IR SoCal Presents: The Living Suns
This last week I was invited out to the Viper Room on Sunset to witness a live performance by the Fullerton, OC based independent rock six-piece, The Living Suns.
The Living Suns combine a mixture of progressive and psychedelic rock, a throwback to specific bands from the 60s/70s, although their sound is composed with a bit [...]

IR: The SoCal Sessions #23 - FM Restraining Order
I’m sorry FM… but I don’t want to get back together!!
I gave up on us a long ago after a lifetime of unannounced program changes and undelivered phone-in requests. You need to stop hounding me with your incessant repeating whiny musical cycles and inane banter, not to mention following me around the city in [...]

Hark! Three incredible groups are coming to one epic local LA venue, this Tuesday evening (5/13), starting at 9pm sharp.

IR: SoCal - April 29th, L.A. Riot [The LAPD Tapes]
File this under irregular my friends.
Today’s session is basically one continuous experimental half-hour long electronica track, crafted by someone not from the region, and with material apparently taken from the Los Angeles Police Department during the April 29th ’spawned’ L.A. Riots back in 1992.
The performer is actually from the Netherlands and goes by the moniker [...]

IR: The SoCal Sessions #22 - Suns Last Drops
Todays new session is on the heels of a lot of changes across the network. What are they, you ask? Well, I’ve provided a link below if interested, but it boils down to being involved with adding a bit of extra music programming across the network, which you will find on the Daily [...]

IR: SoCal Spotlight - Raised Under Reagan
(Cue best Casey Kasem voice)
The local punk-rock continues streaming in this week, raising in intensity to some degree, with some audio flashbacks to the 80s placed primarily so you’ll remember the featured band name long after listening.
In the vein of LA’s Wasted Youth and Bad Religion comes a group originally formed in Shreveport in 2000 [...]

IR SoCal Fireside Theatre: Cry Havoc
Clearing the palette after a complex musical odyssey in Texas, I figured what would be better than heading to a punk show down on the edge of Newport Beach in order to cleanse some of the cloying pretentious hipster residue out of the system, and make my ears finally ring.
Just past midnight on Sunday morning, [...]

Opening up our newest mixed shot comes LA’s Horrorpops, whom are Denmark reared and currently gearing up to blaze a trail across the United States with their third release, “Kiss Kiss Kill Kill”.
