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

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.

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
