OV Presents: Texas Is The Reason @ The Fonda

"Let's get emo together this Saturday and bang our fists upon our chests!" - Neil Schield

Yes, Neil, we will do that at the Texas Is the Reason and The Jealous Sound show at the Fonda tonight that we're co-presenting alongside Goldenvoice. I kid you not when I say I almost teared up watching the teaser video for this tour a few months back, and now that the day is here I am excited to spend a couple hours with one of the most influential bands in hardcore history. Take a listen to "Back And To The Left" and we'll see you tonight.

THIS JUST IN! Dan Deacon In-Store & Signing at OV

Dan Deacon will be playing a very special in-store DJ set at OV on April 2nd @ 6pm!!! Afterwards he will hang out and sign stuff. We are freaking out right now because of how awesome this is!

JUST ANNOUNCED: Silversun Pickups @ OV on Record Store Day!

Yeah you read that right, we've got Silversun Pickups coming through the shop to play an acoustic set for Record Store Day on Saturday, April 20th, so stuff THAT in your pipe and smoke it!

This is going to be a pretty crazy day, so only 40 people will be able to attend the show, and in order to pick those people we're going to be running a little contest. Here's the skinny on how to partake in the festivities:

The first 40 fans to come IN PERSON to Origami Vinyl and take an Instagram or Facebook photo holding up our sign that reads "I'm seeing SSPU at OV on APRIL 20th, 2013 for RSD" in front of the Origami Vinyl shopfront will get their name on the list (1 ticket per winner) to see Silversun Pickups play an intimate acoustic set in the OV loft on Record Store Day. Fans are required to share the photo on Instagram and/or Facebook and must tag @sspu @origamivinyl @recordstoreday and hashtag #SSPU@OVonRSD.

For those not familiar with the beginnings of SSPU, they got their start performing around the EP/Silverlake area, and we're stoked to be having these hometown heroes paying homage to their early years by playing here at Origami on RSD. They have a new album titled "Neck Of The Woods" (Dangerbird Records), and we think you should check it out, especially "The Pit," which we have conveniently provided you below.

NU RELEASES 3/25/13

Here's the newest stuff to hit the streets:

3/26: Turnbull Green In-Store @ 7pm

Come on down to OV tonight, because you've just been selected to groove out to the crazy stylings of Turnbull Green at 7pm for an intimate performance.

"Throbbing baselines and deliberately degraded synths blend seamlessly with melodic hymns and frenzied outbursts. Filled with equal parts bliss to despair, peace to paranoia, it’s as mechanical as it is organic and its a headfirst dive into the cavernous mind of Turnbull Green."

Take a listen to "Numbnose Badbrains," a jam that'll make you contemplate your very existence. See you at 7!

OV Presents: Django Django & Night Moves on 3/23 @ The Fonda

Rad show alert! We're going to be presenting the Django Django and Night Beats show at The Fonda tonight alongside Goldenvoice and KCRW. You can pick up some tickets at the shop for $24.50 (cash only) and scope out some more details here.

Take a listen to "Hail Bop" off their debut album being released on Ribbon Music, it's a winner!

Don't let these antique instruments fool ya though, these guys have worked them into an infectious "orchestral space-pop" that we're sure you'll dig. MOMS is on tour for their freshly-released killer EP, MEEMS. Free & All Ages, as always. You are in for a darn good time TONIGHT at 7pm!

Cab 20 In-Store Tonight @ 7!

Come out to OV tonight to catch young guns Cab 20 play some tunes and rock your socks off!

These dooderinos from El Segundo have "...a sound that recalls 70s garage rock with monster riffs and jagged vocals that belie their youth," and their latest 12", "Holy Denim Faded Vibrations," is nothing short of that. It's 10 songs that will satisfy every garage rock bone in your body.

Take a listen to this surfy jam titled, "Beach Song For Sheep" that was performed on the holy KXLU 88.9fm Los Angeles and we'll see you at 7!

The Herald Beat Tonight @ 7pm!

Local Los Angelinos The Herald Beat are going to be gracing OV with their presence tonight at 7pm and you know you want to come!

Their new LP "Hollow Head" "...mixes indie rock and post-rock through a combination of powerful, theatrical melodies and driving rhythms by brothers Dylan and Zack Burns." Take some time out of your day to listen to the track below titled "Hopelessly Honest," a thought provoking track whose ambient nature is reminiscent of Beach House. Give it a listen and tell us what you think!

Check out the details here and we'll see you at siete, thats 7 for all of you non-spanish speakers.

Li Xi + Ash Reiter + Couches @ 6pm

Triple Header! Music Music Music! Thursday! In Your Face! Can you feel the energy?!

We're so energized over here because tonight Li Xi, Ash Reiter and Couches are kicking off their tour at OV at 6pm and it's free. What?!

For those of you that aren't familiar, Li Xi is a San Francisco outfit that "...use dream-pop vocal melodies and combine 60's psychedelia with contemporary electronics and vintage synthesizers." If you like to get trippy, check out "Moss Beach," it'll have you feeling groovy.

Ash Reiter was our first in-store of the new year, and we are excited to be hosting her as she tours once again. Take a listen to "Ishi," and get down with it fool.

Last, but certainly not least, we've got Couches from SF. They've only been together for about 2 months and are about to release a 7" in the coming months, but we are excited to see what they have to offer.

Check out more details for tonight's 20 Sided Records takeover here and we'll see you at 6pm!

Moon Casale + Roses @ 7pm!

Tonight we've got a double header for you. First, we've got Keith Zarriello, of The Shivers, coming through the OV loft to give us a glimpse of his solo project Moon Casale. We've also got Andy Tobiassen, of Deer Tick fame, performing as Roses, so it should be a great night of music that all begins at 7pm.

Moon Casale is a pretty rad project in which Zarriello "...hopes to take his songs around the world and change the way people think about contemporary Christian music." It's a step in the other direction when compared to The Shivers, but baby, it's the right step. "I'll Turn Into A Rainbow" is the title of one of the tracks off of his self-titled album, and it'll creep you out so good.




You get extra meat on this double decker sandwich tonight courtesy of Roses. On the new self titled EP, you'll get songs that make you want to bob up and down on the dance floor and songs that'll arouse your soul, and that's how Roses does it. Listen to the funk that "Get It Right" has and you will get it. Roses rocks!

If you haven't listened to their recently released self-titled LP, then you really are missing out. On it "...the trio successfully weaves the bare roots of songwriting, the rich harmonies of choir and the symphonic arrangements of old film to create a cinematic texture of their own." Folk and Americana fans alike are going to love this album, and if you aren't sold yet, then listen to "A Play To End All Plays." I promise you will see the light.

3/2/13: Neil Schield at Noise Pop Culture Club
