Buzz Bands: Kevin Bronson on the music scene in Los Angeles and beyond

Happy new year, and ...

12:34 PM PT, Jan 2 2008

A bit stultified from New Year's activities? Me too. I prescribe a beautiful pop song with a driving beat, so here's the video for Minipop's "Like I Do." Tangentially, the song is on the year-end mix CD I made for some friends, and no song on the disc has elicited more reaction than this one. As far as I'm concerned, the San Francisco quartet can't get back to L.A. on tour soon enough.

Recommendation for tonight, Jan. 3

Double-dose of goodness tonight at Tangier, where Azure Ray vocalist Maria Taylor breaks loose with her solo material and young L.A.'s Robert Francis offers up his spellbinding folk.

About the Blogger
Kevin Bronson
Kevin Bronson has covered emerging and indie music since 2002 in his weekly Buzz Bands column in the Calendar Weekend section of the L.A. Times. He adores caffeine, judicious use of falsetto and the 6-4-3 double play. He abhors exclamation points, modern country and any notion that New York City is the center of the cultural universe. He's older than any music blogger he knows but has been known to pogo. He'll try not to pretend.

Bronson's Buzz Bands show can be heard Wednesdays from 6 to 8 p.m. Pacific time on the Internet radio station LittleRadio.com.
