Detour Festival: And Justice for us

The consensus in my group of music mavens is that the lineup for the second annual LA Weekly Detour Festival on Saturday pales in comparison to last year's -- nothing against Bloc Party, Satellite Party, the Pity Party or any of the other parties involved. But they (we) might be underestimating the excitement the Banger crew will bring to the proceedings. Word-of-mouth is that the most anticipated set is Justice's.

Los Angeles' representation is strong -- in particular I'm eager to see Autolux (new music, please?) and Moving Units (whose new music, "Hexes for Exes," reflects a departure from the angular dance-punk on their first album and will be released Tuesday).
