- Rhythm Room
Pepper Rabbit bring their unique pop songs to the Valley from Silver Lake, California.
Rawkblog.net said:
"Pepper Rabbit, a trio based mainly on keyboards, bass and drums, stitched in their live looping seamlessly on Tuesday night, fleshing out their gloomy psych-pop with clarinet, ukelele, harmonies and whatever was at hand in their surprisingly cluttered stage. It was precocious stuff from a wet-footed live act, but the songs were as sharp as their instrumental sureness, gaining a boldness and volume on stage that recalled Grizzly Bear’s promising early days."

Doolittle, the band's third album and the first to chart on Billboard's album charts, includes classics such as "Debaser," "Wave of Mutilation," "Here Comes Your Man," "Hey," and "Gouge Away." An imaginative cinematic production has been created for The Doolittle Tour. Designed by long-time Pixies lighting designer Myles Mangino and designer Paul Normandale, the set features four huge, undulating, eyeball-like spheres flown just below the lighting rig and are part of the concert's light show. Filmmakers Judy Jacobs, Tom Winkler, Brent Felix and Melinda Tupling were brought on board to create 11 films especially for the production. The films are projected onto a massive backdrop video screen to accompany 12 of the 21 songs that comprise the show. Fuck Buttons to open.

Tv Buddhas
Tv Buddhas are a garage rock from Tel Aviv Israel out on their first US tour. They are the self proclaimed kings of geek bubblegum, the kids who prefer to stay at home and watch lord of the rings than go out and get drunk. They consist of brothers Uri and Mickey Triest, and Juval Harring. The band is originaly from a small suburb of Tel Aviv, Israel, but is currently based out of Berlin, Germany.
Their music is heavily influenced by The Ramones, The Replacements and Richard Hell, while their lyrics lean more towards the outsider approach of Jonathan Richman and The Modern Lovers, directing their own anti-social heat against current day hipsters, polaroid-glory and loud outgoing fun girls.
Their new self titled EP was recorded in one hour using one microphone and a field tape machine. They have completed over 400 shows in the past 3 years, mainly in Europe, and will be touring the US for the first time in autumn 2010. - Cosmeticators @ Ice House Tavern Sep. 24

K-os, born Kevin Brereton, is a genuine neo-crossover rap n’ roller who’s music, much like your Ipod, might speak to hipster club kidz, pop chart gazers, Canadian indie rockers, dirty south electronic rap renegades, or reggae rude boys simultaneously. As it should - his rhyme and crooning skills took root in arguably the most polyglot and multi-cultural city on the planet, Toronto. And he’s quite vocal about his not belonging to any one genre - he belongs to them all. Says K-os: “I’m a historical opportunist who’s grown up on everything from Dylan to Marley to KRS-One… I’ve never seen myself as just a hip hop artist”.
