 Min Siegel: adored wife, beloved friend - d.2007 I miss you, baby.
Well this kinda crap is just unacceptable. If you spot these poor kidnapped babies (Green Fender Jaguar, Black & Tan Gibson Montana) call (617)271-5775 or (323)302-2924. Quick note to the thieves / kidnappers: I spoke last night with some folks who are VERY DETERMINED to find these guitars… and maybe YOU.  OLIN & the MOON (photo by Ninelle Efremova) One of the hardest working bands in LA OLIN and the MOON are either performing, recording, rehearsing, partying or unconscious. I’m not even sure why I’m writing about them because if you hang anywhere near the east side of Los Angeles you probably already know them. Well just in case ya don’t: Possibly the best most honest heartfelt authentic band you’ll find playing folk flavored rock music right now began in Sun Valley Idaho with Singer/Songwriter David LaBrel, his brother and lead guitarist Travis and drummer Marshall Vore. In Los Angeles they met up with Brian McGinnis (pedal steel, banjo, guitar) and Kyle Vicioso (bass) and started drinkin’, starvin’ and workin’ their butts off. You can see that the effort paid off in every show. They make a sound that’s intimate and gigantic all at once. David’s voice delivers the goods communicating quiet strength and intimacy and the boys play with a precision that somehow always looks like reckless abandon. The group’s camaraderie is obvious and infectious: wherever Olin and the Moon goes the party’s fine. I was blown away the first time I saw the GYPSY RIVER HAUNTS play at Cranes Tavern, the brutal blast of rockabilly raunch these boys churn out at-the-drop-of-a-hat damn near knocked me on my ass.  Gypsy River Haunts (photo by Danielle Levitt) Even more impressive is the fact that they just get more awesome every time I see ‘em, improving the quality and tightness of their performances without taking the energy level down a single notch. If you like your rockNroll honest, raw and raucous these are the men for you to watch. Andrew Sheppard stands frontNcenter roaring out the words to their tunes with a power that belies his somewhat diminutive frame while Dustin Hollenbeck attacks that cool maroon tele like a shredder whose discovered that well executed hot country fused rockabilly licks can blow most metal players into the next county. Johnny and Salvatore man the engine room and keep this monster slammin’. Are you gettin’ my meaning here (?) … these guys are hot. OK: here’s the deal- You can catch both these must see bands this week at the weekly HOMEWORK MONDAYS event ongoing over at CRANES TAVERN ( as well as the Downtown Train – a band exuberantly tackling classic roots, r&b and blues tunes – and Ned Casual’s spot-on DJ sets of authentic the-real-shit rockin roots music). Admission is free – Attendance is mandatory (or it oughta be) OLIN & THE MOON – GYPSY RIVER HAUNTS – DOWNTOWN TRAIN  Silver Phial: Crystalline ebullient pop music with a vintage flavor Hey, there, wanna lighten up? I defy you to hold on to that existential angst once the sound of Silver Phial wafts your way. Aeronautique (from their ep released last year) is my favorite example: I put this song on and it’s an instant mood lifter. It’s like some Victorian vintage fantasy flying machine powered by the sweet side of sixties psychedelia. Lead vocalist Cheryl sings sweet n clear while sitting behind the drum kit providing the propulsion for the band, flanked by Patrick and Scott on guitar and bass. A trio whose power is in the tasteful understatement of it’s unobtrusive arrangements: cool classic pop music for dancing or dreaming. TONIGHT: 2/27 -9pm NEXT WEEK: 3/6/2010 9:00 PM
“I’m in a Band..” – The BEST in Unsigned Music All you musical types out there: take note… you might wanna contact this guy. As DJ Octoon says himself, “Of course, spread the word. We love unsigned artists…and we don’t get THAT many submissions. We start playing emailed songs at 10:30AM! So on Sunday, instead of church, go to www.UCLAradio.com, request (Phone #: 310-825-9999), and listen in!” Indeed! We’d like to encourage you to support Mister Nervous with a call to request our “single” from the DRAMA album REASON TO HOPE. But don’t stop there. If you’ve got an mp3 track that you’re just itching to share contact Mr Octoon ( djoctoon@gmail.com ) and send him the product of your own particular genius. Because on Thursday 3/18 @ 10pm the doors of THE UNKNOWN THEATER (1110 Seward St. Los Angeles CA 90038) will open on the RECORD RELEASE PARTY for our new album DRAMA.
The second Mister Nervous album, DRAMA rocks harder than the first disc CURMUDGEON without sacrificing any of it’s songwriting intensity. Modern, Classic and Indie rock collide in 8 songs that grapple with emotional overload while still managing to be upbeat and exhilarating to listen to many times over. A chorus of cool singers added sweet backup vocals: Erin & Ben from MY IMAGINARY FRIENDS, Wes from THE MONTHLIES, Patrick & Cheryl from SILVER PHIAL, Dennis and Lydee from THE SUNDOWNERS and local thespian David Fruechting. Ben also added some great violin playing while Patrick is featured on guitars in two songs as well.Every other thump, roar, skronk, tinkle and warble comes direct to you from Wes, Kelly & Scott. We’re pretty confident yer gonna LOVE IT! |
