Co-starring with SNL alum Fred Armisen on IFC’s hit series “Portlandia” and fronting the band Wild Flag are just a few of her accomplishments. With two sold out shows at the Echoplex, Portlandia: The Tour came rolling into Echo Park with comedy sketches, [...]

November 7th, 2011 · No Comments
Deer Tick Indie folk band Deer Tick gave some samplings at the Echoplex of its brand new album, Divine Providence. It all started when John J. McCauley III said he really didn’t feel like playing and wanted to just drink some more and talk with the crowd. I think most wouldn’t have minded as McCauley [...]

It was a full house at the Echoplex. A large ‘Drums’ banner hung on the stage. The excitement rose before the show even began, as loud new wave sounds bumped on the speakers. People had already set up shop at the front. I took my place and prepared for fast drum beats and sexy bass.

TEAMS @ ECHOPLEX ILLUSTRATED REVIEW
October 3rd, 2011 · No Comments
Teams, aka Sean Bowie, at Check Yo Ponytail, was a tsunami of brilliance. I couldn’t help but splash my feet about to the eclectic textures of his submerged disco trill funk. Teams’ music takes you to a another realm filled with saturated colors and aquatic vibes. I can’t get enough of his sound right now. [...]
BUTTHOLE SURFERS + 400 BLOWS @ THE ECHOPLEX
October 1st, 2011 · No Comments
Security was tighter than usual. The women behind the table were awfully suspicious of people whose names were “supposed” to be on the list. I walked into the smoky venue filled with obvious Butthole Surfers fans, shirted up, and I knew this was going to be a wild show.
