We put together another list of up and comers in the indie music scene that are definitely worth a listen. Each of the bands listed below also have an upcoming Los Angeles show date for you to check out if you’re really digging it. Stream and be happy.
Kindest Lines hail from New Orleans and come correct with a electro/shoegaze sound. Check out their single “Baltimore” off of their debut LP “Covered In Dust”. Kindest Lines will be performing at The Echo on Sunday, October 2nd for Part Time Punks along with Violet Tremors and Jewels of The Nile.
One of my current favorite bands to come out of L.A. is Fidlar. They have been holding down a lot of opening spots for big name bands and the time is right that Fidlar get the headline slot. Catch them at The Smell on Sunday, October 16th and then at the Troubadour on Friday, October 28th.
If you’re into the local music scene Swahili Blonde may already be a familiar name, but if not then you might want to get to know it. This is a band that brings a long list of instruments to their complex sound. Listening to their latest release “Psycho Tropical Ballet Pink”, you will hear the sitar, saxophone, violin and the forgotten omniphone. Check out “Purple Ink” below and catch Swahili Blonde during their month long Monday night residency at The Echo.
One of the bands that we were so sad to miss after the Sunset Junction cancellation was Dum Dum Girls. I absolutely loved their “He Gets Me High” EP and eagerly awaiting for their second full length album “Only In Dreams” to be released this month. They are scheduled to play at the Troubadour on Monday, October 3rd and tickets are still available to purchase for that show for $15.00 plus additional fees.
But if you prefer a free show, we suggest you make your way over to Amoeba Music in Hollywood on Tuesday, September 27th at 7pm for a performance by Dum Dum Girls. This is a first come first served show and early arrival is suggested if you want to get a good spot.
