POPSHOP WEST 011: NIGHT TERRORS OF 1927

Last week's Popshop West with Kate Boy and Lovelife was one for the ages, and we've got another power bill lined up for you next month featuring an entirely homegrown cast of LA's finest new acts. Opening things up, we have support from local upstarts Dead Times alongside pop noir newcomer Jaymes Young, both making their respective LA live debuts. Then in the headline slot, we've got alt-radio soothsayers Night Terrors of 1927 keeping you up late into the night. It's all going down Thursday, July 25th, at the Echo with $8 advance tix now available HERE.

THE WORLD KEEPS BURNING.

We first introduced you to Los Angeles mystery men Night Terrors of 1927 back in September, but that was just a hint at the unbridled pop grandeur to come. Picking up where the promise of debut offering "Watch The World Go Dark" left off, follow up single "Dust and Bones" is a post-apocalyptic kumbaya of epic proportions that will possess and save you in the same breath. It's a beautifully orchestrated four and a half minutes of fatalistic bliss - all ageless harmonies and relentlessly uplifting guitar and piano chords - and when your time is up, you'll just want to live it all over again. Night Terrors continue their ascent to LA buzz band supremacy next month at Popshop West, supporting Pacific Air at The Echo on December 7th.

POPSHOP WEST 006: PACIFIC AIR

Following last month's official Two Door Cinema Club afterparty, our next Popshop West takes us back to where it all began with Pacific Air (the artists formerly known as KO KO) returning to our stage to headline after opening up the inaugural PSW with Haim and Wildcat! Wildcat! last spring. Supporting the fair-haired boys of summer as they play their first LA headline, we've got the ever-mysterious Night Terrors of 1927 bringing their night heat to the mix along with '80s dreamcatchers Lesands kicking things off early. It's three of LA's best and brightest providing all the feel-good vibes you could possibly ask for, with a two hour open bar on Cutty Sark whisky (for real) thrown in for good measure, just because we love you that much. It's all going down at the Echo on Friday, December 7th, with $8 advance tickets now available HERE. Let's close out the year in style, LA.

NEON GOLD PRESENTS: ST. LUCIA

Our knight in shining armor, St. Lucia, will be in LA this week after wrapping up his west coast run with Two Door Cinema Club (remember to come out to the official afterparty for their Palladium show with us TOMORROW), which is obviously headline news. Warming up the stage before St. L are two of our favorite new Cali bands, the worldly mystery-pop of Night Terrors of 1927 and the upbeat ruggedness of Beat Club. It's all happening this Friday at The Satellite, with doors at 8pm and $10 advance tickets available HERE. Make moves, bring your fall looks, and let's do this up big, autumn style.

THE SUN WILL RISE AGAIN.

It feels like we've been on West Coast time for most of 2012, so taken are we with the Californian pop landscape at the moment. Dipping a toe into the crowded LA waters this week are Night Terrors of 1927, who dust off their floral print shirts and dive right in on debut offering "Watch the World Go Dark". As lily-jumping synths skip across an ocean of deep blue vocals and breezy balearics, it plays a bit like an Active Child remix of PAPA covering Kisses - a best coast trifecta of sand-blasted pop that kicks up the beach and keeps summer alive.
