Clepto and Tartar Control Raise Hell and Money for Brain Injured Children
Last night, at the 13th Frame Lounge in La Habra, a bunch of weirdos got together for the Punk n Bowl Benefit Show to raise money for HBIC (Help for Brain Injured Children). There is so much low hanging fruit in jokes I could make to draw parallels between the

Vans World Cup of Surfing 2014: If in doubt, don’t go out!
There’s nothing like the Van’s Triple Crown on Hawaii’s North Shore to kick off the winter holidays. The air is clean and the sun is shining. The rain makes an appearance for ten minutes every few hours only to cool you off and then the sun comes shinning through the

OG’s, Toddlers and Whiskey for The Weirdos and Adolescents at The Observatory
When I got to the Observatory in Santa Ana, the first things I saw were teenagers drinking whiskey from water bottles, old timers drunkenly fighting in the parking lot and babes with mohawks bouncing around. The scene has been set for one of the gnarliest punk shows I’ve seen in

Avi Buffalo Ends His Tour in Los Angeles and Makes a New Fan. Me.
Fridays are usually a border town for complete disasters or an absolutely awesome night we draw tales from our entire lives. Tonight started out looking like the end of the world but I chose to run over to The Echo to see Avi Buffalo. Maybe he can work out some

If you compare musical styles, the pairing of The Abigails opening for Jonny 2 Bags seems like a perfect match. Twangy 6 strings, pedal steel and gut wrenching lyrics serve to set the tone of the night. I’m almost positive that bookers at The Echo put this bill together with

Win tickets to Avi Buffalo at The Echo on Friday 12/5
Sub Pop Records has always had a good eye for fresh, new talent. When they picked up singer/songwriter Avi Buffalo in 2011 I took notice and understood immediately what they saw in him- a great songwriter with great lyrics that fits in the mold of a sound that is very

ASAP Mob Show in Hollywood Comes Close to Riot in the Streets
This was the 30th and final day of Red Bull Sound Select’s, 30 Days in L.A. It marks the end of November and the start of the holiday season. Day 1 seemed like it was yesterday and much of the month was a blur as I covered 17 shows and

OFF! transform The Echo from a peaceful, Indie venue into a house of raw aggression
Keith Morris stopped the band from playing. As The Echo went from bedlam to a virtual hush, Morris pointed to the right of the stage and asked, “What was that I heard? I heard someone say, ‘Over the hill’”. He deferred to guitarist and ex Burning Brides front man, Dimitri

Obliterations Annihilate Jewels Catch One and Leave No Left Overs After Thanksgiving
Sometimes, the soul needs to be bathed in blood to wash away the afterbirth of the current indie music scene. While I am a fan of the current psych/surf revival, I do find myself asking often- “where is the rage?” The band, Obliterations are sand paper in a sea of
