THE ACT: Allah-Las

Members: Miles, Pedrum, Spencer Dunham (bass) and Matt Correia (drums)

SOUNDS LIKE:

THOUGHTS: There’s a reason why this Los Angeles-based garage rock band has been making waves as of late. Their neo-psychedlic sound is effortless and their laid-back stage-presence adds to their vibe. It was my first time catching their act live, and I’m looking forward to catching them again this summer when they open for Ok Go at the Santa Monica Pier September 4th.

Matt Kivel | Echo Park Rising | 8/15/14

THE ACT: Matt Kivel

SOUNDS LIKE:

THOUGHTS: A singer-songwriter whose mellow sounds could serve one well in the bedroom. He performed in the Echo Park Methodist Church. The venue is not performance friendly. It was a warm day, and the church as muggy as all hell. I got to his set a little late, and there were already photographers there. I was about to start taking some photos, when one of the photographers said that he was “good to go” and that it was “okay to turn the lights back down.” Bummer for me, cause I couldn’t really take any decent shots once they dimmed the house light. Oh well … you snooze, you lose, I guess.

Woods | Echo Park Rising | 8/15/14

THE ACT: Woods.

Members: Jeremy Earl, Jarvis Taveniere, Aaron Neveu, John Andrews

SOUNDS LIKE:

THOUGHTS: Solid, Psychadelic-folk rock. The whole time I watched them perform, I kept thinking to myself that I had heard of them before. When I got home, and searched the web, I was reminded that they released a highly acclaimed album back in 2009 titled “Songs of Shame.” Apparently, I had lost track of them. Thank god for social media, cause now I follow them on Facebook.
