GREG ASHLEY: PEOPLE ARE FORCED TO LISTEN
November 11th, 2009 · No Comments
L.A. RECORD interviews Greg Ashley every year we can because he does such vital work in keeping Californian minds alive. His fearsome band the Gris Gris is back playing a few shows, but he’ll be opening for (and backing) the Dutchess and the Duke tonight and Friday for his first local shows since 2007. This interview by Daniel Clodfelter.
THE DUTCHESS AND THE DUKE: CURL UP INTO A LITTLE BALL
November 10th, 2009 · 1 Comment
The Dutchess and the Duke were already great when they came through Los Angeles almost exactly a year ago, but their beautiful new album Sunset/Sunrise (produced by Gris Gris’ Greg Ashley) has Lee Hazlewood smiling proudly down from somewhere above Sweden. They speak now to the Black Lips’ Jared Swilley, conducting his first interview ever.
DEVO: GONNA BE A MAN FROM THE MOON
November 4th, 2009 · 1 Comment
The world is now a DEVO song, and so Warner has just reissued two vital early DEVO albums barely containing some of the most annihilating reality ever twined into vinyl. And so L.A. RECORD’s Dan Collins reissues this vintage interview with Mark Mothersbaugh from the archives of the defunct Ostrich Ink. DEVO will perform Freedom Of Choice at the Fonda tonight.
MONOTONIX: HOW YOU CALL IT? CHUTZPAH!
September 16th, 2009 · 1 Comment
Israel’s Monotonix are known and respected and perhaps even secretly coveted here in L.A. because of their world-wrecking live set and super-charged rock ‘n’ roll. Singer Ami Shalev speaks now while presumably fully clothed. This interview by Rena Kosnett.
DEAD WEATHER TO PLAY WEDNESDAY AT THIRD MAN RECORDS POP-UP STORE DOWNTOWN
August 21st, 2009 · 1 Comment
The Dead Weather (who were just touring with Screaming Females) will perform this Wednesday at the opening of the 72-hour Third Man Records‘ pop-up store at (or next to?) the Regent Theatre at Fourth and Main downtown. The store will be open from noon to 8 PM Thursday and Friday and close that Friday night. [...]
DAVID LIEBE HART AND ADAM PAPAGAN: IF YOU RULE YOUR MIND
August 14th, 2009 · 2 Comments
The extinct Los Angeles Public Access studio brought David Liebe Hart and Adam Papagan together. They are now known for their music, which merges Adam’s multi-instrumentalist pop compositions with David’s soulful narratives about women and trains and extra-terrestrials. They met Drew Denny to discuss religion, UFOs and lotus flowers.
GLASVEGAS: WE DID WHAT SCOTTISH PEOPLE DO
July 27th, 2009 · No Comments
Indie rock doesn’t produce much in the way of anthems, but, then again, Glasvegas is ‘indie’ only by D.I.Y. courtesy, started as it was by four Glaswegians with more confessed ambition than self-admitted skill. Crowd and feedback noise from Oasis’ rattletrap set punctuated a conversation already fraught with slippage. This interview by Ron Garmon.
MICACHU & THE SHAPES: CALL A PHILO SOPHER ABOUT THAT
July 21st, 2009 · 2 Comments
Micachu and the Shapes began with Mica Levi, a girl in her early twenties who doubles as a composer, triples as a grime producer and quadruples as a pop experimentalist. Along with Raisa Khan and Marc Pell, her band has risen in the U.K.’s indie scene with this year’s debut Jewellery but is already so post-vacuum cleaner. This interview by Daiana Feuer.
