Wow, is it July already? Those of you who have been here before will know that I’ve had “a thing” for musicians who live and work on the Eastside of Los Angeles — Silver Lake, Echo Park, Los Feliz, Eagle Rock, etc. — whom I first discovered back in 2008 when I came across this little indie rock band on MySpace called The Airborne Toxic Event<\/a>. It started with a few of their friends, and as they say, the rest is history. Let’s see what everyone’s up to.<\/p>\n

I’ve decided this will be my last round-up, though I’ll continue to try to keep up with my favorites separately, of course. I’m also excited to be taking a long-overdue trip to my “musical mecca” next month and will hopefully be able to catch a lot of these folks in their natural habitat. Musings to follow.<\/p>\n

Dearly Departed: unfortunately, two of my favorites are definitely gone — The Union Line and Voxhaul Broadcast. I would give links to their goodbye pages and songs to remember them by, but it appears they’ve both taken down their sites. Bummer. Bands who plan on breaking up this year: please leave something up, ok? Whatever shit happened, you still have fans.<\/em> <\/p>\n

The only photo Autolux<\/a> has uploaded to their Facebook page this year is the one above. Good news. Not much else, but they’ll be playing 2 shows with Nine Inch Nails in Canada — November 24 in Edmonton and November 25 in Calgary. Their last album was Transit Transit<\/a> in 2010.<\/p>\n
