BEACH PARTY: Stream "Fun"

Beach Party make soulful, gritty 60‘s garage rock that is so appealing to the pop sensibilities that it would make Joe Meek proud. In between the abrasive gang vocal shouts of “C’mon, C’mon, let’s have some fun!” are the catchy guitar riffs that keep you coming back for more. It’s their ability to embrace the energy and excitement of old school surf/garage rock, while still managing to keep their sound fresh and firmly grounded in the present that proves this band is one to watch. If you’re jonesing for some modern references, they are at times touching on The Killers territory, and at others The Strokes. But make no mistake, these guys are carving out their our piece of the lo-fi landscape. Beach Party have been forecasted by the tastemakers at Origami Vinyl and The Echo as one of the breakout bands of 2013. They will be joining a handful of excellent, local bands on January 4th to showcase the best of the best. If you can’t wait til the new year, see them live this Friday, December 14 at The Satellite in support of seminal crowd-pleasers, Vanaprasta. - Jacqueline Caruso

FIDLAR

They say that punk bands are in their prime when they're still young, crass, and defiantly apathetic. So it makes sense that  FIDLAR isn't really preoccupied at the moment with tax deductions or even college for that matter - their vicious garage anthems are all about existing in the now, being politically incorrect with a purpose and, you know, having some unabashed fun on a Friday night.

ALLAH-LAS

Smoky garage rock is usually associated with San Francisco, greatly due to the communal kinship and prolific work ethic of bands such as the Fresh & Onlys, Sick Alps, and Thee Oh Sees. But go a little further south and you’ll discover the skuzzy, sun dappled sounds of Allah Las. Sculpted and retro-fitted from the perennial Nuggets compilation, the quartet does occasionally touch base with their sixties forbearers, but their delectable fuzzy nuggets invoke a cool, phlegmatic vibe that’s very much attuned with their home city.

VANAPRASTA

Vanaprasta knows exactly how to channel Los Angeles' buzz into their music, which is as surprising as a walk in the city itself. Combining psychedelia and rock n’ roll, all five of the band members craft pieces of an intricate puzzle for the listener to put together.
