CHANGE YOUR PLANS, NO SUNSET JUNCTION
August 24th, 2011 · 1 Comment
Sunset Junction has been canceled. You need a permit to put a ferris wheel and indie rockers in the streets. But, really, the Junc supposedly owed the city 6-figures from last year and it was pay up today or Public Works shut you down and though we can imagine some really cool action sequences to [...]
SUNSET STRIP MUSIC FESTIVAL
August 24th, 2011 · No Comments
The rock band that started on the Sunset Strip was honored after 30 years (of questionable fashion influence) over the weekend. Motley Crue (Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee and Mick Mars) not only sounded as good as ever, their stage complete with fire and Tommy’s insane roller coaster drum set up (with Deadmaus for [...]
TY SEGALL + TIJUANA PANTHERS + AUDACITY @ EAGLE ROCK CENTER FOR THE ARTS
August 23rd, 2011 · 1 Comment
Pairing three great garage bands who should play together ALL THE TIME turned out to be as great in practice as it was in theory. This FYF outing paired So-Cal heroes Tijuana Panthers and Audacity with S.F. sunshine pop darling Ty Segall at Eagle Rock’s historic-library-turned-concert-venue Eagle Rock Center for the Arts.
ICEAGE @ THE ECHO
August 20th, 2011 · No Comments
“Joy Division’s first show was 15 minutes!” That’s what we heard exclaimed from the stage after iceage’s vicious L.A. debut at the Echo for Part Time Punks. OK, so that comparison is a bit much, but it’s apt in that what Iceage seems to want to do is bring danger to the stage, much like [...]

SOUNDGARDEN @ THE FORUM [ + PHOTOS]
August 2nd, 2011 · No Comments
hris Cornell’s voice sounds as good as ever, and in spite of the passage of time since Soundgarden’s glory days—made obvious by both the median age of the crowd and the streaks of grey in guitarist Kim Thayil’s once jet-black hair—the band did their catalog justice.

RANDOM PATTERNS “CANS ALL DAY” + “RAW LUCK”
July 20th, 2011 · 1 Comment
Random Patterns reveals new songs and there’s cowbell involved. Known for its parts and progressions and long jams, the band explores (or records) itself in a new way here on “Cans All Day.” The wall of noise is clearer, more like a window. That’s just a warm-up for “Raw Luck,” a really cool Random Patterns [...]
MERLE HAGGARD “WORKING IN TENNESSEE”
July 19th, 2011 · No Comments
Merle Haggard is putting out a new album this October with Vanguard Records. Below, get a free download of the title track, “Working In Tennessee,” an upbeat, happy, swinging tune that sounds grudge-free but, according to the official document, “underscores Haggard’s oft-confrontational relationship with Music City.” Haggard is loved, afterall, for his simple way of [...]
