Echo Park Rising Day 3, Sunday August 16th 2015 Review

Alyson Camus / August 17, 2015

so I climbed on the stage, and found a good spot just behind the musicians, observing the incessant crowd surfing, thrilled by the experience and their dark-wave punk sound. It was the perfect ending for this Echo Park Rising, which was attended by 10,000 people according to the news, a really impressive number for a neighborhood festival, free for all, with no big stars or big names, just local bands, but a ton of them celebrating the rich diversity of Echo Park.

Lolipalooza II Part 2, Saturday June 27th 2015 Review

Alyson Camus / June 30, 2015

He was holding his guitar very high and tight, pointing it like a gun toward the amp, he has recently collaborated with Ty Segall and his sound couldn’t have been more punk-psychedelic with a heavy layer coming straight from the 70’s.
Which makes me think, I have probably use the terms psychedelic/psychedelia way too many times in this review, but try to see 24 bands in 10 hours!

Fifteen Essential Los Angeles Indie Bands

Alyson Camus / December 31, 2014

a sumptuous symphonic band with layers of instrumentation and a cinematic approach to music. Their album is a lush orchestral affair, with poignant strings and Kristianne Bautista’s amazing and soulful voice. A must have. Essential tracks: ‘Forever Found’

Alyson Camus / December 28, 2014

Nick Cave: I saw him twice this year, and it was totally spectacular because I even met him in person! First, at the Los Angeles premiere of his fake autobiographical movie, ‘20,000 days on Earth’ at the Egyptian theater on June 10th

Feels, Burnt Ones, Corners And Cosmonauts At The Echo, Sunday December 14th 2014

Alyson Camus / December 17, 2014

I spent another Sunday night at the Echo, and this brought me right back in the middle of last summer, with a ‘Part Time Punks’ soiree featuring Feels, Burnt Ones, Corners and Cosmonauts… another sleep-depraved 24 hours in perspective to start the week, but it was all worth it

Echo Park Rising Day 1, Friday August 15th 2014

Alyson Camus / August 18, 2014

Tthe festival is happening over 20 locations, stretching along Sunset Boulevard and beyond, and it has become a real challenge to run from one place to another, going indoors then outdoors then indoors again, inside the Taix restaurant, inside the Echo, down to the Echoplex, back to the outdoor main stage, I am already exhausted

Corners Residency At The Echo With Debt And Adult Book, Monday July 28th 2014

Alyson Camus / July 31, 2014

The cool thing with these residencies is that the crowd is full of musicians enjoying the set of other bands (I recognized at least one of the Mystic Braves), and my Silver Lake-Echo Park neighborhood looks like a big family of musicians packed inside the Echo, right?

Corners' Residency At The Echo W/ Levitation Room And Mr. Elevator & The Brain Hotel, Monday July 21st 2014

Alyson Camus / July 24, 2014

I spotted a few people who were already at Corners’ first week residency, and even talked to two of them,… this wasn’t a surprise, I was certain people would come back to experience Corners’ awesome sound. This time, I didn’t dropped my camera, but the Echo was as crowded and as rowdy as ever

Corners With The Groms And Death Hymn #9 At The Echo, Monday July 14th 2014

Alyson Camus / July 17, 2014

They have a story coming with them, a story about zombie-like creatures ‘formed out of the murky Louisiana Swamp’, which were a ‘former backing band to Motown’s greats’ but ‘abandoned at a routine gas stop in Baton Rouge in August 1965’.

Corners at The Echo W/ Drinking Flowers, Froth, Dirt Dress, Monday July 7th 2014

Alyson Camus / July 10, 2014

Corners is a band that I had the pleasure to see a few times before, I saw them first during a Monday residency in April, then at Lolipalooza, and I had immediately noticed their invigorating sound, a sound which was so familiar and new at the same time. So, I was not surprised to learn that the quartet had a July residency at the Echo, and I may actually go to a few of them

Lolipalooza At The Echo/Echoplex, Saturday June 28th 2014 (Part I)

Alyson Camus / July 1, 2014

This new Lolipalooza event had 33 bands playing on three stages in just one afternoon-evening, I managed to see 29 of them, and it felt like a marathon! Yes, I am exhausted today, it was a bit crazy and way too much for the same day, but it’s always the case for festivals. There is no way I am gonna remember what the first or even the 15th band sounded like but who really cares?

Corners, Mystic Braves At The Echoplex, Monday April 21st 2014

Alyson Camus / April 24, 2014

The Mystic Braves’ music is not even close to punk, but whatever, people were showing their appreciation while having fun! The quintet effectively plays this awesome 60s-drenched surf-guitar music which sound like a trip to the south of the border revisited by the Doors
