When checking the mail today, I was mostly hoping for a copy of "Heart On," the oh-so cleverly/naughtily titled third album from Eagles of Death Metal. I didn't get that, but I got something arguably* better - "Undeniable," the "first new non-soundtrack album" by fictional trio Alvin and the Chipmunks.
Riding a crest of fame buoyed by the $217 million take of last year's feature film (seriously, it actually made that much), Alvin, Simon and Theodore are back with an album of covers and "four ne
Some people might say "free is always a good thing," but that's not really true. What about, like, a free jar of infectious diseases? That'd be pretty lame. Luckily, tonight's show at Detroit Bar is not only free to get in, but completely free of jars of infectious diseases. Hurray! It's your last chance to see LA bands Huntingfield (formerly Northern, a helpful note that seems to incessantly follow their name in print) and the Ringers for free at the Costa Mesa venue, where they've had a Monday
Jesse Hughes might be tough to love at times--calling President Obama a communist in a recent interview, for instance-but there's no denying that he knows to rock out. And no matter what his politics may be, he's got one of the most charming on-stage presences out there (he's adorable!). All good reasons to consider the Eagles of Death Metal (pictured) show on Saturday, June 6, at the Glass House in Pomona. Tickets are $15, and on sale tomorrow (Friday, May 1) at noon. Their most recent record,
Another weekend is gone, and do we even need to say once more that it was a busy one for the ol' OC Weekly? Well, you've probably already read the sterling review of the Offspring at Irivne's Verizon Wireless Amphitheater on Friday night by our guy David J. Nicolas. But have you seen the photos taken by Robert Fayette? No? Well, they're here! But if you thought Friday was good, Saturday was even show-ier! Like Clues at Detroit Bar--a show I was at. The Montreal band was neat, with some nifty ins
Amanda Milius​Remember the Willows? They're back! In Pog form! Well, that's just not true (unfortunate, yes). But they are back with a new album, Everyone, scheduled for release on November 17. It's their second album on Steve Aoki's Dim Mak label, following 2007's Chautauqua.
The Glass House has been on a pretty good run of shows lately, what with the Dandy Warhols on Friday and the Eagles of Death Metal on Saturday.But wait--there's more! Tonight, Scottish pop heroes Camera Obscura are playing the Pomona venue. Tickets are $15. They just released their fourth full-length, My Maudlin Career, two months ago, read OC Weekly's review by the ineffable Tami Fertig here. And for more in-depth Scottish pop goodness, read Thomas Bond's musings about that recent release, and
