Mickey Hart of Grateful Dead interview with DHR!
DHR’s Jeff Vincent had the great pleasure of interviewing the legendary Mickey Hart of The Grateful Dead. Wait, great pleasure? Yeah right, more like explosive experience! We talked mostly about cosmic music humming through the endless universe.
“There’s 2 elements… music of the whole earth… And the music of the cosmos… that I’ve been sampling from the radiation of the epic events in the universe… From The Big Bang, when God put his foot down and the great groove began.”
Okay, that’s [...]
Terrapin interview with Free Download of Innermachine LP
Terrapin – innermachine. Cover art by Andrew Wilson.
There’s a wistful mystique surrounding this wonderful album by LA/So Cal psychedelic, shoegazey rock band The Terrapin. As the LP followup to their Kill… EP, innermachine captures the band at both its creative height and melancholy parting of ways.
“The innermachine line-up of the band reached a point where it became difficult for the interpersonal to be separate from the music,” shares Rufo Chan, drummer of The Terrapin. “It was [...]
Todd Snider at El Rey Theatre with Johnny Depp
DHR received a special correspondence from actress, director, model, and friend Lydia Muijen, who’d been inspired to write for us after experiencing a Todd Snider performance at the El Rey in Los Angeles a few weeks ago. Snider has been hailed by Rolling Stone magazine as “America’s sharpest musical storyteller,” while USA Today called him “A fearless folk-rock troubadour… often hilarious – and always provocative.” We’re happy to share Lydia’s thoughts.
An Evening with Todd Snider
“I sure do appreciate you all [...]
Brook and River and their small smiles
There’s something called small smiles. It’s a quirky approach to smiling, in which the smiler attempts to suppress the smile to a restricted breadth. It sounds silly, and it is, maybe even eerie, like something from The Twilight Zone; but it’s also quite difficult to achieve, the primary obstacle being laughter. To simply not smile largely seems to affect the opposite, and the act of smiling small usually ends with a giggle. While the small sensation may not be sweeping [...]
Ticket giveaway for guitar legend Phil Keaggy!
Hendrix, Clapton, Keaggy: forgotten legend plays Brixton
The legendary Phil Keaggy plays Brixton Sunday night, located on Redondo Beach pier.
Hiding in the shadows of rock and roll’s guitar greats, like a bursting blast of light for those who find him, and a legend to those who always knew him, is one of the more gifted giants who simply slipped away from common knowledge. Regardless of whether his name is spoken across the dinner table, he remains in rank with the [...]
Laike acid folk LP just added from Sweden!
The first and only words to us from Christofer Ståhle were, “I’m a dirty hippie who just released an acid folk album…” Boy, did he pick the right website to reach out to…
Ståhle hardly could have known that I, co-founder of DHR, possess one of those strangely unique penchants for acid folk music. In particular: U.K. acid folk, which is the realm wandered by Laike: Ståhle’s solo project that brings us the LP “Långt från stadslivets dån” (Far From the [...]
DHR hosts Latin-psych hour on Levitation Radio KXLU 88.9 FM Los Angeles 3/22/12
DHR will be co-hosting a special show tomorrow Mar. 22 on Levitation Radio 88.9 KXLU Los Angeles. It’s KXLU’s noon-3 Thursday slot for garage and psych from today and yesteryear – as well as whatever the DJ damn well feels like spinning; be it blues, funk, or some freaky French cuts. And tomorrow we got Latin psych!
Over a year ago, Levitation Radio granted us a birthday wish: to play 3 hours of Latin American psych and Brasilian Tropicalia. It was [...]
VUM LP “Night Sun” recently added!
As wolves serenade the Moon,
She smiles at their croon,
While wading in glimmering pools,
Rolling eyes at crazed fools,
Admiring herself with silver giggle,
Hiding beneath the shimmering riddle,
That no creature dances tonight,
Below magical moonlight,
For she knows she has none,
They worship the Night Sun.
Night Sun, by Jeff Vincent (inspired by The Moon, Donner Pass, and VUM)
Our placid pools were so disturbed by VUM’s debut release of “Strange Attractor,” that we tossed and turned sweaty nights away in angst-riddled anticipation for the follow up [...]
ZuhG visits second home in South Bay
ZuhG plays Saint Rocke in Hermosa Beach, CA tomorrow night, Jan. 25.
It’s a fascinating accomplishment when a band from elsewhere, outside Los Angeles county, is able to secure a following here in the South Bay. I’m not talking about acts like Toots and The Maytals, Dickey Betts, or Tab Benoit, who enjoy throngs of predetermined fans flocking to their tour buses. I’m talking about everyday bands, and underground bands. Bands like Fartbarf and Temporal Love. Emerging bands on the [...]
