Jens, Jens, JENS! I had the pleasure of watching one of my favorite vocalists, Jens Lekman, the first performance of two this week at The Echo on Wednesday night.

The Beauvilles – Snow
May 27th, 2009
Florida based rockers The Beauvilles rock. Catchy, I know, but seriously what more can you say about these dudes? As I listened to them the other day, with each knob dial turn making it just a bit louder, I realized I should probably turn my stereo down for fear my anal retentive neighbors would come knocking on my door(again), and complain about the music being too loud.

Dex Romweber Duo @ Troubadour
May 22nd, 2009
I have been having a hard time making the rounds lately. LA and all the wonderful music it offers, nightly, can be pretty daunting for one person to take on. Night after night, show after show, we really have a ton of options in this amazing city. Read the rest of this entry »

Geri X – Kiss On Both Eyelids
May 20th, 2009
Pain. Redemption, Triumph and Love. Just a few of the amazing and complicated emotions Geri X helps me feel within a three minute span. This Bulgarian Born singer songwriter carries the intensity of a Mike Tyson punch with the serene beauty of one of the best female vocalists of this era. Geri X is poet, rebel, and singer with a voice that is demanding to be heard.
Geri X’s oozes confidence and rebirth as she sings with a voice that resonates with life experience and angst way beyond her years. She sings for you through the sublime progression of acoustic melodies and perfect drum rhythm setting a mood of a girl on a mission. She is be listened to over and over again, each time cranking her music just a little louder.
Play The Devil
the-devil
She is currently on a major tour thorough Florida, Georgia, Missouri, Tennessee, Ohio, and Wisconsin. She is not to be missed live. We cannot wait for her to come California. But for those of you lucky to be in those places, I would definitely make it a point to go listen her and support her.
The Counterparts Interview
May 19th, 2009A while back I met these guys via myspace. It took a while, but we got it done. Loudvine finally got the opportunity to sit down with The Counterparts- a collobo of mcs and producers. The Counterparts are so much more then a bunch of guys with microphones and fancy beats. The Counterparts act as a collective leaving their stamp on the musical landscape.

The Van Pelts @ 2nd Street Jazz
May 18th, 2009
