The Utah-bred now L.A.-based guitar combo Sego complete their January residency at the Bootleg HiFi in Los Angeles on January 19th. The Kitsune band play a riff-driven melange of jittery kinetic instrumentation and A+ indie pop songwriting. Details for the Monday January 19th show can had here. Be square or be there.

Red Bull Sound Select Presents hosted another of their monthly music showcases recently at the Del Monte Speakeasy in Venice, California. For those unfamiliar with Red Bull Sound Select, each year they organize monthly events across the country to promote emerging new artists. Last night, LA music enthusiasts made their way down the steps of the Del Monte venue to a crowded basement of fans waiting to rock out to Hanni El Khatib and to be (re)introduced to Hin Du.
Hin Du, formerly known as Hindu Pirates (for their fans who are unaware of the name change) quickly received love from the crowd who praised guitarist Giussepe LoBasso by chanting, “Gucci, Gucci, Gucci!” Hin Du reciprocated the love by interacting back with the crowd. I was able to catch up with the band after the show and was told their new album is almost complete. Hin Du is definitely a must checkout band.
The night was not completed until Hanni El Khatib blessed the stage. Fans braced themselves for loud amps of core a mosh pit as Hanni EL Khatib rocked the basement of Del Monte. El Khatib was no stranger to this venue as he stated in his performance “it’s been like, five years since I played here.” Fans were treated with a couple of new tracks that hopefully means the follow up to their 2013 record, Head in the Dirt is in the works. For his new track “Moonlight” Hanni El Khatib stepped down from the stage and began jamming with the crowd.
Red Bull Sound Select will continue to put on shows during the month of November as well, so be in the look out for more incredible events to come.

Mr. Jaymes Young packed the Bootleg Theater in Los Angeles last Wednesday night with support from Olivver and Gabriel Garzon-Montano. Jaymes’ live show delivers on a passion that he carries for his fans, that I’ve only seen at that level rarely before with other artists. He connects with fans on a much deeper level with his music (both live and recorded) and also on his blog. If you’re in LA, he will be opening up for Vance Joy late in November. Have a look at some photos from his set as well as the stellar opening slot from LA’s rising indie star Olivver.

The much lauded Seattle duo found their way to the iconic Fonda Theater in Hollywood this past Saturday. The sold out gig delighted fans with thundering drums and a brilliant light show. Personally, I was having a terrible night till Odesza took the stage and things soon took a complete 180 degree turn. I felt alive, and full of positivity just by hearing their music. Their live sound is certainly not one to miss.

It’s been a short minute since Meg Myers played a show in Los Angeles, and so this intimate homecoming gig at The Echo was a must see. I can safely say that with every show Meg plays, the bar is raised – something of which more artists need to take note. Meg Myers proved to the soldout Echo that night that she’s here to stay. Myers had the entire venue singing along to “Desire”. For the few lucky fans that were able to grab a ticket, she also played new tracks that have not yet been heard live. Meg will be opening for Royal Blood at The Troubadour at the end of the month. If you’re fortunate to have tickets, you don’t want to be late for Meg.
