Originally known as The Weather Underground, the group formed mid-2004 with singer/guitarist Harley Prechtel-Cortez, bassist Ryan Kirkpatrick, drummer Diego Guerrero and guitarist Sho Bagley. Sho left around the middle of last year, and was replaced by Edmonton native Calvin J. Love. Adding a Canadian to the mix made the band even more diverse, as they already have Guatemalan, Mexican, and Irish ancestry, which comes out at times in beautiful ways, in their sound and subject matter. The new band member, new songs, and inevitable linking to the ’60’s/’70’s leftist group (often as important to journalists as their songs) inspired them to change their name to Red Cortez. Their first show was Nov. 11, for the debut of Indie 103.1’s “Check One Tuesdays” night at the Echoplex, opening for Earlimart and Afternoons (good heavens, what a lineup).
Their music has a social relevance and an energetic urgency, with influences ranging from blues and Latin-tinged folk to 60’s garage and punk. Lyrically it’s like beat poetry, as they sing of displaced Guatemalan field workers (”Fight Song For The Desalojos”), Beat Generation Neal Cassady, day-to-day struggles and inner turmoil, introspection and solitude. They’ve been described as “rootsy gospel”, and their live shows are compared to evangelical church services. Web In Front said of their recent Taco Zone benefit at Spaceland: “the band has developed a searing tightness and live authority which, coupled with their already galvanizing intensity and collection of searching, powerful songs of introspection and revolt, has pushed them to the very forefront of la la land live acts”.
Fell on the Floor – manic and urgent, biting lyrics, with the refrain that gets stuck in your head, “try to pretend you know everything don’t you, you know everything don’t you, everything don’t you”.
Trainwreck – fantastic, quirky vocalization; seriously infectious; something you want to jump up and move around to.
Letters – a song of defiance. A woman continues to receives letters from her soldier husband, even though he has died, and chooses to believe he is still alive. The stubbornness of the human spirit. Powerful.
Bird in the Hand – beautiful, introspective, heartfelt; about moving beyond life’s hardships.
All Ye People – a modern day hymn . “Come all you strangers, your life’s in danger, you’re living too close to discourse. He trembles his hand, loosens his tie, the only thing you’re killing is time… Your walls are coming down, but there’s no one around to witness it.”

Well, that’s how it is with us bipolar types. One minute, all is dark and unfathomable, and the next minute, your favorite band is announcing a show in less than 2 months’ time, about an hour’s drive from you. It’s at these moments when one realizes that life is inherently a good and happy place.

My first introduction to Sharon Robinson’s music was at Leonard Cohen’s amazing performance at the Wang Theatre a few weeks ago. He had brought with him a stellar collection of musicians, each one fascinating in their own right. Sharon, I learned, is not just a gifted vocalist, but has collaborated with Mr. Cohen for many years, and has written quite a few songs with him, including one of my all-time favorites, “Everybody Knows”. She, along with the Webb Sisters, contributed lovely backup vocals, and she did an amazing solo performance of “Boogie Street”, to enthusiastic cheers from the audience.
Her vocals on her debut album are quiet and subdued, like a simmering tea kettle. One has the sense that at any moment, she could let loose in a major hellfire way. One disappointment, I’d say, is that she doesn’t. Her voice is beautiful, but she plays it conservatively, as does the band, which I realize is probably the style of what is known as smooth jazz, and which I’m sure will appeal to lovers of that genre. In all honestly, it’s not the type of music I listen to very often, and I don’t have a real feeling for it. Which doesn’t make me the person best suited to write about this recording, so I’ll just speak to the individual talents contained within. Sharon’s luscious voice is front and center, as it should be, flowing like warm honey. Accompanying her, all highly skilled musicians, from Christopher Bruce on guitar to Jay Bellerose on drums and percussion; Patrick Warren, synthesizers and Joey Waronker, percussion; and Nate Wood, additional drums, guitar and keyboards. James Harrah, Mike Turk, Bob Glaub and Michael Gold add guitar, harmonica, bass, and vocals on individual tracks. From all corners I could imagine enticing riffs bubbling up from the rich musical pool, but as is par for the course with this style of music, I suppose, it just doesn’t happen to the degree that I keep hoping it might. Production is impeccable and the sound is very smooth and polished; perhaps too much so. Personal preference, but when I hear raw talent like Sharon Robinson’s, I like it to stay raw, with as little production as possible.
Sharon’s solo songwriting ability stands out on the tracks “Party for the Lonely” and “The High Road” (the latter of which was performed by Bettye LaVette on her album “I’ve Got My Own Hell to Raise”). The three songs co-written with Leonard Cohen are, of course, brilliant. “Everybody Knows” is quite simply one of the most amazing songs ever written. “Alexandra Leaving”… lyrically haunting, and I’d love to hear this with the barest of accompaniment; solo piano or guitar, preferably. On “Summertime”, there’s a wistful melancholy, a quietly simmering passion which she inhabits. The best version I’ve heard is one performed with the wonderfully talented Javiar Mas on guitar on TV Finland’s morning program back in October 2008.
My hope for her next album is one that is stripped down with a more minimalist production. Possibly combining solo accompaniment from Javiar Mas with some larger bluesy R&B arrangements that she can sensuously weave around and occasionally let loose on. That would be a glorious thing indeed.

The last time I saw the wonderful Silverlake band The Local Natives (also at T.T.’s, with The Union Line & Voxhaul Broadcast) was back in January, and I was amazed at how good they were. It was a Sunday night, the weather was cold, slushy and miserable, and there were maybe 20 people in the audience, most of them the other band members and their friends. Even so, and considering they had come from L.A. cross-country to play for us, they put on an enthusiastic, fantastic show, and this really impressed me.
Local Natives @ T.T.'s
Fortunately, this night was quite different. No more snow, thank god, and on tour with Portland-based Blind Pilot, who seem to have quite a loyal (and large) following. I wasn’t previously familiar with their music at all, but I’m sure glad I am now!
The Local Natives were even more marvelous than I remembered, no doubt feeding off of the already large audience who really seemed to enjoy them. Even in their recorded music, but especially live, there’s an enthusiasm and joy of playing that comes through and is quite infectious. You can tell they’re having such a good time, and they have such a tight sound (with incredibly nice harmonies). I realize now what an amazing song “Airplanes” is, and some in the audience were clearly already familiar with it (no doubt from MySpace). They performed songs from a fantastic 5-track EP they just put out (featuring tracks recorded at Rede Rockets Glare Studios and two from their Daytrotter session), plus “Stranger Things” and three I didn’t know, which I annoyingly indicate as “??” in the setlist.
“Cards & Quarters” has a really cool, rhythmically-changing beat and very pretty guitar. Beautiful vocals throughout from Taylor Rice and Ryan Hahn, who were also on guitars. They performed a wonderful Talking Heads cover, “Warning Sign”, and really make it their own. That song seriously rocked. When I first saw them I thought they reminded me of a looser and friendlier Talking Heads; maybe it was just a similar sort of vibe, or the truly jamming percussion. But I was probably too insecure to mention that at the time. Now that I see they do such a marvelous job with one of their songs, I’ll go ahead and say it. I also see in my scribbled notes, “beautiful violin (viola?), with keyboardist on vocals and guitar”. So I’ll mention that Amanda Salazar on violin (hoping that’s her name, as I’m looking at the EP) and Kelcey Ayer were great on this song, but yes, it’s one of the tracks I didn’t know. Andy Hamm on bass and Matt Frazier on drums were superb as well. They ended their set with “Sun Hands” which, done live, is a building, hypnotic, tribal ritual.
Blind Pilot
Blind Pilot up next, and looking back, I’d have to say what an inspired pairing, even though they’re quite different musically. Same infectious joy, however. How to describe Blind Pilot? Mountain Appalachian hillbilly hoedown, casual and fun but musically rich and inviting… danceable, joyous, at time wistful and melancholy, but with great warmth. Lovely vocals from Israel Nebeker, and a fascinating line up of guitar, ukelele/banjo/mountain dulcimer, harmonium/keyboards/trumpet, drums & percussion, stand-up bass, and vibraphone! Sounds crazy, and it is, but it’s also quite beautiful. People were simply knocked out by these guys. The rest of the audience were obviously more familiar with the music than I was, but they seemed delighted to be seeing them in person. It can’t be easy for a small indie band to make the trek from Portland to the East Coast, so I think everyone is especially appreciative here. And to play a show at T.T.’s… well, it’s an awesome little venue and we love it, but ya know, it ain’t the Orpheum.
Listening to their wonderful CD now (”3 Rounds and a Sound”), they’re lyrically lovely as well. Which I could tell during the show, but of course you can’t always make out the words, and you’re naturally focused on the amazing instrumentation, as it’s live and right there in front of you. Sitting quietly at home, the vocals come to the fore and can be pondered over and admired.
“The screen went blue before I touched you and my ride went home. All the photos came out lonely but we were not alone, talking of everything we could not hold… We were stronger than the preachers. We were wiser than the law.” (”Things I cannot recall”)
Greatly enjoyed these guys (and gal) live (and a really nice version of “A Whiter Shade of Pale” during the encore). The CD (which can be purchased directly on the MySpace) lists Blind Pilot as: Israel Nebeker – vocals, guitar, bass; Ryan Dobrowski – drums, percussion; Kati Claborn – vocals, mountain dulcimer, banjo; Shawn McLain – violin; Ian Krist – vibraphone; Dave Jorgensen – trumpet, Rhodes; and Skyler Norwood – vibraphone, bass, orchestration.
Thanks so much, Local Natives and Blind Pilot, for an awesome evening of music… Come back soon!

On Expanding Awareness tomorrow morning, Victor will be interviewing practitioners at an Open House at the Theosophical Society in Arlington, Massachusetts.
Victor Robert Venckus presents his Lucid Sounds/Expanding Awareness program on WZBC 90.3 FM (Boston College Radio) every Saturday from 7am – 11am. He begins with New Age, ambient, Native American and world music, with a weekly astrology report from Dietrich Pessin at 9:30 am. Expanding Awareness is at 10am, featuring interviews on paranormal, holistic health, environmental, animal rights and occasionally human rights topics, with listener call-in participation. The broadcast is now archived for two weeks. Victor has been on the air, in some guise or another, since 1975.
The Airborne Toxic Event have just announced a massive world tour. Or rather, they’ve just extended their massive world tour, which has been going on now since… early 2008? However, it seems a few U.S. cities have yet to be added, including (I’m assuming and sincerely hoping) Boston.
If they’re having trouble finding a suitable venue here, may I suggest The Middle East Downstairs (575 c.), Somerville Theatre (900 c.), The Regent Theatre in Arlington (500 c.), or – if all that fails – there’s always the Labor Day block party in Nahant. If they could toss in an Eagles or Bruce Springsteen cover, I’m sure my neighbors wouldn’t mind. Or Fourth of July with the Boston Pops! I see there’s a break in their schedule at that time… In fact, Anna and Noah could sit in for the “1812 Overture” – always a favorite, what with the cannons and all.
It was one of those odd moments of serendipity. This morning, I was thinking it was high time to begin writing what I’ve been thinking about for nearly a month now – my first “label profile” of a small but wonderful and prolific enterprise out in L.A. called JAXART Records. Since they’ve put out releases by a few of my favorite bands from that astonishing “Silverlake scene” (Rademacher, The Henry Clay People, Mezzanine Owls…), I decided to put on a bit of music to get me in the mood. I plucked out another one of my favorites, “Our Tears Have Wings” by the Monolators. Then I proceed to dig around for some background information. I come across an interesting and informative interview from LAist with JAXART founder Ashley Jex . Reading along, I discover she’s in the Monolators, first joining them on the brilliant “Don’t Dance” album, which has been sitting for a while on my turntable. And that she publishes a blog that I include in my blogroll and regularly frequent, Rock Insider. It was one of those “ohhhhhhhh” moments (stop that chuckling out there; I’m on a computer day and night, so I have short-term memory issues. Sometimes it just takes me a while, ya know?). She’s deeply immersed in L.A.’s local music scene, having done a stint as a KROQ intern, worked at a few indie labels, and even DJ’s and books shows. She started Rock Insider in 2005, and JAXART Records in 2007.
At a time when the lumbering and bumbling major labels are trying to figure out their place in the New World of viral marketing and illegal downloading, JAXART and other enterprising indies are nimbly maneuvering their way around and finding innovative ways to get the music out and well, if not make a financial killing, at least not lose too much money in the process. This includes, in addition to selling digital releases, the delightful re-emergence of collectible vinyl. In JAXART’s case, this means nicely packaged limited runs of 7-inch EPs, sold online and at bands’ shows.
A vital part of the incredibly vibrant artistic community of the Silverlake/Los Feliz/Echo Park area, JAXART’s latest releases are the digitally re-released “Lefty” from the musically lush and lyrically melancholy Divisadero, and the noisy rocking goodness of The Valley Arena’s “We Died” (full-length digital release and vinyl EP). There’s such an enticing selection of bands out there right now, It’ll be interesting to see what they put out next.
From Long Beach and performing together since 2003, The Valley Arena are Chris Stevens, Michael Nielsen, and Warren Woodward. A heavy sort of sound at times, then more flowing, with a punkish vibe and some glimmering guitar work from Chris Stevens. Early influences include Fugazi, Q and Not U, and San Diego bands Hot Snakes and No Knife. Listening to a selection of their songs on MySpace, “Kick At The Ceiling” is a standout track for me, and the Free The Robots remix of this song on the just released “We Died” is lovely. From the new offering, other personal favorites upon first listen are “1000 lbs Of Light” and “DFWF” (with very nice interplay of guitar and vocals). Their third album, “We Died”, was released on JAXART a few weeks ago as a digital download and a 7″ vinyl EP with a remix of “SOS4XOX” by Ikey Owens of The Mars Volta and Free Moral Agents.
A favorite of mine for a little while now, as I’ve been enjoying their “Slingshot Echoes” CD. Influences include the Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine, Pavement, Yo La Tengo, R.E.M. and The Cure. Melodic and dreamlike; at the same time soaring, driving. It’s been quite a while since they posted anything to their MySpace page, so I have no idea what’s going on with them, and if we can look forward to any shows soon. With my usual moaning about how I hate living so far away from all these great bands, they are definitely on my list of “would love to see” shows.
Awesome band. Another favorite. Garagy classic rock with an indie sensibility and sublime quirkiness. Was delighted when they supported The Airborne Toxic Event on their last tour and I was able to see them. They slayed the Boston crowd, and that can be a tough audience. Same goes for NYC. Things are really happening for them now, and rightly so. They played Sasquatch, and will be performing at Lollapalooza and the Austin City Limits festival. Brothers Joey and Andy Siera, with Mike Hopkins and Jonathan Price put on wicked cool, really fun live shows.
Ah, Rademacher… I love them so much, they were my first band profile on musings. Quirky, literate, wistful, deeply touching… they’re technically from Fresno, but are definitely part of the “Silverlake scene”. They’ve released the marvelous “Stunts” album, and a truly wonderful compilation of their early EPs, called “RIP Gardenside”. There’s also a great live recording of one of their shows at The Echo. All very highly recommended – and available via their MySpace. They play frequently around L.A. and Fresno (including solo outings from Malcolm Sosa) and also supported Airborne Tox, but sadly, very sadly, not here on the East Coast. I hold out hope that they will one day (soon) play here.
Poppy and upbeat, The Voyeurs (Jonathan Hylander (lead vocals), Sean Johnson (drums), Daniel Woods (guitar), and Elisha Jacob (bass) released their debut album “Well Known Drag” back in January of this year. Jonathan and Sean were previously in the band E>K>U>K and are also (currently) in the band Vaudeville, the latter of which I had the great pleasure of catching live at Spaceland last December while I was visiting. Good times. Their very enjoyable new release features playful honky-tonk piano and lovely vocal harmonies. Favorites for me are “You’re A Wreck” and “Things People Say”. And check out their MySpace for a really nice cover of “Sunny Afternoon”.
Their tagline on MySpace reads “making people get up off the couch since 2004″, and I can hear why. Another band I wasn’t previously familiar with, but again, I like them a lot. “Boxer’s Arm” (from their recently released JAXART single) is wonderful. “I’m weary as a boxer’s arm… but I’ve got one last punch in me.” “Last Resort” is a dancey pop tune about heartbreak, and listening to their music reminds me how much I enjoy this juxtaposition, of happy upbeat songs with underlying… well, I won’t say despair. Let’s just call it nostalgic melancholy, but with stubborn hope. “Worth the Regret” (from their second album), is especially lovely. Their previous releases are “Throw Me The Keys” (2004), “Lose The Swagger” (2005), and “Tonight’s Last Stand” (2006).
A band I’m somewhat familiar with from other bands they’ve performed with at places like Spaceland and The Echo. At the risk of sounding redundant… a great band. Pretty, airy vocal harmonies and a folksy, slightly country, psychedelic sound. We just don’t seem to have this sort of music here in Boston. With comparisons to the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers, I guess it’s an “L.A. thing”. Their releases include “King Giraffe” (their debut in 2007), “Field Mouse Carnival”, two live recordings (Spaceland and The Echo), “Owl and Timber”, and their most recent EP, “Orangufang” (on JAXART).
I wasn’t previously familiar with Divisadero, but they’re absolutely wonderful. “The Boxer’s Daughter” is a luscious mix of bluesy harmonica, guitar strummings with folksy-sad vocals, building to all-out space jamming. Dreamy, desolate, rocking, prog/psychedelic as it moves out into the stratosphere… nice! Currently streaming on LaLa.com (and on their MySpace), this “new” release is a revelation to me, and I strongly suspect it will bring Divisadero to the attention of a wider audience. “Lefty” is described as “a concept album about a boxer and his greatest opponent: his family.” Wistful and melancholy vocals are complimented perfectly by a sweet and heady mix of rolling percussion and bass, violin and cello (and at times harmonica, slide guitar, musical saw, glockenspiel…), starting out quietly and reverently, then opening up into a delicious swirling mass of sound. “The Fight” is haunting and unsettling, both lyrically and musically. When the line “Daisy, daisy” floats in unexpectedly, the effect is chilling. A lovely, heart-tugging dirge. I can only imagine how incredible they would be live, so I’m hoping they make it out to the East Coast… soon.
