Dear Friends,
This was a fantastic weekend for the band. On Saturday night our song "Cien Fuegos" was played on KPFK's "Travel Tips for Aztlan" with hosts Mark Torres and Mariluz Gonzalez. Then on Sunday Indie 103 played "Clear Our Name" on Check One Two AND AGAIN later on Chuck P's show Dead Air. It was so exciting to hear our songs over the airwaves!!
Please help us get more plays by requesting our songs!!

Dead Air Sundays 8-10
Travel Tips For Aztlan is broadcast every Saturday from 10pm to midnight on KPFK 90.7fm in Los Angeles and heard all over the world at http://www.kpfk.org/
Our new album "Vuelve Al Mar" will be available on iTunes, Amazon and most digital outlets on Sept 30 thanks to Neil and Origami Records! - www.myspace.com/traveltips
Check out our first review of the new record in this months copy of L.A. Record:
Wait.Think.Fast play quick ("Surface Streets," pushing a little seagull guitar that reminds me of Ride into an nervous "fearless/forward" chorus) or charming ("Clear Our Name" is absolutely radio-ready—takes off like someone's chasing it!) but find their best when they are deep and slow and sad, like "Heavy Water" (with singer Jacqueline most tenderly aflutter in all the heartbreaking places) or the stand-out "Cien Fuegos," a dream-pop song powered by a lonely little flame all its own. Mazzy Star melancholy and mechanics on much of this but you can feel a lot of other favorites that might be here, too: Johnny Marr and Neko Case and maybe Debbie Harry? Listener-scholars who knew how tiny parts have to align with big parts. Pinpoint production by Matthew Beighley and Jacqueline Santillan, picks out undiscovered nooks and knuckles for every listen on songs like "Heavy Water," where about five counterpointing ideas somehow sway into salutary balance, and time takes a cigarette before closer "Pajaros De Papel," an auld-lang-syne finish to an EP that already feels like an album. (Which will be coming real quick after this if the world does its math right.) People love those uncommon songs that get you feeling happy and sad both for the same four minutes; here waits a set you haven't heard yet. —Chris Ziegler

As always, thanks for your support.
Onward and Upward!

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

¡¡¡ MARK YOUR CALENDARS !!!
The acclaimed Luckman Jazz Orchestra, with conductor Charles Owens, honors the tenor saxophone virtuoso, Eddie Harris in this free outdoor concert on the Luckman Street of the Arts. Eddie Harris was a one-of-a-kind, nonconformist multi-instrumentalist whose career was branded by an immense appetite for experimentation. His nonconforming methods of outside improvisations, bizarre electronic effects, and cross-breeding of traditional instruments, set Harris apart in the Jazz world. He epitomized the purest expression of Jazz as musicians of this musical language freely express their ideas and feelings in a way not possible in other styles of music.

Monday Night Residency - DIOS (MALOS) / SONADORA / THE BIBLE CHILDREN / PEACHFUZZ @ Spaceland
Dios (Malos) Listen
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.

Monday Night Residency Acoustic Night - DEATH TO ANDERS / SARAH NEGADARI (from Happy Hollows) / MAD GREGS @ 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
