THE MONOLATORS
Echo Curio


With their unique blend of 50’s rock and 70’s punk and their increasingly talked about live performances; where drumsets are used as jumping platforms, food fights ensue and an occasional head bleeds, The Monolators have come a long way since their beginning in 2002 as the husband and wife duo of Eli (vocals, guitar) and Mary (drums) Chartkoff. With two full lengths under their belt (2003’s Rejection Set Me Free, 2006’s Our Tears Have Wings) and last fall’s You Look Good on the Train EP, the group is now a four piece with the addition of Ashley Jex on bass and Tom Bogdon on guitar. In the last few years, The Monolators have increased their presence in Los Angeles east side music scene and are now pleased to announce the release of their third full length Don’t Dance. - Bio

Tonight The Monolators will unveil a new lineup at Echo Curio with The Karabal Nightlife and The Shivers from New York City. In addition to playing a new cover song, The Monolators will be busting out some classic Mono Tunes. Tickets are $5 and the show is all ages. - Rock Insider dot com






Juana Molina
The Troubadour

On Juana Molina's fifth and most recent album, Un Dia, the Argentine singer/songwriter bolsters her tried-and-true formula, propping up sweet fantasy-folk with the soft ring of acoustic guitar. If Un Dia was a novel, it would be a magical realist masterpiece, full of wrong turns and hidden melodies, and couched in the unparalleled elegance of Buenos Aires. Live, the sultry singer's tunes take another tack, reminding us that Molina's languid drone isn't just sweet, it's also deeply sensual.

WHERE'S MOO
Silverlake Lounge



"Material: Michael Mangums vocal style is reminiscent of early R.E.M., but Wheres Moo ratchet up the rock quotient to Pixie-like levels, and Horvaths backup vocals and guitar fuzz bring a Sonic Youth quality to the songs. Wheres Moo is an outstanding representation of the groups influences, and offer something new to the mix as well.

Musicianship: Horvath is so good that she plays with seemingly little effort. Sublime, but uniquely urban, guitar sounds pore out of her instrument, as much as Mangums vocals leap from his throat. Giragos is completely immersed in the music, as is the robust Soule, who drums with supreme confidence. Mangum plays his guitar with a purpose. The band is tight and have magnetic chemistry.

Summary: Earnest and dedicated, Wheres Moo is passionate about the frenetically melodious art-rock that it graciously distributes to fans. However, as well as Mangum plays the frontman role, his deference to the band is what makes Wheres Moo a special act to experience live." - Music Connection Magazine

Miranda Lee Richards || Listen || Watch

Miranda Lee Richards first came to some attention in 2001 with the release of her debut album, The Herethereafter, which featured a wonderfully sparkling version of the old Rolling Stones tune “Dandelion.” Written just as the Stones were entering their psychedelic period in the mid-’60s, it was a perfect little ephemeral soap bubble of a song, with atypically sunny, hippie-ish lyrics and an airy-fairy musical backing that was countered by Charlie Watts’ thunderous tom-tom fills. Richards’ remake was even more precious, with her sweetly true melodies replacing Mick Jagger’s rough shouting, and it announced the arrival of a unique stylist. Her long-awaited follow-up album, the new Light of X (Nettwerk), produced by Rick Parker, charms with delicate, carefully rendered balladry and gently laid-back pop tunes. There’s a hint of country music and wide-open spaces with Ben Peeler’s pedal-steel adornments on “Savorin’ Your Smile” and “Olive Tree,” and Richards’ radiant voice lights up the dusky guitar riffs of “Early November.” She gives good jangle on the power-pop reverie “Pictures of You,” while Parker frames her solemn piano chords with shimmering guitar plucking on the ballad “Here by the Window,” which builds a haunting momentum with bluesy grandeur. Her lyrics dip a little too often into facile clichés (“biting the hand that feeds us,” “caught in the headlights,” etc.), but Richards’ gorgeous singing usually elevates even the plainest sentiments. - LA Weekly

Echo Park Named One of Top 10 Great Neighborhoods



And when you hear that, you might find yourself asking which Realtor came up with that ranking. Luckily, this time there is some creditability behind the designation: the American Planning Association. They "singled out Echo Park because of its breathtaking topography set in the hills above downtown, historic architecture, pedestrian-oriented streets and stairways, and engaged residents who, over the years, have gone to great lengths to protect and preserve their community," according to an APA release (add: their website has more info and history on why EP was chosen) .... more after you click on the image!
