The musical festivities at the Los Lobos show this past Cinco De Mayo at the Greek Theatre, kicked off on the main stage with Mariachi El Bronx and what better way to continue the day’s celebrations!

Lead Singer, Matt Caughthran, provided not only [...]

Magic Wands at the Satellite – Photos & Show Review – April 24, 2012
Celebrating the release of their deliciously infectious, sexy debut album, Aloha Moon, L.A.’s Magic Wands came to transform the Satellite into a hazy Tiki-inspired land of mystical hedonism. From the moment I received, Magic Wands’ new album, Aloha Moon, I was instantly hooked. So much, that I actually listened to the record about 30 times! The duo composed of Chris and Dexy Valentine, have managed to create an enchanting debut album that tip-toes across various striking genres. From the shoegaze haze you are left with after listening to title-track, “Aloha Moon,” to the edgy [...]

Anoushka Shankar at the Luckman Fine Arts Complex – Photos – April 21, 2012
Anoushka Shankar just headlined the Luckman Fine Arts Complex this past Saturday with her magnificent blend of Spanish forms of flamenco, fandango, and bulería. With graceful style and ease, she merges the seductive music of Spain with the lively ancient forms of the Indian classical tradition. Her music is carefully crafted and something you truly need to witness live to feel the broad scope of her energy: it’s infectious.

Justice with The Rapture (DJ Sets) at Club Nokia – Photos & Show Review – April 18, 2012
French DJ/Producer and Ed Banger Records label head Busy P, aka Pedro Winter, opened the Justice DJ set show at Club Nokia on Wednesday, April 18 with sick jams and lots of laughs. He busted out a variety of recognizable but not so obvious crowd pleasing tunes into the house mix, such as the Bobby Hebb 60s classic “Sonny” sung by Georgie Fame, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Suck My Kiss” as well as Queen’s “Under Pressure.” Hilarious quips such as the one where he poked fun at famed Swedish DJ Avicii, made it feel [...]

Explosions In The Sky with We Were Promised Jetpacks at The Glass House – Photos – April 18, 2012
Explosions In The Sky has to be one of the most magnificent live performances. What they do live with no vocals, is absolutely astounding considering many bands don’t even come close to the energy they evoke with their music: all without words. Supporting Explosions In The Sky were We Were Promised Jetpacks. These Scottish boys also put on one hell-of-a-show. Their orchestrations are powerful and full of striking emotion. Both bands played excellent sets and both bands were Coachella performers this year. Check out our photo gallery below of Explosions In The Sky with We Were Promised [...]

Miike Snow with The Big Pink at El Rey Theatre – Photos & Show Review – April 17, 2012
Arising from a hazy mist of smoke machines—clad in black hoodies and their signature masks, Miike Snow made quite the entrance at the El Rey Theatre with their Lite Bright center piece of antlers. The crowd was in a frenzy at the drop of the first atmospheric break as the masked marauders made their dramatic entrance with a suspenseful and mystical intro that led into “Enter The Jokers Lair,” the first song off their new album, Happy To You. Following up with the joyous marching band drum lines of “The Wave,” [...]
