New Music

I love finding out about new music, and the last few months have been especially fruitful for me as I have started to tip-toe into the L.A. music scene (Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, The Henry Clay People, Foreign Born).*

Last night I went to see the Soulsavers at the Troubadour. Red Ghost opened (check out covers of The Widow and A Memory) and sings on a few Soulsavers songs.

But I was really impressed by Jonneine Zapata. Turns out, she's from L.A. and is playing a bunch of shows at the Silverlake Lounge in October. I might have to venture over and check her out again.

Anyone else have any L.A. music tips, along the lines of the bands listed above?


*As a side note, I still find myself listening to way more Brooklyn-based bands, from the Dirty Projectors to Matt & Kim to Grizzly Bear. I think the highest concentration of my music comes from Brooklyn. My current Brooklyn obsession is The Drums.
