LAESIRC Editorial: "East Side" Indie Bands -- Are They ALL Awesome???

While enjoying a $3 Dewars at the final night of the Le Swish residency at the Ecco on Monday, I looked around the room and saw so many members of my favorite local INDIE bands: The Harry Clam People, Flying Turdillion Archestra, Addie Liar and the Philly Cheese Steaks, Full Chin, Subtraction Day, as well as the weird guy who used to run the record store down the street. I had to pause and ask myself this question: East Side L.A. INDIE bands -- are they ALL awesome??? It's a good question!

I thought about it a lot on the drive home while bumping the advance copy of the new Sweat Hurt album that Windy gave us so we can review it (release show at Pearshape on 6/7!!!). So many bands -- can they all be the best??? Are they all AWESOME???

Yes.

That's all for now -- more reviews coming soon. Keep it INDIE, you guys!

We're not really sure about whats going on, but it doesn't look like Queen Kwong has a show this night.

Local INDIE Bands Discuss New Local Indie Blog!

Our sources tell us that members of local INDIE bands were spotted hanging out at esteemed EAST SIDE establishment, Mr. T-Bowl, and talking about none other than THIS BLOG!!! Key members of both Flying Turdillion Orcasthra and Dead Man Anders were apparently taking in the gritty EAST SIDE ambiance and enjoying beers when the topic of conversation turned to the LA EAST SIDE INDIE ROCK CONNECTION! Looks like the HEAT IS ON!!!!!

Some people are just born to keep it indie!

Indie Gossip Connection

Rumor has it that a certain boy lead singer of a certain EAST
SIDE indie band is playing for the “other team,” if you know what we mean! That’s right: GAY!!! Can YOU guess who it is?

More reviews coming soon...

Castlegate & Full Chin at Eagle Rock Drinking and Bowling PROM PROMISE

It was a sweaty night at All Star Bole in Eagle Rock (EAST SIDE!) this past Sunday Evening. However, that didn’t stop the crowds from flooding the floor and bouncing to the trip hop sounds of Full Chin and soulful syncopations of Castlegate.

LAESIRC spotted several local indie bands at the show including The Monolated, Amniotic, Early-Mart, Seasonings, Flying Tourbillion Symphony, Divisionderando, Fabulous Toy, and a few local bloggers too. The local indie bands in attendance seemed to be enjoying themselves, drinking Budweiser or some other cheap domestic beer.

Stay connected to your local Indie Rock information right here, where the action is.

More reviews coming soon…

Local Blogger Spotted!

LAESIRC recently attended the Liam Fenn, Laura Veneirs, and Let's Get Sailing gig at The Echo on May 7th. Spectacular!

While trying to find parking (no fun!), our LAESIRC correspondent spotted none other than local blogging luminary, MOUSE!!! His blog, Classic Geek Orchestra was an inspiration for our blogs!

Sources say Mouse loves the classic '80s video game Gaxagan, and he will challenge you to video game battles!

Keep it indie, you guys!
