THE BANDS

Wires On Fire, have only the most modest intentions of any rock band youve ever encountered. Their only want is for you to feel a bit of what theyre feeling, and to hear what theyre playing: The youth energy thats bottled inside them to spill from their guitars, drums, and bodies and hit you with a sonic tidal wave of volume and rhythm. These elements have seen Wires On Fire grace the cover of the LA Weekly, book their own tours across the United States, and support such bands as: Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Fall, and Death >From Above 1979. All this with nothing more than a demo tape, a whole lot of hunger, fire, venom, and a blistering live performance to their name. Wires On Fire are finishing up recording their debut full-length record with Alain Johannes and Natasha Shneider (Eleven/Queens Of The Stone Age/Mark Lanegan). Their song "Daisy" (off their "Homewrecker" EP) is featured in the film and soundtrack for Wes Craven's new flick "The Hills Have Eyes."

Modwheelmood is led by Alessandro Cortini, currently a member of Nine Inch Nails. Cortini is Modwheelmoods primary songwriter, accompanied by guitarist, Pelle Hillstrm (Abandoned Pools) who adds the finishing touches to the arrangements. The two have performed together for nearly six years. Their sound is best described as alternative pop electronica, yet a stimulating departure from the typical laptop based bands who label themselves as electronica.
With their upcoming album, Enemies & Immigrants, Cortini and Hillstrm have carved a complex landscape that is evocative and deeply personal, making Enemies and Immigrants an EP that will surely keep your psychiatrist on speed dial. You can listen to some songs before the record comes out on their myspace page, linked below.

BlackBlack is a young Los Angeles band, full of vigor and fun. Whether it be playing with American Indian headdresses on or covered in (fake) blood, their all-around cute appearances could be distracting, however you cant ignore the bands inventive yet stripped-down nature. We all know by now that looks can be deceiving, and if BlackBlack was a book theyd be so much more than their cover. You could argue that theyre like Deerhoof without the accent, Blonde Redhead minus the angst, or That Dogs first album turned up a couple notches. The band is comprised of Diva Dompe (bass and vocals), her sister Lola Dompe (drums), and Clark Schdelkopf (guitar) aka Alex Greenwald of Phantom Planet fame.

THE DJs

Jesse the Devil Hughes has returned from a religious dance monastery as a master. Matching the Devil in stride for sexy stride is the groove pocket cyborg, Baby Duck (formerly Carlo Von Sexron, aka Joshua Homme from Queens of the Stone Age fame). The dream boys have reached a verdict and delivered a sentence to all who try and judge this thing called rock 'n' roll. And that sentence is Death By Sexy! Rekords Rekords has teamed up with brand spankin' new Downtown Records, making this their debut release. So put your dancing shoes on and get ready for Downtown to plant their magic beans and climb the stalk of rock all the way to the top, by riding high on the wings of Eagles Of Death Metal's Death By Sexy.

The Like formed in 2001 in Los Angeles, when best friends Charlotte Froom (a bassist of two weeks at the time) and Tennessee Jane Bunny Thomas (a drummer in her all-girls-school band) met Z Berg and found the voice and songs they had been looking for. Almost immediately, the ladies began to garner local praise and attention, surprising their audiences with a complexity belying their very young years (two 15-year-olds and a 16-year-old at the time).
The Like transcend all the easy labels that one may be inclined to attach to them: all-girl band, teenage band, L.A. band, etc. They simply write beautiful music, and possess an irresistible collective personality.

Big Blackhawk is one of the premier LA-area promoters specializing in the burgeoning Hard Rock/Heavy Metal music genres. Though his best work can be seen most often in Los Angeles, his work has taken them all over the country promoting events and parties for cool music festivals such as SXSW, CMJ and Coachella. Big Blackhawk plans to bring the rawk to many cities this summer including Chicago for the Pitchfork Music festival, Nashville for Bonnaroo and Seattle for the Suicide Squeeze 10 Year Anniversary festival. Big Blackhawk seriously needs to come out with a mix tape, because summer is coming and we need some jams!
