Kissing Cousins:
Kissing Cousins is an all girl band from Los Angeles, California. As the main creative outlet for songwriter Heather Bray Heywood, Kissing Cousins has had a variety of female musicians comprise the lineup. Most of whom were friends prior to joining the band as part of the greater East Side Los Angeles music scene. Heywood's songwriting is stark, baroque, and often sexually charged. With haunting melodies over noisy guitars and pounding rhythms, Kissing Cousins' music belies the sweet appearance of their name and image.

While you wait for tonight to roll around, check out Kissing Cousins' song "You Bring Me Down" below and stop on by The Satellite every Monday this December. We'll see you there!

Perpetual OV faves, rockers and list-toppers, these two local bands have been all over the country lately, but tonight, they are coming back home to lay down a set sure to keep The Echo bumpin' and your ears ringing well into the New Year!

If ya can't make it to The Echo tonight (or if it's sold out), then you best be bringing your fave vinyl down to RCLA at El Prado to give it a public spin!

The fun gets started at 9PM, so dig out those LPs and get ready for a night of great music!

New Years Eve: Time To Party Baby!

OV's closed today: Neil's already drinking so he can get to bed early, Steen's gotta rest her voice, Simone's in like another state to party, Emily is out shopping for the perfect NYE leather jacket (which apparently is a thing?), and Sean is practicing midnight kisses with Lyra. Sorry friend, guess you'll have to wait a bit to get some wax. Or y'know, you could just order something from our online store. Problem solved.

As for me, well, I'm busy getting hype to Kidz Bop:




Thursday, January 1st
New Years Day: Time To Rest Baby!

OV's also closed today. Sippin' mimosas and watching the Rose Parade's 7th telecast. KTLA or bust. See you Friday for our regularly scheduled programming!




That's all we've got this week hombre, we gotta start picking out our feather boas out for Wednesday. See you next year, 2014's been great!

With haunting melodies over noisy guitars and pounding rhythms, Kissing Cousins' music belies the sweet appearance of their name and image.

While the last record, Pillar Of Salt, produced by Richard Swift, took a decidedly lo-fi approach, the new EP / double 7 inch Unfortunate End is heavier, darker, and meaner. Produced By S Foye, the music utilizes more experimental instrumentation like Autoharp strummed through delay pedals and drum machines played manually through distorted amps. There is still plenty of reverb soaked vocals, vicious guitar tones, and stomping drums, but for the first time, the songs twist and turn within time signatures and tempos. With Unfortunate End Heywood and Kissing Cousins continue in a long tradition of redefining what it is to be in a "girl band" and what it is to sound feminine, southern, and ultimately, unique.

Girlpool Pizza Party! OV Presents Kissing Cousins @ The Satellite!

It's almost dinner time, so why not come eat Pizza with Girlpool TONIGHT @ 6 PM?!

Cleo and Harmony will be here celebrating their first night of December residency at the Echo, and boy, you better believe we are excited this delightful duo picked us to eat some 'za with!

It's no secret that OV loves Girlpool, but let's be honest, how could you not? Girlpool has found perfection in their guitar-and bass duo, and all the profanity and sexual innuendo seems so charming and sweet when it comes from Harmony and Cleo. These girls aren't afraid to sing about anything. Girlpool is pure, raw, unadulterated fun. Their self-titled EP was released with Wichita Recordings on 11/18, and if you haven't heard it yet, get on it. You don't want to miss out longer than you already have!

SO then it's settled. Now that you have found the best way to start your month, we will see you TONIGHT with a slice of pizza in your hand!



Also on tap, at The Satellite, we've got another OV rezzie going! All December long, OV is presenting Kissing Cousins every Monday for free! More info can be found below.

New Releases, If Ya Can Handle Them! RCLA!

We know RSD just rolled around, but c'mon man, you know there's gonna be something good today at OV, there always is. Along with all the delicious leftover RSD goodies (yes we have plenty, and no, none of them are Death Grips), we'll have the best of the indie world delivered fresh to our bins!

After you've survived our new release storm, you best be bringing that new vinyl down to RCLA at El Prado to give it a virgin spin! The best place to hear what your local buds are digging, RCLA gives YOU the opportunity to spin your records and even snag a free drink in the process! The fun gets started at 9PM, so dig out those LPs and get ready for a night of great music!

Jonathan Richman @ The Bootleg!

Time for Emily to freak out. Tonight at the Bootleg, Jonathan Richman himself will be gracing L.A with his ever wonderful songwriting and wit. A national treasure for generations of fans, Jonathan Richman has been writing songs, making records and performing live for most of his life, making friends around the world with his guileless honesty and playfully catchy compositions. He’s revered by countless fellow artists, and has built a remarkably loyal international audience through his tireless touring. His deceptively straightforward songs embody timeless qualities of humanity, optimism, emotional insight and a boundless sense of humor, untainted by cynicism or transient notions of hipness. And he's in L.A for one night only tonight at the Bootleg! See you there!




Thursday, December 4th
Angel Olsen @ El Rey!

One of Neil's 2014 faves, tonight at the El Rey, Angel Olsen takes the stage in support of her excellent new album Burn Your Fire For No Witness and you best believe we'll be there! Full of the haunting ballads and shining vocals we've come to expect from Angel, her newest LP puts her among the best singer-songwriters out there, and we have a feeling she's gonna be all over year end lists when 2014 is all said and done. Which means you better see her now! Come join us at the El Rey and we can cry-sing "Unfucktheworld" together!

Friday, December 5th
Talk In Tongues In-Store!

Talk In Tongues is back in LA, and we want to share them with you. The super talented, and recently formed foursome came together in a whirlwind of inspiration, drive, and unexpected common ground. Their ethereal, dreamy, neo- psychedelic single "Still Don't Seem to Care" is killer, and has honestly left us chomping at the bit for the album release in early 2015. Things came together quickly for the band, and after just two months of studio sessions with Fairfax Recordings, the foursome seems to have it all figured out with a sound that evokes the 60s and modern psychedelia.




Saturday, December 6th
Steppe People In-Store!

Steppe People are a self-described group of yokels of whom have kept their promises to their mothers to work as little as possible, cry as much as they don't work and rock regardless of how completely irrelevant the practice of such has become. Barely able to stand on their collective eight feet its astonishing to them and everybody else that they were actually able to keep it together enough to play yet another show but here they are and oh how the mighty weep. Guitarmonies and brevity are the foundation of which they built their backwoods shack. Color us intrigued.




Now that we've planned your week, make sure to grab your 2015 calendars before the New Year!

Echo Park Rising Schedule @ Casa de OV!

In less than 24 hours we'll be partying with the whole community for Echo Park Rising!! Here is what OV has going on for the day:


1pm – 1:30pm TS & THE PAST HAUNTS
Enjoyable, playful and heavy pop punk that makes you feel safe just before they drop a massive sound on your pinky toe. 

1:45pm – 2:15pm KISSING COUSINS
Awesome girl band that successfully blends the dichotomy between feminine harmonies and forceful rock.

2:30pm – 3pm LA FONT
Polished garage rock that's too sophisticated and intricate for actual teenagers but perfect for the teenager in all of us.

3:15pm-3:45pm LINE & CIRCLE
Alternative rock backing an unstable low voice that reminds you of the 80s ... but way better.

4pm – 4:30pm SPIRIT VINE
Weepy rock that entices you to sway as ya get lost in the sonic waves and swirling vocals. 

4:45pm- 5:15pm COSMONAUTS
Catchy and fuzzy psych rock that's straight outta a rebellious teenage alien's garage. 

5:30 HOLLOYS
Take pulsing jungle beats with a semi-psychedelic groove and throw glitter on it all.



Swing by to see these bands and give us a high five! And check out the full schedule HERE.
