Culture Collide 2014 Festival Lineup

Culture Collide Festival 2014 Poster

We’re very diverse when we post music. We listen to everything coming from Australia, New Zealand, UK, and even Iceland. With that, it’s no surprise we’re huge fans of the Culture Collide festival that takes place in the Echo Park area of Los Angeles.

This year, the Culture Collide festival will also take place in San Francisco (lineup announced July 10th) and New York. The first wave of the Los Angeles lineup has been announced and they are listed below:

Cloud Nothings (USA), Nina Persson (Sweden), Quantic live (Colombia),

The Southern California Summer Music Festival Lineup

Summertime is upon us and for Los Angeles that means heat, traffic, and beach trips. The music scene, though, is fourth. One of the great things about Los Angeles, aside from Dodgers games and fast cars, is the talent this city houses. From Local Natives to Red Hot Chili Peppers, they’re based in LA. The venues hosting some of the very best include The Wiltern, The Music Box, and The Palladium. But most of the time it’s in festivals where they make their name known.

This summer, Los Angeles is host to a slew of festivals. Think about it as Coachella spread out over three months. Everywhere from Downtown LA, Pasadena and even Pomona, there will be a host of free or cheap music festivals. The only thing you’ll ever have to worry about is Los Angeles parking (click for real-time parking info), but that shouldn’t hold you up. Here are some of the best from Southern California in order of which festivals are coming up first.

Show Review: Gold Fields (Los Angeles, CA)

What do you do when you live in LA and are having a stressful week? We head to the Sunset Strip. And do what? Well, we go and check out an awesome Aussie band. That’s exactly what we did last night when we went to go check out Gold Fields for a third time in a month.

 

The first time I heard Gold Fields was last month during the Culture Collide Fest in LA. I instantly fell in love with their hard-punching sounds ringing in my ear. The next night, it was more of the same. They played in consecutive days for CC and I just couldn’t get enough. I would have gone another time when they played at Capitol Records but went with Bombay BC at the Music Box instead.

Show Review: Two Door Cinema Club (W/ Friends & St. Lucia)

This past month we’ve been to plenty of shows: from watching bands play in the Culture Collide Festival to free local shows and even some Bombay Bicycle Club, but there’s one show in particular we were looking forward to: Two Door Cinema Club with Friends and St. Lucia. Two Door always put on a good show — with all the singing, and dancing in the crows. As fun as their show can be, we wanted to see the level of badass-ness Friends could reach in their own set.

Friends isn’t your typical female-fronted band. They’re composed of three chicks and two dudes. Having never of head them before, you’d probably think they’re a cover band mostly filling in with 80s’ pop tunes. This Brooklyn-based band has its cool funk stemming from their very cool lead songstress, Samantha Urbani.
