TONIGHT IN LOS ANGELES: MORE GREAT SHOWS

LA is a virtual playground this week of amazing music, making everyone have fits as to which show to go to on a given night. Here are my favorites tonight...

Future Sounds loves THE YELLING, straight up. They play at The Viper Room tonight at 11:30pm. This band's blitzkrieg will blow out your eardrums. Prepare for it or expect to say "what?" all day tomorrow. This band will be everyone's darling in 2009, say you saw them when now.

All the way down from San Jose, it's THE MUMLERS, someone we featured on FS32, finally coming into the city and playing the Silverlake Lounge. Completely fresh and original!

We've played him a lot on the radio show, but then again, so has everyone these days. He's an "it" guy right now, but worth seeing and talented > MILES BENJANMIN ANTHONY ROBINSON at The Echo.


And not to be left out, the frontman for THE RINGERS is a freak from another planet, and I mean that in the absolute best possible way. Some might say he's electric (boogie-woogie-woogie) but he's nothing if not entertaining, and we've been playing them quite a bit on the radio show. THE KNIVES are also on this bill at The Roxy.

All this and we ain't counting Vampire Weekend again tonight at The Wiltern or Tokyo Police Club at The Fonda. Good luck making a selection.

END OF PROGRAM

NEW SOUNDS: MILES BENJAMIN ANTHONY ROBINSON

Big thanks to Jennifer over at ASCAP for the tip on today's NEW SOUNDS artists - MILES BENJAMIN ANTHONY ROBINSON. This Brooklyn based artist's full length that hit my mailbox is one that I'm sure many will be talking about for the rest of the year. Miles now has a backing band, The Black Boys, and has worked with GRIZZLY BEAR and TV ON THE RADIO yet his bio says he "has squandered much of his initial momentum and potential promise in an alcoholic haze and series of shambling ". His self-titled full length will drop on July 1st on Say Hey Records and it's been on heavy rotation since it's arrival. Immediate standout track "Buriedfed" will pull you in. A quick Google search brings you to a great post on Stereogum and some free downloads for you:

Looks like FADER has put him on the cover of their upcoming Summer issue today...check it
