Best Coast's Bobb Bruno & Bethany Cosentino

Hello everyone!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Far too many exceptional shows last week including last night's NO CANCER! Benefit show with No Age, Vivian Girls, Best Coast, Graham Forest, Darker My Love and more. I do believe Bethany from Best Coast's performance as one of their most entertaining yet. As I have said several times before - watch out for that band.

Tons of great shows this week including St. Vincent at The El Rey which I have been looking forward to for MONTHS! Its been far too long since I've had my Annie fix. Her new video for for "Laughing With A Mouth Full Of Blood" is amazing.

Also this week Brit buzz band Mumford & Sons will play a SOLD OUT show at The Troubadour and The Album Leaf will play at the El Rey Theatre with Sea Wolf on Saturday. The Monolators will also play their first show ever at The Smell this Friday with Make Me from San Francisco!

Did we forget any shows? Add to the hype machine! Feel free to send us an email to tonightinla@rockinsider.com.

The Soft Pack 10 Release Shows In 1 Day This Sat. Jan 30th, 2010

We're back from an extended hiatus while we were out on the road!!!

First things first - Beach House's amazing 3rd album "Teen Dream" is available NOW on Sub Pop. The album is already #10 on the iTUNES album chart! People seriously this record is a MUST LISTEN. Pitchfork even gave it a well deserved 9.0. I've listened to "Walk In The Park" at least 9 times today alone. Download "Norway" from the album in the side bar.

Crystal Antlers - Tentacles from The Heap on Vimeo.

Second - Crystal Antlers have a new video for their track "Tentacles." WATCH IT RIGHT HERE.

Crystal Antlers are back in Southern California after pretty much a 1.5 years of straight touring. The band are working on writing and recording their sophomore album. Really excited to see how things progress.

So many great shows this week including FYF Presents 10 shows in 1 day with The Soft Pack this Saturday Jan. 30th. Avi Buffalo will be playing with them at the FMLY Mansion in Venice at 1PM. THE SHOW IS FREE! For all the details on the other 10 shows follow FYFFest or The Soft Pack on twitter. You can also find details right here.

Bondy- aka Scott Bondy who spent most of the 90's fronting the band Verbena - put out what I consider one of the most underrated records of 2009 - When The Devil's Loose. You can download the track below but do yourself a favor and nab the whole album on iTUNES.

TO ENTER: Send your full name to tonightinla@rockinsider.com subject line: AA BONDY. REMEMBER: The show is an early show and begins at 6PM so get there early!

Vampire Weekend Album Release Show At Henry Fonda Theatre Tues. Jan. 12th

Happy Monday everyone!

This first week back after the holidays certainly was a productive one! So many great shows so little time. I did manage to catch 60-Watt Kid and Glasser at Spaceland on Saturday. 60-Watt Kid BLEW MY FREAKIN MIND. Their lush spacey songs are will know doubt draw comparison to Animal Collective and Atlas Sound but their energy is straight up punk rock. If you haven't had the opportunity to catch this band yet do yourself a favor and make it a priority.

Lots of great shows this week including Vampire Weekend's SOLD OUT date at The Henry Fonda and Wednesday's Jam For Stooges guitarist Ron Asheton at The Roxy featuring Mike Watt among others.

Our show of the week however is a slam dunk at Spaceland this Sun. Jan 17th with Adam Franklin (Swervedriver) and The Bolts of Melody. You will want to arrive early for the opening acts. Also playing next Sunday will be a new project by Mr. Jack Burnside of Mezzanine Owls fame that has be christened with the name Rabbits. Jenni Tarma (Eskimohunter) Dan Horne (Mezzanine Owls, Music Go Music, Beachwood Sparks), and Chris Newcomer (The Arms) will also be sitting in.

This Week In LA: Sonic Youth, Atlas Sound, Brilliant Colors, Woodsman, Best Coast

noreply@blogger.com (JAX) — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 05:53:00 +0000

Brilliant Colors (San Francisco, CA)

Welcome back from the holiday break! It is a new decade can you believe it? I sure can't. I even went as far as accidentally writing 20010 on my rent check because I'm so used to the double zeroes.

Plenty of amazing shows this week including our show of the week featuring San Francisco's Briliant Colors. Seriously download their track "Absolutely Anything" in the sidebar and tell me that's not a smash. They will be joined by Best Coast, Dunes (feat the fabulous Kate Hall on drums), and Animal Style. Let's just say you'd be kicking yourself if you missed this show.

Up and coming Mexican Summer glo-fi/ambient act Woodsman will also hit LA this week playing three show including a free in-store at Origami on Tues. Jan 5th. I really enjoyed their new Collages LP. Pick it up right here.

Bradford Cox of Deerhunter will bring his Atlas Sound side project to the Natural History Museum Friday night kicking off their First Fridays series. He will be joined by the fabulously eccentric Tune-Yards.

Oh and some band called Sonic Youth are in town playing two make up shows. If anyone has an extra ticket just lying around please feel free to e-mail me.

Local Natives Play at The Echo Dec. 22nd w/ Voxhaul Broadcast & Chief

The holidays are upon us and most of you are probably off to the 4 corners of the world to be home for the holidays. I myself will be heading home to Salt Lake City for a few days of quality fam time.

If you're in LA for the holidays there is still plenty to see and do. Lady Gaga's Monster Ball Tour is pulling into town for the next 3 days, Local Natives will play at The Echo on Tuesday (Our show of the week) and lots of local shows if you're in the mood to check out some new music.

TICKET GIVEAWAY!

What would the holidays be without a little gift giving! We're giving away a pair of tickets each for St. Vincent @ The El Rey Theatre Feb. 9th and The Black Lips at The El Rey w/ No Bunny Jan 23rd. To enter: Send an e-mail with your full name subject line: ST. VINCENT TICKETS or BLACK LIPS TICKETS to tonightinla@rockinsider.com. Winners will be chosen at random by Dec. 31st, 2009!

Next week plenty of New Years Eve action! I personally will be playing at Spaceland with The Monolators, The Henry Clay People, Le Switch, and Aushua. If you live on the east side this should be your place to be New Years Eve!

RIP Brittany Murphy

noreply@blogger.com (JAX) — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 21:28:00 +0000

Pearl Harbor (Los Angeles, CA)

Well last week just flew by didn't it? December seems to do that..

This week is pocked with holiday celebrations and last shows of the year. An amazing amount of solid local bills this week. If you haven't ventured out to see local music in quite some time might I recommend getting out of your house to check out Shirley Rolls, The Henry Clay People, Tearist, Correatown, Avi Buffalo, Pizza!, Signals, Evan Voytas, and Le Face at some point this week?

There are also plenty of Holiday Soirees to make sure you'll be well fed and slighty tipsy. Remember to drive safe out there...

New batch of MP3's can be found in the sidebar. Download them now so you know what's going on with music.

Did we forget any shows? Feel free to send us an email to tonightinla@rockinsider.com.

THIS WEEK IN LA: Cold Cave, Girls, Little Girls, Abe Vigoda, Nite Jewel, Pity Party

noreply@blogger.com (JAX) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 21:56:00 +0000

Thanksgiving is officially behind us and now it's full force til Christmas.The entire music industry shuts down after Dec 10th which means far less tours but more holiday parties stocked with Egg Nog!

Some scene gossip: Local Natives have just signed to French Kiss Records and will be putting out their debut LP Gorilla Manor on Feb. 17th. Congrats gents! I have known Local Natives a very long time and I'm excited they've found such a good home.

Indie darlings Cold Cave will return to Southern California this week with two shows. I missed them at FYF Fest back in September and I'm excited to see them for the first time this week.

Also highly recommended this week is Toronto Lo Fi project Little Girls who will be playing at The Bordello this Wednesday Dec. 2nd w/ Jubilee and Whoa Hunx and who could forget Girls at The Troubadour this Sat. Dec. 5th w/ The Morning Benders and Tamaryn.

Dum Dum Girls to to headline Spaceland Nov. 28th w/ Tartans, and Pearl Harbor

Happy Monday everyone!

With Turkey Day this Thursday it is definitely a light week for shows. I'm also certain that most of you will be tightening up your belts in preparation for the holiday spending season and will undoubtedly be attending far less shows in the coming weeks.

That's why we're hooking you up with even more concert tickets for free. Want to win a pair of tickets to see Dum Dum Girls this Saturday at Spaceland with LA Record cover girls Pearl Harbor and the absolutely amazing Tartans?

E-mail your full name to tonightinla@rockinsider.com SUBJECT LINE: Dum Dum Girls Tickets.

Some great shows this week in the Southland. New Jersey Glo-fi project Real Estate are in town in support of their debut LP which recently recieved Best New Music honors from Pitchfork. The band will be playing TONIGHT at Spaceland w/ Happy Hollows and again TOMORROW at Echo Curio with my votes for the next locals to break Best Coast & Pearl Harbor.

Rounding out shows this week: Lissie fresh off a three night stint opening for Ray LaMontagne will play the Bootleg Theatre Tuesday with Leslie & The Badgers, KISS will play Staples Center on Wednesday, Japandroids and Surfer Blood will hit The Echo on Friday post Turkey day, and Peaches will headline The Wiltern on Saturday with the help of Amanda Blank.

Taking A Little Break From Blogging...

noreply@blogger.com (JAX) — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 18:46:00 +0000

Hello everyone,

I'm sure you've no doubt noticed my severe lack of writing over the last two months. As life has become increasingly hectic and the demands of the 70 other things I do in addition to keeping this blog have become more trying I have decided to put Rock Insider on a bit of a hiatus.

I will still be posting the occasional video, upcoming events, and great MP3s but not on a daily basis.

This is not me quitting the blog world for good. Think of it as a little bit of a vacation :) Rock Insider has been a daily obsession of mine for over 4 years. I don't see my willingness to write about music diminishing anytime soon.

Hopefully we will be back and better than ever before you know it!

Sincerely
JAX

The Feelies "Crazy Rhythms" & "The Good Earth" Re-Issues Out Now

noreply@blogger.com (JAX) — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 15:00:00 +0000

[MP3] The Feelies - Crazy Rhythms
[MP3] The Feelies - On The Roof

This year has been probably the best year in recent memory for re-issues but none have grabbed my interest as much as Bar/None's release of The Feelies two classic albums "Crazy Rhythms" and "The Good Earth." you bet your ass I ordered these LPs the second they went on pre-sale.

The Feelies recently played "Crazy Rhythms" start to finish at ATP last weekend in NYC. You can watch video of their performance below.

ORDER BOTH ALBUMS FROM BAR/NONE'S WEBSITE.

Ducktails - Landscapes

noreply@blogger.com (JAX) — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 15:00:00 +0000

There is something deliciously youthful about New Jersey based ambient noise artist Matthew Mondanile aka Ducktails' amazing new album Landscapes. Matthew's raw lo-fi mostly instrumental tracks seem to radiate postive energy and a feel that is decidedly SoCal. The album features loads of delay-riddled guitar, warbled fuzz, and child-like synths.

Landscapes is out now on Old English Spelling Bee. Purchase the LP right here.
