The infectious R&B dance beat and the acid-y summer synth and guitar tones in Neil Frances’ “Dumb Love” call for a trippy good time. The clean vocals and distorted noises emulate a modern-day Funkadelic. Throw a fashion runway for the latest hipster summer collection in a snow globe of perpetual existence, and you get “Dumb Love” as the soundtrack.
Catch Neil Frances live in Los Angeles at The Echo on November 30th opening for our fave NoMBe.

Savoir Adore are coming to a city near you! Lock up your children! (just so they are safe when you go out the concert…) And I can’t think of a better jam to get amped for a show with than “Giants”. This massive stomping sing along is sure to lay waste to any sedentary vibes you are feeling today.
Los Angeles, catch Savoir Adore and Paperwhite tonight at School Night! The rest of the tour dates are below.
Both long and short time readers of The Burning Ear know I love me some Pompeya. These Russians make the best beach music this side of the arctic circle. And they are bringing their warm vibes here to chilly (kinda) Los Angeles for 5 FREE shows in March. I’m proud to present the 1st of those shows next week at Highland Parks awesome new venue The Hi-Hat.
Russian pop/funk outfit Pompeya released their latest album Real last year and have been touring since with critical support from NPR, Stereogum, SPIN, Pas
The dichotomy of Disco Shrine is inherent in their name. Half party, half spiritual devotional to said party, they are damn serious about having a damn good time. And that’s what their debut EP Soft Fur is all about. Falling in love? Dance it up. Broken heart? Dance it out. Bored? Dance it through. Lazy? Just go home then.
With this sudden heat wave we’re having in L.A. it makes a person want to get out and get weird, amirite? Thankfully local good-time goddess Beating Lights has cooked up just the right concoction for our Friday night. Join the party at The Hi-Hat to celebrate Disco Shrine’s release of Soft Fur as well as sets by King Shelter and Tambourines. PLUS DJ sets by yours truly. And if you can still stand upright after all that, there are some extra pop-up goodies. It’s like a mini music festival but without any camping or dehydration. Rally the troops and see you there!

Two of my favorite mad scientists, Magic Bronson, are emerging from their lair of sounds every Monday in January to make us feel weird/wonderful at The Satellite. This Monday’s love-fest will include their new jam “Run Run” as well as a performance by Nicky Blitz. So abandon your own lair for an evening and come fill your ears with magic. See you Monday.
I have the distinct pleasure of presenting long time TBE friends Hunter Hunted at Club Bahia on Thursday night. If you have ever enjoyed a Hunter Hunted jam or video (or  their previous incarnation Lady Danville) then you will want to come out for this one. Its a special show that will feature deeper cuts from Lady Danville as well as guest performances by their extended (and extremely talented) musical family.

Hunter Hunted has already promised that these shows will be more “intimate” than usual which can only be a plus. Additionally, we’ve got sets from Sympathetic Frequencies, Air Life, Steady Holiday and DJ Justin Cornwall.
