandoned farmhouses and trailer homes along the sides of state roads. Those same sounds slowly made their way through south Florida till they crawled inside a man’s ear. That man now lives in the foothills of Georgia and creates music with friends and travels to cities to play you those lonely songs born in the everglades. Songs about murders, about love, about angels and hydrogen balloons, set to the music of glockenspiels, mandolins and toys.

The Morning Benders || Listen

Fortunately, Berkeley’s the Morning Benders do a fine job of reminding me of the unassailable power of Spector’s three-minute moments of transcendent pop bliss. Combining a wall of sound — along with doses of another complicated genius, Brian Wilson — with an exuberant strain of indie folk rock that will send you fetching your tambourine, their new self-released Boarded Doors EP is cartwheeling, leapfrogging testimony to a man who means a hell of a lot more than scary hair and a handgun fetish. - SF Bay Guardian

Bishop Allen || Listen

“The music of NYC band Bishop Allen is pretty essentialist. Stripped to its barest aspects, the band’s songs are studies in naked rock ‘n’ roll. The group put out an EP a month in 2006, in limited 2000-disc pressings, so it’s no wonder they didn’t get a lot of time to experiment. The EP project instead allowed the band the chance to hone its craft. For that’s what these songs are: pure craft, little more than melody, harmony and some basic dynamics.

Some critics have relegated them to a mere blog-band — that’s usually a pejorative, but when your foremost supporter is You Ain’t No Picasso, it starts to sound a lot more like a compliment. Me, I call ‘em anti-fey indie-pop, an ‘06/’07 answer to Beulah or early Death Cab for Cutie.” - The Rawking Refuses to Stop

New Young Pony Club || Listen

Forget New Rave. New Young Pony Club have just started New Disco. Fantastic Playroom makes no bones about exactly what the band want to achieve. These songs are all solid pop nuggets, dripping in innuendo, squelchy bass and danceable rhythms.

Having already made something of an impression with earlier singles Ice Cream (you’re probably familiar with this via the Intel adverts) and The Bomb, surely the only way is up for a band already being heralded in trendy circles as the next big thing. - MusicOMH

The Pipettes || Listen

Yes, the prefab Pipettes are a bunch of pretty ladies from the UK whose catchy songs revolve around a wafer-thin girl-power theme, but the modern take on ’60s-girl-group pop that they’re soaked in makes it a whole lot easier for cool kids to admit to liking them. Finally on American shores more than a year after its original release, We Are The Pipettes is what Phil Spector would be making these days if he started listening to a lot of indie pop and wasn’t so busy in court. Three polka-dotted women with perfectly suited voices front The Pipettes, but it’s the work of mastermind Monster Bobby and the rest of the backing band that elevates these 16 nuggets far beyond the disposable pop implied by the setup. - The AV Club

Brother Reade || Listen

On their debut full-length, Brother Reade creates a sound to write home about. The tracks, courtesy of Bobby Evans, are layered and variable, occasionally haunting, usually melodic, but still with that dirty southern bounce to get your hips shaking. Lyrically, Major Jamz’s flows are catchy and smooth, no doubt, but also thoughtful—dropping references from Hemmingway to Lou Reed to the Bible. See “The Marcie Song” for how to spit game; with a bass line as clever as the lyrics, the song features the sexiest flow I’ve heard in years. “No 9 to 5” will be the new theme song for anyone in the hustle, with the refrain, “This is for the strippers and the fans of the Clippers/’Cause life ain’t easy for y’all.” Rap Music is a welcome change from most of the blunts/bitches/ice braggadocio dominating the commercial airwaves; BR stays relevant while still having the beat and swagger to keep its legendary house parties going until four in the morning. - Urb

Black Mountain || Listen

“Black Mountain hits somewhere between Jerk With a Bomb’s stellar but more straightforward Pyrokinesis and Pink Mountaintops’ smarmy, sex-laden brand of vespertine blues– only jacked up a good 20 decibels. McBean’s voice is pleasant and instantly recognizable; having such an established songwriter behind a freshman outing is a tremendous advantage, and Black Mountain seem to know it. When the band aren’t venturing on plush, static jams, his coy bluesy vocals tether the songs in familiar melodic space.” - Pitchfork

“There’s something incandescent about David Kilgour’s sound, an echoey surreality, a spiritual immanence that can’t quite be contained in the simple melodies he strums and sings. Whether it’s how he records or how he plays or just how he is, his songs have always been more than the sum of their parts, luminous, mysterious and inexplicably gorgeous. Since his days with the Clean, Kilgour has recorded six full-length solo albums, full of light and dotted with epiphanies but couched in modest psyche-folk-pop terms.” - PopMatters
