"Kitten is the kind of band that when you're hearing them everywhere in a few months, you'll remember fondly the first time you listened to them. If you haven't already, make that first time sooner rather than later–though the vocals of 16-year-old Chloe Chaidez are enough to keep pretty much anyone in the immediate area transfixed, the entire band seems to be composed of prodigies. And though they're young, they've been paying their dues and learning their craft for years. They've garnered comparisons to The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Blondie and Cat Power, but Kitten is well on their way to being the band all the new kids are trying to sound like." --Cliche Mag
Mystery Skulls is really the nom de plume of Los Angeles based electronic artist Luis Dubuc. Formerly from Dallas, Texas, Dubuc sounds like Prince fronting Daft Punk, mixing his inspirations of '90's R&B and New Jack Swing with EDM music and futuristic sounds. Beyond Mystery Skulls, Dubuc is an active songwriter, producer and remixer, working with a wide range of genres and styles.
A new hard rock ensemble that is at once deft and mighty, Sanglorians are an harmonic exercise in presence; a lucid lyrical dialogue with past and future lives; an hermetic experiment with melodic roots in the dreamtime. Initially manifesting last December here in the City of Angels, Sanglorians is the given name of a new musical family born when songwriter Daniel Brummel made the timely decision to come out of an extended monastic hibernation and bring it all back home. An L.A. indie rock vet whose credentials include a dark solo folk record, a degree in music theory, and the legendary projects Ozma, Spain, Bad Dudes, and Monstro, Mr. Brummel held out on us for more than a decade with this backlog of songs. But it was worth the wait: Sanglorians forthcoming debut album is an unconventional manifesto of love and forgiveness, a deeply personal collection which paints a vivid picture of the individual constellation seeking to tap the collective unconscious, live in synchronicity, and embrace the transpersonal impulse. Sanglorians six-member roster includes bassist Jeremy Keeler (Get Set Go), drummer Matt Mayhall (Miranda Lee Richards, Lenka), Ihui Wu (Robotanists), Morgan Paros (Sandbox), and guitarist Jonathan Gomez.
Led by Joey Stevens, what was once a tight twosome has now expanded into a free flowing quartet, with the addition of Cecilia Della Peruti (guitars/vocals), Ricardo Robles (bass) and Andrew Parker (drums). Fresh off a string of California dates, including a stop at the San Francisco Art Institute and spots at Spaceland and The Echo, and their most recent Rumble Tour hosted by Future Sounds, Rumspringa are rightfully drawing comparisons to many artists but cannot be pinned down to one concrete type of sound. With Stevens' vocals and guitars there are elements of the psychedelic and delta blues, especially on new tracks like “Queer Eyed Boy" "Witch's Milk" and "Sway.
