London-based rockers Villa Cola just released a new video for their single “Modern Lovers,” directed by Emily-Jane Robinson of Emmyland. Check out the video here.

Mix tapes are love letters. (When’s the last time you got one of those? You’re welcome.) And while I’m not trying to fuck you, this mix WILL get you laid. Fact. If this doesn’t happen–and I don’t mean to sound like your father–you’ve somehow managed to screw up a sure thing. At least your failure came with a rad soundtrack.

Along with the recent release of their debut album, Gamble House will be supporting Rogue Wave on their upcoming Summer tour, including a special Lollapalooza after-party on August 6th at Schubas in Chicago.

While hanging in Dolores Park, SF last weekend, Dave Rickett presented us with a poignant ballad about how the best time of your life might not just be under your nose, but on the top of your lip. This is a seriously exclusive video.

“They sound like Jesus and Mary Chain.”

Yeah, who gives a fuck? The Rolling Stones sounded like Chuck Berry and nobody seemed to mind. Plus, Jesus and Mary Chain never made me dance the way The Raveonettes’ newest album, In and Out of Control does.

The Los Angeles Music Video Festival (LAMVF) is the brain child of recent USC grad Sami Kriegstein. Two years in the making, LAMVF was conceived solely to celebrate the art of the music video.

Two weekends ago, Erik Stinson, Danny Santos and Eliseo Cabrera ventured down to Los Angeles from Oakland with only one quest in their hearts: to seek out the last remnants of glam. In other words, do as much blow and lounge at as many fancy pool parties as possible.

Daniel Haney’s a film school dropout. He racked up a huge debt, realized his professors at Art Center lived in the past, and said, “fuck it.” If anyone has a Canon 7D, let him borrow it – his lack of a camera, other than a shoddy Flip cam and busted HVX is the only thing holding him back… (other than his love for irrational girls.)

Last week Tadpole Audio met up with Julia Bembenek of brand new LA band Mystery Claws to chow on delicious Umami burgers and chat about their new album, collecting vinyl, and the Los Angeles indie music scene.

Come out tonight to the Downtown Independent theater to check out ‘All Your Friends,’ an hour-long showcase of music videos from up-and-coming filmmakers and musicians in the LA community shown on the big screen.
