It’s been a minute since L.A. Witch last headlined their hometown. 26 months since their Dr. Martens Presents show at Gold-Diggers, to be precise. In the interim, our favorite psych garage rockers released their second album Play with Fire, further fueling the anticipation for their return - check out our photos from the bands tour kick-off and find out when they’re ripping through your town.
Saturday night we made it out to The Echo to catch Kamikaze Palm Tree, J.R.C.G., Moonily and Oog Bogo - it was amazing, obviously.
It’s no secret — we love Kill Birds. Their 2019 self-titled debut was a gorgeous encapsulation of indie rock and punk that mystified and gripped us. While the record had its more deeper moments, the pervading score was like a fog slowly rolling in, slowly consuming.
At the end of last week, LA’s Girl Friday kicked off their upcoming US tour at Non Plus Ultra with Gal Pal and our faves Moonily
We beat the hell out of the Monday’s by going to The Echo to catch some free Monday night action with sets by Warbly Jets, Reggie Watts, Chloe Chaidez + PSY, Dove Armitage, and To Cut Through The Static.

Remember the “Parasites Lost” episode of Futurama? It’s the one where Fry eats a bathroom vending machine egg salad sandwich, and the worms dramatically boost his intelligence and health. Sometimes I have to wonder if The Paranoyds also stumbled upon some rotten source of superpowers, because their videos take no hostages when capturing the viewer’s attention.
Kelsey Reckling has been keeping busy during quarantine in Los Angeles, CA by recording new music, doing a ton of baking - and watching 13,500 birds migrate over the Santa Clarita mountains, epic.
It’s only fitting that Kevin’s brand of Screamers vs. La Bouche weirdness would end up sound-tracking the apocalypse. On their latest single “Sun Moon Urgent Care,” the Los Angeles quartet’s sinister vibes and dystopic tones take a proggier direction as their penchant for unease builds towards an inescapable sensation of impending multiversal cosmic doom.
