By Jared Dudley Music Journalist On May 4th, 2021, the Los Angeles Public Library hosted and live-streamed a mini-concert performance by The Linda Lindas. The punk rock band, an all-girl group with band members ranging from 11 to 17 years old, played high-energy tunes about their pet cat, being stuck at home and a character from The Babysitters Club book series. The Linda Linda’s sound and look are immediately recognizable […]
By Jared Dudley Music Journalist In 1941, throughout New York City, the next generation of jazz musicians gathered night after night, performing experimental sessions that would last well into the early hours of the morning.

By Jared Dudley Music Journalist If you are familiar with IDLES, then you probably know what to expect from their live shows. The British punk rock band is well known for their ability to fill a crowd with surging energy. Their combination of engine-like rhythms and positively progressive lyrics make many of their songs sound like they were tailor-made to be heard in a mosh pit, where the individual movements […]
By Jared Dudley Music Journalist The sun sets on another picturesque day in the city. You cruise down the highway in a “borrowed” convertible sports car, trying to tune out the roar of the engine by listening intently to the radio. The on-air DJ is hip-hop producer Flying Lotus, and he’s gushing about the Tyler, The Creator song that just played. It’s a name you haven’t heard of before, but […]
By Jared Dudley Music Journalist In 2019, Mitski announced that she would be taking an indefinite hiatus from performing and releasing new music after her tour promoting her latest album, Be the Cowboy came to a close. To quell the worries of fans that she was ending her career, she took to Twitter to confirm that her break didn’t mean she would be gone for good. “Me? Quit music??” Mitski […]
