TONIGHT: Electric Flower Group in-store 7pm
Tooooonighttttt ~~~ We've got a free in-store with the Electric Flower Group! The show is in celebration of their new release - EP II, which is out now on Narnack Records. The duo consists of Los Angeles locals, Imaad Wasif (guitar/vox) and Josh Garza (drums) pertaining to a style best described as "part motorik and part psychedelic." Electric Flower Group are on a journey through a modern kaleidoscope of rock 'n' roll, transcending mainstream influence and incorporating strong minimalist elements into their modern psychedelic music. In Garza’s pummeling beats and Wasif’s vocal and guitar exorcisms, we are not listening to just two men, but to an orchestra of the damned. EFG wakes the ghosts of rock's most daring days, while never following them.
The second EP from Electric Flower Group finds the visceral realist duo expanding their sound beyond the rawness of their first EP to explore the dimensions of depth and width. This EP is proof that music today can be Cinematic and Conceptual without the complications of Over-Instrumentation as demonstrated within the Modern Overarching Epic. Conversely, it moves against the wake of new-fangled blues stomp rock and the limits of its obligatory two-piece bands. Side two of the EP is dedicated to a cover of Scott Walker’s dark symphonic ode to S&M, “The Electrician,” done to such effect that it cuts to the core of the original, its primitive brightness reaching far out into other corner.
Well there you have it. See you tonight at 7pm!

TONIGHT: In-Store Twin Steps + Brainstorm 6pm
Two bands in-store tonight! woah, let's get cray. Twin Steps a sample based trio representing Oakland have just released their debut EP, Serial Parade, off the San Francisco record label Cola Bruin. Known for their experimentation of beautifully blending oldies, soul, and experimental rock & roll, their first single, Pinkie Promise, illustrates this aesthetic by sampling Etta James with 60's pop guitar lines and polished vocals resulting in this six minute ride of sultry sonic bliss. Brainstorm, described as one of Portland's best kept secrets, will bring the high energy. Blending contempoary alt-rock sounds with old American Spirtuals and desert blues with dual exchange vocals, it is easy to see why they are described as all of Portlands's music scene whilred in a blender--and everyone loves a music smoothie. See you tonight!

TONIGHT: NO Residency at the Echo Night 4
Unfortunately, like all good things, the NO March Residency has to come to an end. Tonight is the final night! Join us next door at The Echo as we reminisce the good times had at the last three residency shows and jam to the tunes of Echo Park's very own NO. The band put out their 12" on our very own Origami Vinyl record label last month and have since been receiving some rather favorable feedback from all of you fans. They played a whole ton of shows at SXSW a few weeks ago and are headed out on a mini US tour with Races in a few days. Tonight, they're playing with Young Hunting (LA dreampop), Black Flamingo (a group of friends who love to create together), and Raw Geronimo (Jungle-Punk-Soul-Surf-Goth-World-Avant-Pop-WILDNESS).

TODAY: Imperial Teen in-store 1pm
TODAY!! - We have an exclusive in-store with the infamous Imperial Teen!! Imperial Teen first gained notice with their debut album, Seasick, in 1996, which Spin Magazine declared as the 4th best album of the year, and one of the top 50 albums of all time. 16 years and four albums later, the group has garned a rather reputable status, with inclusion on many "Best of" album lists and gigs opening for The Breeders and Hole. The band recently put out a new record, Feel the Sound, on Merge Records and will be performing tracks from the album here at OV!
The fifth album by Imperial Teen, Feel the Sound, succeeds completely at its goal, plainly stated in the collection’s title. Like the sharpest pop music, Feel the Sound gets you to keep coming back for more, but unlike so much music today, it rewards you for doing so, giving you the experience of a fulfilled and yet still yearning, lively potential, one that will be further realized when the songs are performed live.

TONIGHT: This Frontier Needs Heroes & Levi Strom in-store 7pm
Tonight! We've got a very sweet in-store with two very sweet artists - This Frontier Needs Heroes and Levi Strom. This Frontier Needs Heroes is the Alternative Folk duo of brother-sister Brad and Jessica Lauretti from Brooklyn, NY. Listening to This Frontier Needs Heroes is like having Brad and Jessica play in your backyard while the sun comes up. With their powerful delivery and delicate harmonies; their songs are full of honest, personal stories of love, loss and longing for a better world. After receiving positive feedback on their debut in 2009, TFNH put out their follow-up, THE FUTURE, on their very own Heroic Endeavors Records in May of last year. The record, which was recorded in an old school house in Wassaic, NY, has wild new songs about all of their rambling experiences including new visions about space, family, heroes, history, and dogs.
Also playing is Big Sur California's own, Levi Strom. When you hear Levi play it's hard not to be drawn in by his powerful voice and presence and by the end everyone in the audience feels like family. His simple, heart-felt tunes are oddly catchy and rich with gravity heavy lyrics well beyond his 30 years. Levi has toured the USA and Europe with folk legend Kath Bloom and is currently working with Bloom on a new record.
Alright! Catch both This Frontier Needs Heroes and Levi Strom TONIGHT at 7pm. See you at the loft.

"With their new album, Court the Storm, Portland OR's Y La Bamba return with a haunting second full-length of delicately crafted art folk. "The voice is most effective when it's indistinguishable from the emotion of the lyric as well as the drama of the rhythm and chords" says NPR's Felix Contreras when discussing Y La Bamba's stunning front-woman, adding "...Luz Elena Mendoza stands very near the front of this pack." On Court the Storm, these ethereal vocals combine with bittersweet melodies and thrumming Latin-inspired rhythms to form an indie pop masterpiece."

TONIGHT: Brass Tax in-store 7pm
7pm at the loft! We've got an in-store with LA's very own - Brass Tax! The free show is going down in honor of the release of the much anticipated debut, "Brass Tax Album."
The creation of LA-based multi-instrumentalist/songwriter Jada Wagensomer, Brass Tax conjoins 60s soul and garage rock with smart, classic storytelling pop inspired by The Kinks, Van Dyke Parks, Randy Newman, Dusty Springfield, and Harry Nilsson, all tied together with a swath of punk spirit.
The songs on "Brass Tax Album" comprise a work of immaculate detail with wide array of instrumentation (saxophone, violin, lap steel, wurlitzer, wind chimes, kazoo, etc) coloring the spaces between Wagensomer's clever, sometimes dark (sometimes humorous) tales. Growing in depth and resonance with each listen, it's an album that sounds epic and spacious but the subject matter brings it somewhere closer, more intimate. The record was released last month on Neurotic Yell Records on both CD and 12" white vinyl. Come on down at 7pm to score a copy and for some in-store fun! See you there.

TODAY!: Gagakirise in-store 4pm
Tonight - Free in-store with Gagakirise!! The show is going on at the loft at 4pm. From the underground of the capitol city of Japan: Tokyo, two long-black-hair (and skinny) dudes are trying to break something with full-contact karate guitar riffs and unstoppable drums.
The two met in 2008 and realized they both hate moths. The band was named Gagakirise, meaning "We hate moths." As soon as the volcanic sounds sprang from a tiny but cozy space, they started gaining attention of indie music fans in Tokyo. Then it spread out all over Japan and Gagakirise received an invitation for SXSW in 2009. In Japan, Gagakirise has played with many great bands/musicians like Juiceboxxx, Vivian Girls and My Disco. Also, they have released splits with Juiceboxxx and Fiasco.
They hit the US twice, including SXSW 2009 and 2010, and now they are going to meet Californians. This may get many people surprised and tell them, only the tip of an iceberg though, what current Japanese music is like. Gagakirise will tell you how fun music is. Definitely make it out to OV today if you're in the mood for some Japanese noise rock! See you then.

TONIGHT: In-Store Lou Barlow/Sentridoh 7pm
Do you ever dream that it is 1987 and you are in the presence of Lou Barlow watching him perform in an awesome record store? Well tonight we are making all your dreams come true. The lo-fi legend himself, Lou Barlow will be performing as Sentridoh, his first solo project that started in his parent's basement while he was working with Dinosaur Jr. This album, Weed Forestin, (which Barlow insists he was not high when he recorded this) is being reissued along with bonus material from Child of the Apocalypse and can be found on Sentridoh's bandcamp. Described as the most "barlow-centric" album, it was originally only released in a limited amount of cassettes in 1987 then in 1990 released on CD's by Homestead under his other high acclaimed project Sebadoh--flash forward to 2012--Weed Forestin is being released as 1,000 vinyl records, 150 double packaged CD's and 150 cassette tapes. Better get your hands on one these gems, especially since it just scored best new music on Pitchfork! See you tonight at 7pm!

Hope to see you tonight!
ALSO - we'll be having an exclusive listening party of the new Lost in Trees record! Lush clusters of piano, a mysterious sound that might be something being unwrapped, or paper crushed for kindling, and A Church That Fits Our Needs, the second album by North Carolina group LOST IN THE TREES, presents itself as a work of vaulting ambition, a cathedral built on loss and transformation. In the summer of 2009 Ari Picker – writer, composer, and architect of the band – lost his mother, an artist in her own right, when she took her own life. Picker was in the midst of releasing his band’s debut album, All Alone in an Empty House, a collection of folk‐inflected songs that surprised with its orchestral arrangements, to an acclaim usually reserved for seasoned veterans. The result is A Church That Fits Our Needs, an album that can stand beside not only musical journeys like Neil Young’s Tonight’s the Night and Bon Iver’s For Emma, Forever Ago, but also such literature of loss as Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking. Such is the honesty of Picker’s writing that he lays before us his loss in all its complexity of sadness, fear, joy, and wonder.

TODAY: Now, Now in-store 1:30pm
Today! We have an exclusive early afternoon in-store going on at the loft. Performing live is Now, Now - a youthful trio out of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The band, composed of Cacie Dalager (Vocals, Guitar), Jess Abbot (Vocals, Guitar), and Brad Hale (Drums, Synth). Now, Now recently put out their second full-length, Threads, on Trans-Records. The record is described as an exploration of the fragile and often transitory nature of our existence, our perceived understanding of the world around us and relationships shared with others physically and emotionally. Produced by Howard Redekopp (Tegan and Sara, An Horse, New Pornographers), Threads forms a sprawling sonic endeavor that showcases the bands incredible growth as songwriters and musicians. Vulnerable vocals give way to oceans of sound retaining definition via deftly layered guitar parts augmented by lingering synths which alternate between background and center stage.
With the album complete, Now, Now look to the future with great anticipation. “This band feels like an extension of us as people,” explains Dalager. “It’s something we’ve been nurturing for a long time and is all we really care about;something we’ve worked really hard for and need to make happen no matter what.” See you today at 1:30pm!

TONIGHT: Little Tybee in-store 7pm
Tonight! We've got an exclusive in-store with Paste Magazine's #1 Atlanta band to watch in 2012 - Little Tybee.
The core of each of their songs begins in the relentless and creative mind of vocalist/guitarist/pianist Brock Scott. The songs mature through the dedicated musicianship of 8-string guitarist Josh Martin, violinist Nirvana Kelly, bassist Ryan Donald, and percussionist Pat Brooks. Since the release of their first LP last year, they have discovered that change is not only inevitable, but indeed good.
While DIY in nature, Little Tybee collaborated with over 14 Atlanta instrumentalists to produce their latest album, Humorous to Bees (Paper Garden Records). With this release, Little Tybee has proven that they are just as adept at writing lilting pop ballads and sprawling orchestral melodies as they are with Motown and Tropicalia. At last, Little Tybee has found their unique voice, and they are blasting their sound with little care for the neighbors. Let's hope Two Boots, The Echo, and Backside don't mind ;). See you at 7pm!!
