• holiday gift ideas

  In case you're not a fan of what Greg Stacy or Chris Ziegler had to say about gift-giving this week, then here's a quick note to let you know about some nifty holiday gifts for those loved ones of yours. First up? Couch guitar straps. New Fidelity man Dan Perkins designs the straps, and currently they've got a great-looking line of silkscreened straps for not-too-much: $34.99 gets you the one pictured, and also? They're vegan. Nice.   Up next are a set of magnets designed by our very on

• SXSW: OC Weekly Cover Boys dios Tear it Up

  Just returned from the dios set (see Chris Ziegler's 2004 cover story here) at the Chuggin' Monkey (located a few blocks from Mooseknuckle's and Uncle Flirty's Loft...seriously). Despite undergoing some lineup changes over the past few years, the band continues to amaze me with how ferociously they can perform live. [Full disclosure: I have at times played Guitar Hero and been entertained by the card magic of founding member Jimi Cabeza de Vaca.] The previous bands went a little long, forcing di

  The Vandelles, LSD and the Search for God, Stevenson Ranch Davidians January 12, 2008 The Prospector Better Than: Staring at your shoes while listening to Jesus and Mary Chain’s Darklands. Download: “Swell to Heaven” by the Vandelles. The most striking thing about Stevenson Ranch Davidians is their female bassist: she plays sitting down and uses her bare feet to press pedals on her Hammond Midi Pedalboard. Otherwise, this SoCal quartet’s psych-pop shoegazery stays stuck in a laggard

• Tonight: Last Chance for Free Brookline at Detroit Bar

  All October, Orange County's Brookline - hailing from Huntington Beach and Costa Mesa - have generously played free shows at Detroit Bar every Monday. Being that today is the last Monday in October, that for sure makes tonight your last chance to see them there for freesies. The band has had some solid opening acts, including the scintillating The Happy Hollows. Tonight's openers, LA's Warpaint, who Chris Ziegler wrote about in the latest Weekly. A perfect alternative for those bummed they cou

• TONIGHT: Gestapo Khazi, Wounded Lion, Frustrations, and Tijuana Panthers at The Prospector

  ​As much as all of us music writers would like to believe it, we know that sometimes readers don't always get to the bottom of every article. And even if you manage to make it all the way through the story, sometimes the awesomeness of what you just read prohibits you from going further down and looking at the plug for the show that the artists is playing that week. Well, in case you missed that small part of Chris Ziegler's article on L.A. band Wounded Lion this week, have no fear. This is yo
