So everyone, meet your next superstar, right here. Son Gulien. French refugee who now lives in Boston (god help him).

Such Hot Blood (Island Def Jam) Produced by Jacquire King Release Date: Tuesday, April 30 There are so many ghosts.

But despite […]
IMPORTANT: SHOWS AFTER 3/29 DURHAM, NH HAVE BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO AN IMPENDING AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT (TOUR) (congratulations guys!) A noisy and beautiful psychedelic assault comes to Allston tomorrow night. Nightmare Air is a band I’ve written about before in musings, as part of my annual Eastside L.A. Roundups.

And by “friendship,” I don’t mean posting something witty on someone’s facebook page, but coming to their rescue in the middle of the night on some desolate highway after […]

For a full schedule of bands during this six-night extravaganza, check out Ryan’s […]
For those new to ‘musings’… Often referred to as the ‘Silverlake region’, the Eastside of Los Angeles seems to have a ridiculously disproportionate number of awesome bands that call the area home (or at least, that’s where they regularly play). In addition to Silverlake, this also includes the neighborhoods of Echo Park, Los Feliz, Eagle […]
