Hope to see you tonight!

MORE TONIGHT: Dan Deacon "America" Listening Party 8 pm!

Since the dawn of time, Origami Vinyl has thrown the best Listening Parties and givin' the people what they want: yummy pizza, cool bevs, and giveaways just for hanging out listen to a great new album in its totality. The ancient tradition continues tonight at 8 pm as we celebrate the release of Dan Deacon's new album, America, out August 28th on Domino Records! 

The record maintains Deacon's recognizable cyclone of joyful pop we all know and love while allowing his progress as a musician to shine along with the thoughtful concept behind the album. He explains, "the inspiration for the music was my love of cross-country travel, seeing the landscapes of the United States, going from east to west and back again over the course of seasons. The lyrics are inspired by my frustration, fear and anger towards the country and world I live in and am a part of."

We're also giving away these rad 2' x 3' flags with purchase of the album! Join the party and take pictures of your flag for this awesome contest!

Monday is also the perfect day for you come to Origami because we have two bands, Weed & Babysitter playing in-store at 7pm before the listening party! Here is the amazing video for "True Thrush" off of America:

6 PM TONIGHT: Double Dose In-store w/ Weed + Babysitter!

Two of the most difficult bands to search on the internet, Weed & Babysitter, are playing in-store tonight 6 pm! They are reppin' British Columbia so show em some tour love as you see the two bands play for free.

Weed is a heavy, grungy, sludgy pop band from Vancouver BC. They have released two 7"s on indie label Cruising USA. The latest, Gun Control EP, came out mid May of this year and includes four uniquely cool, disoriented and grimey rock songs. Check out "Tie To Everything You Own" below.

Babysitter keeps the Canadian flowin' with their spazzy and fun punk rock sound that pins the listener and playing band in a competition of who can have the most fun. This band probably get's no sleep. Since forming in the fall of 2010, Babysitter has released twelve tapes and two 7"s, all while maintaining a heavy touring schedule and working on a debut LP.  They experiment with every sound under the umbrella of punk rock, and they stay rad while doin' it. Listen to "Holiday" off their split 7" with Korean Gut on Student Loan Records right here.


Hey, why not stick around for the Dan Deacon listening party at 8? Monday night is an OV hat trick. It all starts at 6. Seeee yaaa!

TODAY: In-store w/ Brass Bed 5pm!

As spicy as gumbo and crazy as Mardi Gras, Brass Bed is bringing the heat with an in-store today, on this beautiful Sunday, at 5:00pm.

Brass Bed has psychedelic sounds that are really subtle, like unexpectedly diet psych that's mixed with electrified folk and is so delicious you enjoy it more than the classic. Their full-length album, The Secret Will Keep You, is set to release 2013, but the Bullet For You 7" Crossbill Records released is a fantastic three-song distraction. Title track, "Bullet for You" is "a smoke-wreathed piece of pleading, romantic rock that explodes into a gnashing guitar solo redolent of post-Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Wilco" (SPIN).

These Louisianna natives are touring the west coast, so you prolly don't want to miss a free in-store at OV, now do ya? We didn't think so.

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.

On the go since 2010, Dime Runner hails straight outta the OC with a high-energy punk rock garage sound.

OV + Goldenvoice Hookup = DOIN' BIG THINGS!

The high school yearbook of life just named Origami Vinyl + Goldenvoice the best couple award of the century!! We're stoked with this hookup because we're bringing you 5 rad shows this fall, 3 of which you can catch OV superstars Neil, Sean, & Bennett! Here are some details about each so you peeps can get on our level of excitement:

1) AUSTRA w/ NIGHTMARE FORTRESS, VICE DEVICE, & OV's very own KXLU DJ BENNETT yeahh! More 411 here.

2) Menomena (YES, MENOMENA!) w/ PVT & OV's one and only DJ Neil woohoo!! Deets here.

3) Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti w/ BODYGUARD! Info here.

5) KCRW presents Other Lives w/ Indians! Further details here.

4) Electric Guest w/ NO (yeahhh baby, come see Sean in his natural habitat!) and The Colourist! Click here for more.

Now you know the awesome result of this OV + Goldenvoice team up, drop by the shop to purchase tickets to any of these shows. Heck, why not buy tickets to ALL OF THEM!

TONIGHT: In-store Record Release w/ Emerson Star 7 pm!

Emerson Star (not to be mistaken with that weird home-schooled kid you knew growing up) is a rad band made up of three childhood friends from Burbank. OV is stoked to have these guys play in-store tonight at 7 pm and celebrate the release of their debut 7" by Bellwhether Record Company!

You'd be a fool to miss a band that has this description: "If the 1990s had an illegitimate love child with the 1960s, Emerson Star would probably be friends with that baby." Wouldn't we all like to be friends with that baby?!

Swing by at 7 pm for some great live tunes, cool new friends, and endless high-fives. Until then, see how many times you can listen to Emerson Star's "Pot Shots".

TONIGHT: Two Gallants "The Bloom and the Blight" Listening Party 6:30 pm!!

Do you ever feel like you're the last person to know about good things?  That ends now! We're having a Two Gallants listening party Wednesday night at 6:30 pm and you can count on OV to provide ya with the best giveaways, pizza, cold beverages, and atmosphere to hear the new record, The Bloom and the Blight, in its entirety wayyy before its release date of 9/4 on ATO Records!

We're also giving away a pair of tickets to their sold out show at El Cid TONIGHT!

If all that isn't enough for you, the guys will be at OV to sign posters for anyone who pre-orders the record!!! And why wouldn't you when "The Bloom and the Blight moves away from Two Gallants’ more folk and blues-based past, representing the duo’s ferocious live show and their past steeped in punk and grunge." OH BABY that's a sweet deal.

Do we even need to mention that you'll be hearing all the new material on the album before Two Gallants play FYF Fest on September 1?? Didn't think so.

Get excited with this free download of "Broken Eyes" above and the album trailer below while ya ink your calendars for the Two Gallants listening party tonight at 6:30 pm!

TONIGHT: In-store w/ Western Scene

It was a scorching afternoon. I visited  Western Scene's webpage and clicked on the bio tab. "Two hombres met at a cactus and cut it down for some tacos... " Sounds good to me! Equally as refreshing as cactus tacos, tonight Western Scene is performing for all in our loft at 7 pm!

Western Scene formed in 2011 by good friends Tom Pritchard and Jason Burkhart (Kenan Bell), who both played in bands prior to this fusion. Since then they've been working in Echo Park with Hugo Nicolson (Radiohead, Primal Scream) to record their debut album, which is full of perfect day-to-night jams. The beat is dancy and upbeat but the vocals and harmonies are light and kind of airy. Catchy indie-pop suitable for any hour!


Check out the event through Facebook so you can share it with your mom or that one friend who keeps posting pictures of his/her baby.

Get "Listening" below and catch ya when the little hand is on 7!
