Eagulls Bring the Noise to Teragram Ballroom Alongside Adult Books and Tennis System

sngshows: Originally appeared on Grimy Goods. Words by me, pics by Wes Marsala. Every show I’ve seen at the Teragram Ballroom always exceeds my expectations. Ty Segall put on an unforgettable performance at the beginning of the year, and Julia Holter had enchanted me; now I can add Eagulls to that list. They have been on tour for a month supporting their brand new album, Ullages, and … Continue reading Eagulls Bring the Noise to Teragram Ballroom Alongside Adult Books and Tennis System

Cub Sport and LAYNE Were on Fire at the Bootleg (But Don’t Put Them Out)

sngshows: Originally appeared on Grimy Goods. Words and less-than-ideal photos by me.  If you were not at the Bootleg Theater last Thursday night, then you missed a perfect night of pop. I have been following the two acts on the bill for some time, but this was the first opportunity that I got to actually see them perform live. Local pop-rock group LAYNE opened the … Continue reading Cub Sport and LAYNE Were on Fire at the Bootleg (But Don’t Put Them Out)

Finding Solace in Ngaiire’s New Album, Blastoma

sngalbums: Originally appeared on Grimy Goods.  To achieve stadium arena fame in the music industry, you have to be very lucky and at least somewhat talented. Many times, it seems the most exciting new acts are unfairly ignored for arbitrary corporate reasons, but boutique agencies work to find those gems and polish them with care and attention. My first job out of college was at … Continue reading Finding Solace in Ngaiire’s New Album, Blastoma

“Breaking the Blues” with Amy Blaschke’s Newest LP, out July 1st — Record Release at Grande Olde Echo

sngalbums: Originally appeared on Grimy Goods.  There is not a genre so forlorn as the blues. That seems obvious; it’s all in the name. Cultural appropriation aside, blues has endured because, well, the human condition can sometimes lead us down a dark path. But Amy Blaschke takes turmoil and creates purpose in her newest album, aptly titled, Breaking the Blues. Blaschke is local to LA … Continue reading “Breaking the Blues” with Amy Blaschke’s Newest LP, out July 1st — Record Release at Grande Olde Echo

Sunstock Fest Makes a Case for Going Solar with Performances by Cults, Wavves, Kaki King and More

sngshows: Trapdoor Social Originally appeared on Grimy Goods. Words by me, photos by William Gormley. Last Saturday was one of the hottest days of the year so far. It was forecasted to be so brutal over the weekend that it prompted LADWP to caution customers against using too much A/C, or else there would be mass power outages. There could not have been a better time … Continue reading Sunstock Fest Makes a Case for Going Solar with Performances by Cults, Wavves, Kaki King and More

Adeline Hotel Delivers Uniquely Brilliant Americana Record with It’s Alright, Just the Same

sngalbums: Originally appeared on Grimy Goods.  The first line of Adeline Hotel’s newest release, It’s Alright, Just the Same is a roundabout expression of devotion. “I’ve got time of yours to waste,” Daniel Knishkowy sings, “you don’t know it yet but just you wait.” The track, called “Oh Well,” is a tender ballad with a two-minute ending which I consider to be the true start … Continue reading Adeline Hotel Delivers Uniquely Brilliant Americana Record with It’s Alright, Just the Same
