Cayucas (pronounced "ky-yook-us") new album, Bigfoot (Secretly Canadian), drops today and we get to celebrate with them! Not only that, but the band is kicking off their first ever full North American tour tonight as well! Join us in the shop TONIGHT at 7pm as Cayucas plays a special FREE in-store performance and be sure to snag a copy of Bigfoot!

Formerly known as Oregon Bike Trails, Cayucas has adapted a lively indie pop sound that can be recognized in their single, "High School Lover" (Father/Daughter Records). Check out a preview of their new record with the music video for "High School Lover" before you swing by tonight at 7pm!

ADDED BONUS: The ice cream man will be dishing out free ice cream to all the folks that come check out Cayucas tonight! (A free show AND free ice cream?! What reason is there not to come?!)

TONIGHT (4/27) The Sudden Passion In-Store @ 7pm!

Hey folks! Be sure to stop by OV tonight, because we've got The Sudden Passion in-store performance at 7pm!

With a gritty, country influenced lo-fi sound, this Los Angeles band recently released their second full-length LP, "Southern Fashion," and successfully ran a Kickstarter to raise funds to release this LP on a limited-run colored 12" vinyl. So stop by tonight to catch the full band playing tunes from "Southern Fashion"...and grab a 12" while you're at it!

As always, the in-store is FREE and ALL AGES! 7pm.

In the meantime, check out this sweet video for The Sudden Passion's first single, "Don't Know Me At All" off their latest album.

Mossbreaker In-Store @ 7pm!

Yo sucka, we got an in-store for you. It's Mossbreaker...and they're going to kick your butts into this fine weekend tonight at 7pm!

This group of Los Angeles post-hardcore rock dogs just released a new single titled "Separation Anxiety" which is being released as a 7" vinyl. It is a cool blend of post-hardcore and grunge influenced rock, and I'm sure those who appreciate sounds similar to those are going to love the single "Two Way Mirror," which is the b-side of their newest 7." Give it a listen and tell us what you think when we see you tonight at 7!

TONIGHT 4/22: In-Store Record Release w/ Victory @ 7PM

With Coachella finished and the excitement of Record Store Day still lingering in the air from this past weekend, why not stop by OV tonight at 7PM for a free performance from Los Angeles' very own, Victory to cap off the weekend and start the new week right?  Come out tonight and watch Victory rock our loft with some tunes from his debut LP, Victory is Music, coming out April 23rd (yes, that's tomorrow folks!)!!  This debut LP will be available for a limited on clear blue vinyl via Reserva Records (Victory's own label).

"Victory is the music project of Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist Robert Fleming who produces new songs that are at once fresh, familiar and focused...Victory crafts a sound that is both a throw-back to psychedelic 60's British rock as well as an homage to today's thriving independent music scene."

Download Victory's latest single from his debut LP, "Woman," here, and check out this video for "Play It," which will also be on his LP.

TREAT YR'SELF TO SOME RSD LEFTOVERS

There's nothing like waking up the day after Record Store Day, opening up the fridge, digging out those plastic baggies full of leftovers and fixing yrself a nice Cut Copy sandwich...or a Big Star salad...or reheating some of that Nick Drake up in the microwave...yummmmmm!

Check out what's still available below, then come in and fix yrself a treat!

RECORD STORE DAY LEFTOVERS!!!

TONIGHT 4/21: Double feature in-store w/ Cheatahs @ 5pm + E.D. Sedgwick @ 6pm!!

Wow, Record Store Day was amazing yesterday, and we ain't stopping there just yet! We're going full steam ahead with TWO early in-stores tonight by two Sean-approved bands: Cheatahs (5pm) and E.D. Sedgwick (6pm)!

First, Cheatahs are going to rule the loft at 5pm. "What’s in this four-piece’s collective heart is sewn boldly onto its sleeves, influences translated into musical codes and motifs that made the indie charts of the early 90s love-buzz to the sounds of an emerging underground." These dudes are at the end of their US tour, so catch em tonight for free!


Then, so really make sure you get your daily fill of rad music, E.D. Sedgwick takes you for a spin. The November 2012 full-length, We Wear White (Dischord) "is an intellectually charged message built on honest, straight-forward lyrics, well timed obscenities and an array of heavy handed instrumentals." So check it out!

Listen to Cheatahs hit single "The Swan" and watch E.D. Sedgwick's video for "Silver Bullets" and come watch these two bands cure our RSD hangover.

Snow Wite Tonight @ 7pm!

Dude, if you do one thing this week, make sure you come out to our in-store tonight with Snow Wite at 7pm. Promise? Okay!

In all seriousness, I just saw them play at The Smell this past weekend and they absolutely killed it. They're super dreamy, poppy, and psychy, but the awesome thing is that they also did a whole album of Christmas covers. More bands need to be as fun as Snow Wite is.

Open your ears and listen to this gem of a track titled "Dirge Hole" and we hope to see you here at 7!

Nick Waterhouse's Striped Down Performance for Record Store Day at OV

OV is extremly excited to welcome another special guest this Saturday during Record Store Day, Nick Waterhouse!  The Los Angeles local will be joining us at 7pm for a stripped down set open on a first come first serve basis.

Nick released his first solo LP, "Time's All Gone" last year, and has been on a roll ever since.  His sound may cause you to forget what time period you are currently residing in, but you will love it all the same!  Nick's unique appreciation for vinyl makes his performance at OV for RSD fitting as well as momentous.  He has worked with his label, PRES Records, as both an artist and producer in releasing some very cool 45s, like the debut copy of the self-produced Nick Waterhouse & The Turn-Keys "Some Place" 45. "Special sold out 45- Recorded to magnetic tape, engineered by Mike McHugh, and mastered straight to MONO on the Gold Star studios lathe, it further cements what some are calling the "Santa Ana Delta Sound" -- a raw, rhythmic sound unique to Southern California and its Distillery Studio."  

Watch Nick Waterhouse's video for "Some Place" -

Special Acoustic Silversun Pickups Set on Record Store Day

Coachella Smochella, this Saturday is all about Record Store Day at Origami Vinyl!!! Saturday April 20th, Silversun Pickups members Brian and Nikki will be returning to their roots in Echo Park/Silverlake for a special acoustic performance in front of 40 people in our loft.  

There is way more to this performance than meets they eye.  SSPU have been good friends of OV's founder Neil Schield for quite some time now.  They have secretly been planing a memorable RSD performance for a couple of years, and now the time has finally come!  More recently, within the last year, SSPU released their new album, Neck Of The Woods on Dangerbird Records and their bassist Nikki Mooninger received a bouncing bundle of joy in the form of beautiful twin baby girls.  Upon announcing her pregnancy she said, "This is such an exciting and happy time for me - new record, first babies.  I'll law low for a little while, but they won't be able to keep me off the road for too long."  

Well friends, the time has come... Nikki is back for her first performance since having the twins and we are stoked to have both her and Brian here to help us celebrate RSD!! 

Sneak a peak at SSPU's most recent music video, Bloody Mary (Nerve Endings), from their album Neck Of The Woods
