Sunset Strip Music Festival – Photos and Review
Words: Mike Pearl Photos: Matt Fisher Saturday was the big day at the Sunset Strip Music Festival, when that troublesome street closure would finally pay off for those of us in the mood for some rock. The auspicious name and location of the festival evoke visions of bedazzled, shirtless lead singers flinging blonde hair across the dingy stages of The Whiskey a Go Go and its ilk. To some degree glam rock lives on at the festival, but Saturday was less a celebration of the Strip’s rock legacy, as an [...]

“Minotaur” by The Clientele – EP Review
Incepted in 1997, Britain’s The Clientele has always successfully combined its influences into a tasteful form of pop music that has over the years been equal parts melancholy, wistful and cerebral. Its latest EP, “Minotaur,” finds the band in top form from its Byrds-esque title track to spoken word “The Green Man,” the latter of which owing a nod of the proverbial cap to surrealist poetry. As expected, Alasdair MacLean’s vocals lilt atop beautiful melodies that illicit thoughts of Laurel Canyon’s heyday mixed with, as always, Love and The Zombies [...]

“Pickin’ Up the Pieces” by Fitz and the Tantrums – Album Review
You know, the organ is an instrument just not heard very often on pop albums these days. And then what’s this? No guitar?!? While this may sound like a bad polka album in the making, Fitz and the Tantrums have a style that doesn’t require the typical pop instrumentation and styling. Their throwback 60s soulful sound calls for an old school mix of stellar vocals, a mean sax and some smart drumming. The Los Angeles sextet’s debut LP, “Pickin’ Up the Pieces” shimmies and shakes with retro vibes, cashing in [...]

New Music: Download a Free MP3 of Abe Vigoda – “To Tears”
Photo: Dan Monick In support of their new album, “Crush,” Abe Vigoda is offering a hot new track titled “To Tears.” With those airy, lazy vocals and jangly guitars, it definitley boasts that 80s new wave sound. Reminds me of a song they might have played in the soundtrack of “Valley Girl” had the tune been out in ’83. If you’re a fan of Joy Division, Interpol and the Editors, you’ll love this new track and Abe Vigoda’s forthcoming album.”Crush” is set to hit the streets on September 20 in [...]
