Kishi Bashi Returned to LA for a Joyful and Emotional Show at the Belasco

sngshows: Originally appeared on Grimy Goods. Words by me, photos by Steven Ward. What set this concert apart for me was Kishi Bashi’s ability to keep us grounded. This wasn’t just a blissful romp; he also got political and emotional (but thankfully not at the same time). I felt Beach Goth was surprisingly absent of political rhetoric, but Kishi Bashi made up for it by … Continue reading Kishi Bashi Returned to LA for a Joyful and Emotional Show at the Belasco

Electrop pop sensations St. Lucia and BAIO dazzled crowds at the Wiltern

sngshows: Originally appeared on Grimy Goods. Words by me, photos by Danielle Gornbein.  BAIO is not the most innovative electronic musician I’ve heard nor would I characterize his live show as revolutionary, but hell, the whole affair still is fresh and fun. Not another DJ could make tapping one button in time to the beat look so amusing. Nor could any other white boy make shaking … Continue reading Electrop pop sensations St. Lucia and BAIO dazzled crowds at the Wiltern

On Her Debut LP Ziemba Proves Hope is Both Never and Always

sngalbums: Originally appeared on Grimy Goods. “El Paso buried under red hot lava, blazing brimstone, hollow every syllable,” the song [”El Paso”] goes, spun around a rhyme and syllable structure similar to the complex equations Joanna Newsom wrote out for the scheme of “Leaving the City.” Guitar riffs swirl like a Western ballad as blazing brimstone encircles us, but the final line of “El Paso” … Continue reading On Her Debut LP Ziemba Proves Hope is Both Never and Always

Joyous Melodies Await You on Kishi Bashi’s New LP Sonderlust

sngalbums: Originally appeared on Grimy Goods. For many readers, the name Kishi Bashi is not new.

Broods Ignite Passion at Their First “Local” LA Show, Supported by Jarryd James

sngshows: Originally appeared on Grimy Goods. Words by me, photos by Andrew Gomez.  Broods gives off an infectious energy. It is the kind of feeling that makes you want to pursue your passions and also forces you to be in the moment. For some at this show, that translated to dancing until your drink gets knocked over or taking lip syncing selfies; for others, it meant … Continue reading Broods Ignite Passion at Their First “Local” LA Show, Supported by Jarryd James

Intimacy Ebbs and Flows in Paul Bergmann’s New LP, Stars and Streams

sngalbums: Originally appeared on Grimy Goods.  As I ponder this record, the final image is one that I can’t seem to shake. Paul Bergmann arranged his new album, Stars and Streams, so a track called “Goodbye” feels like everything is coming to a close, yet is only the penultimate track on the record. The song that follows, “100 Years,” releases not only the body, but … Continue reading Intimacy Ebbs and Flows in Paul Bergmann’s New LP, Stars and Streams
