get to know VENUS INFERS (especially if you like Razorlight as much as I do)

I have been so f-ing busy that I forgot to give a quick recap of the last 1029310374 hell ya nights - - - so before I forget AGAIN - I wanted to quickly post about Venus Infers.

I first heard about this band from LARRY LITTLE from his kick ass TANKFARM compilation. Right away I loved the track, and when I saw a photo of the band I instantly thought of KINGS OF LEON. (hot)
These guys are damn good. I mean really good. I couldn't take my eyes off the lead singer for a number of reasons: 1) he's really pretty 2) he's really tall and super thin (*i like my rockstars to dissapear when they turn sideways!) 3) he's got some serious pipes 4) he started and played the whole set SHIRTLESS! SEE PHOTO

(mind you this is at the ECHO, i'm sure most people in the audience were put off by this, but I applaud them for having the balls to do it. Take that hipsters. If you got it, flaunt it! If you don't, create it! haha

So for fans of Johnny Borrell (RAZORLIGHT) & Kings Of Leon, etc.... this may be your new favorite band!


VENUS INFERS 'London's Raining' youtube video

**Thanks to all the bands who played, because the whole HELL YA! lineup was awesome - BIRDS OF AVALON and CAVIL AT REST both SLAYED live. Will somebody please get CAVIL AT REST a great producer that can capture their live show?

Head over to ROCKINSIDER to read more about the show and download mp3's. JAXwrote a great recap of the show on her blog HERE and posted photos from the night on her Flickr page HERE.)

RAZORLIGHT tonight @ El Rey!

I've been so busy with SXSW planning that I completely forgot RAZORLIGHT is playing tonight in LA! Could Johnny Borrell be any hotter?


I first was obsessed when I first saw the video for "GOLDEN TOUCH". RAZORLIGHT should be a massive band in the US right now, can someone tell me why they aren't? Johnny Borrell is such an amazing frontman, he is MY Mick Jagger. Just like Alex Ebert of Imarobot is MY David Bowie . . .

Here's a Download for ya:

RAZORLIGHT "IN THE MORNING"

Go see them tonight @ EL REY or in Austin for SXSW! Give Johnny Borrell my phone # while your at it! ;)
