DEATH TO ANDERS / ROBERT FRANCIS / THE HENRY CLAY PEOPLE - ACOUSTIC SET / MANHATTAN MURDER MYSTERY @ ECHO



Death to Anders [Listen]

While it’s up to the listener to decide whether or not Death to Anders’ new album, Fictitious Business, is a concept album — Danson says “maybe” — there’s no question that it’s an ambitious accomplishment both in songwriting and production that demands to be listened to in its entirety. A self-described “surreal and cryptic look at life in the 21st century,” the album takes listeners on an intense journey full of abrupt turns through beautiful and paranoid terrain marked by lush walls of sound, rollicking melodies, noisy swells and questioning lyrics. There’s a lot of variety within and between each of the 10 songs, but an ongoing narrative with repeating themes sews it all together. - Performer Mag

Spaceland Monday Night Residency - DIOS (MALOS)



Dios (Malos) [Listen] [Watch]

Dios Malos have a sound as big and beautiful as you’re willing to let it be. Consider any one of their songs on its own, and you have a relatively simple concoction. Retro surf and sunshine pop are the basic templates — Dios (Malos) is a world where even heartbreak is rendered in primary colors and ornamented in glittering bells and cheerful whistles. A psychedelic haze floats over much of their work, but it’s a cheerful psychedelic haze.
For most artists, tackling such a variety of styles in one album would be overwhelming at best; at worst, it would invite the sort of stylistic excess that leads to anonymity. Through smart songcraft, a powerful command of pop vocabulary, and skillful track sequencing, Dios Malos deliver an album that expands and grows more complicated with every listen. “Epk” will help you to better appreciate “My Broken Bones”, which will in turn enhance “I Want it All”. As you learn to understand and decode the band’s songwriting decisions, your appreciation will grow that much deeper — and what seemed like simple, straightforward music will become increasingly engrossing.- Splendid Magazine

Vote for Light FM to play Detour Festival!



Hey all,

So the LA Weekly/Detour Festival has chosen LIGHT FM to participate in their BYOB(Bring Your Own Band) contest! It's really really awesome that they chose us, but now the hard part is getting everyone I know to vote for us.The voting goes like this:

You can vote once a day from the same computer/ISP. So for example, if you had two email accounts, you would have to go to two different locations in order for both votes to count.

But honestly, I'd be happy if you just voted once a day until the contest ends in a few weeks.

The actual Detour Festival is on OCT 4 in Downtown LA. Lots of great bands will be playing(the Mars Volta, Datarock, Gogol Bordello), and we would be beyond ecstatic to share the stage with them.

It's gonna take a lot of votes in order for us to win, and I'm sure somebody in one of the bands works at some office with a hundred different ISP's, so there's a big chance this whole thing could be a pointless exercise and very much like a high school popularity contest, but you have no idea how much we would love to play the Detour Festival.

Sooo, go vote! And then put a little post-it note on your computer and vote again every morning.

I would do it for you. I swear.

Love - Kim
