Rock Pasta: The Wave Pictures "Spaghetti"

British rock troupe The Wave Pictures crash into Los Angeles this weekend for a performance tomorrow night at Echo with Allo Darlin' and Yellow Red Sparks.  With almost a decade's worth of self releases, and a name change to boot (formerly were Blind Summit) - David Tattersall, Franic Rozycki and Jonny Helm have earned their stripes.

Vice Magazine has said that they have "one of the most distinctive lyrical voices in Britain" and their charming pop is easy to feel on the tasty track "Spaghetti."  Its one of their newest tracks off of Long Black Cars, which was released on April 2nd.

Eat it up!

Doo Wop Pop Rock - Electric Guest's "This Head I Hold"/MONDO Record

Electric Guest's debut record got the Danger Mouse treatment - and can't say that I'm disappointed about that.  Just about everything DM touches is dope - and Mondo and its lead single "This Head I Hold" are no exception to the rule.  With an album like this - they could be destined for greatness....

It's like Danger Mouse had a baby with Mark Ronson on the production end - because it sounds so freaking good.  From the catchy electro jams in "The Bait" to the funky grove of "Awake" to the nostalgic pop throwback sounds in "Waves" to the soft ballad feel of "Amber" - Electric Guest covers a lot of sonic territory and they do it really well.  They even manage to make synthesized syncopation sound indie cool in a cryptic way on "Holes."  At times it is hard to separate where the genius is coming in, because it's not all production.  I'm not calling the album a masterpiece (yet), but these guys deserve a thank you for delivering a solid product.

My sleeper track - "American Daydream."  It's beautiful.
 
"This Head I Hold" - the quasi doo-wop pop rock track is fun, nostalgic and simple.  The video isn't.  The video is actually a complex metaphor for the moral or ethical quandary a lot of artists find themselves in - take the life of a performer and its uncertainties and dark truths?  Or the path to something else?

Kaskade is invading downtown Los Angeles in July on his Freaks of Nature Tour.  July 27, 2012 at Staples Center to be exact.

The promo video at least has to get you slightly hyped.   If you caught him in Sahara and the dancing buildings on screen - you were probably sonically and visually stunned.   The sensory onslaught continues this summer as the EDM takeover takes residence in the Lakers household.  I'm certain you probably won't find a better party that night - at least not a more energetic one.  With tickets reasonably priced at the low cost of $20 - you can expect that Staples will get CRAYBANS.
