LA FEMME IS IN LA!

Last Friday, La Femme were playing at Bardot. The French band of not even twentysomething hailing from Biarritz (French surf capital) is on a west coast tour for a few weeks.

Despite the general mood of post thanksgiving coma in town, Bardot's patio was buzzing and those who ventured out for the FTW night were not disappointed by their performance.

Halfway between New Order and surf guitars, a burst of raw energy, La Femme managed to draw the audience's attention and it wasn't long before they won them over. A cool cocktail of youth, nonchalance and catchy songs, they made it worth getting off the couch.

Tonight they're playing at Nomerica, a cool party based on foreign bands and we're going!

Nomerica is at El Cid: 4212 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90029 (10pm - 2am).

New Family Band "Cold Songs" Digital EP

One of our favorite new bands has just released a new digital EP titled Cold Songs. There are also some amazing videos that accompany each track, check it all out at the link below. Also if you are on the east coast please try and catch them on their mini tour supporting local LA favorites Warpaint. Oh, and if you still have not checked out the Miller Path LP do it now!

High Bias Mixtape Series Vol. 4: "Winter Cruising"

Mix by David Abplanalp-Estimé

"Fall and Winter. Halfway between LA and Paris, from 1966 to 2010 - this is just a collection of great songs that I really enjoy. Good for driving up the PCH on a sunny LA winter morning or lounging in front of a fireplace in the snow-laden season in Paris...
