Perhaps that ethos is what makes Wyatt Shears’ music (produced under the moniker, Enjoy) so hard to define, an amalgamation of breakneck punk, quirky electronic synths, and a prickly acoustic guitar; a Johnny Cash song on crack produced under brothers Wyatt and Fletcher Shears’ label, Vada Vada.
Kid Bloom, otherwise known as Lennon Kloser, kicked off his Inner Light Tour at El Rey tonight, promoting his upcoming album, aptly titled “Inner Light.” Back in the fall, Kloser released his EP “Shaky Knees,” (read more about it in our interview here!) which included the darker points of his upcoming album.

12:30 pm – Chloe and I hit the road Peachy San Diego is a celebration of all things SoCal, and fittingly enough, Chloe and I drive through much of it on our journey to the festival. Starting at UCLA, we arrive hours later at SOMA, a venue I’ve frequented in the center of San Diego’s…

Rich saxophone and booming…
Photos by Sara Gorman and Gabriela Acosta One of my favorite things to do after class is to attend live music. I was lucky to catch a show on Tuesday, January 9th, the second day of Winter quarter. I hadn’t planned to catch this show, but by miracle or perhaps just sheer coincidence, Sara shared…
