Female-driven punk rock? Check. A Los Angeles-based music an arts festival? Double check (two whole days, no less). Androgynous electro-ambient-rock? Check. And, of course, an across-the-nation sensibility? Triple-check. We live to keep your bases covered, but as always, feel free to tell us what big act we may be missing out on. Check out our picks for this coming weekend below:
It’s hard to be the last band of the night to play, especially when the audience waited through three other bands. Voxhaul Broadcast closed The Echo’s Saturday night (Sept. 27th), and the soul-infused rock band exceeded the audience’s expectations. However, you would have known this would happen after reading BeatCrave’s interview with these guys.
The four piece band was able to continue pleasing the crowd until the end of the night with their groovy tunes and high energy. Although The Echo in LA has a small stage, it suited the sounds of Voxhaul Broadcast as they played with such a collective bond. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a band be so into each other on stage. Between watching the bass player’s thick Devendra Banhart-like hair creating a blur in place of his face (lucky genes for his offspring!) and watching the lead vocalist and his guitarist/keyboardist jump around to their own tunes like nothing else could be better, I was more than charmed. They could have done the cliché pair-up on one mic and sing with smiles bit, and I still wouldn’t have scowled.
