BRMC rocked the Wiltern last night with a set identical to Sunday's performance at the House of Blues in San Diego. Photographer Timothy Norris was also there to capture the moments.
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club plowed through their catalog with hits like "Love Spreads," "Ain't No Easy Way," "Whatever Happened To My Rock & Roll" and "Red Eyes and Tears." The songs chosen from Howl still hold up and sounded amazing when Peter Hayes hit the harmonica in unison with big strums of acoustic guitar waves. Speaking of waves...
The band was feeling very generous by the end of the night as bassist/vocalist Robert Levon Been handed over a Gibson black hollowbody bass to a lucky female fan. That never happens to me.

Yep, the phrase "that's boss" comes from Riptide, which was shot on location in my hometown of Redondo Beach, CA. Other bangers from the 70's and beyond made my top 10 list.
Fun fact: Did you know that Sgt. Dee Dee McCall from Hunter had the nickname "The Brass Cupcake?"

Midnight Movies have returned to the music world with a brand new album in tow. On April 24th their second full-length, Lion the Girl, will be released on New Line Records. Their recent tours have featured new, and permanent, members Sandra Vu and Ryan Wood adding more instrumentation and dynamics to their already stellar live sound.
I caught up with Gena, Larry, Ryan and Sandra before their recent gig at West Hollywood's Viper Room. Also, if you ever need a driver for your 45-foot tour bus look up a guy named Walter (he resembles a pirate).

The newly renovated EXPLX is nice, roomy and decked out like a dance club with bathroom attendants in full force. Unfortunately the sound guy was a little too eager to throw on “Neon Bible” every 20 minutes, almost every set was cut in half.

Wesley Pentz, affectionately known as Diplo, has made a name for himself by mashing-up eclectic mixes of crunk, baile funk, and hip-hop, producing the stellar Arular LP (M.I.A.), and recently forming his own Mad Decent label.

the show was epic. the rockier version of 666 a major highlight, and the ending with all you do is talk just blew the whole wiltern away.
