SHOW REVIEW: Flying Lotus @ The Music Box 6/23/11
Line-Up:
Flying Lotus
Dr Strangeloop
Teebs
Samiyam
Thunder cat
Gaslamp Killer
This exciting Thursday night of musical wonder took place in the Music Box: a really great venue with a pretty classy-retro feel in the heart of Hollywood. It was pretty packed and full of devoted, lively young fans. There was a lot of singing along and such, but not in the annoying overdone drunk way. Although Flying Lotus was the highlight for many of the people who went, the opening acts were unexpectedly quite impressive. All were under the Brainfeeder label and although could all be considered part of the same electronic genre of music, each had their own distinct style. Thus it was a quite balanced line-up ranging from the chill trance-like melodies of Teebs to the grimy hip hop beats of Samiyam to the energized hard style of Gaslamp Killer.

Davila 666’s second full-length on In the Red records, Tan Bajo, hits #1 this week! After an extremely well-received debut album, these Puerto Rican snotty garage punks are with even more great lo-fi, fuzzed out tunes. The album plays like a best of the 60s teaser, borrowing elements from psychedelic rock to girl group pop and everything in between. KSPC loves it, maybe you will too!
