Bebe Zeva is a popular alt celeb/alt teen sensation from the Los Angeles California area. She is known as ‘the top model’ for the popular I AM CARLES brand and has done other branding+identity work for other alt + maltstream brands. In this video, it seems like she creates some sort of ‘new alt dance craze’ while vlogging on the internet. Only time will tell if this...
From what I understand, if you live in Los Angeles, and you are more than 5% famous, you will be hounded, photographed, and forced to talk to random paparazzi bros who make their living taking pictures of famous people. The feeble ginger bro who has a gun put up to his head in M.I.A.’s music video “Born Free” was interviewed while him + his mom were in some relevant...
Throwing Up   I’m here once again at 1234 Shoreditch, the boutique music festival in the heartlands of hipster heaven. Things are a bit shaky at first, with all the bands appearing to have technical problems at the same time. I wander from stage to stage watching musicians huddled around their equipment and looking a bit baffled. There’s not a lot of music being played. After...
Warpaint   The queue has been forming since seven o’clock. It is seriously chucking it down with rain. I do the sensible thing and adjourn to a nearby establishment with a good view of proceedings. I’m not the only one admiring the fortitude of the sodden masses outside. Things don’t get really moving until nearly nine o’clock. I squeeze down the narrow stairs into...

Link: http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2010/09/an_interview_w_44.html Panda Bear’s TOMBOY is one of the most anticipated albums of 2k10…but unfortunately, it might never come out, and just leave us with a ‘gaping hole’ representing what 2k10 never was…TOMBOY spoke [EXCLUSIVELY] to Brooklyn Vegan in a TELL-ALL-INTERVIEW, breathing fire, talking mad shit, and...
Superhumanoids From: Los Angeles, California, United States Superhumanoids are a Los Angeles four piece, set up as an electronic experiment to explore pop through a spaced-out, kaleidoscopic lens. They sound like a fruit smoothie made from The Strokes, Orange Juice, Prefab Sprout and The Chills. Which has to be one of the coolest, poppiest fruit smoothy this side of Ben & Jerries (...
The Monolators From: Los Angeles, California, United States The Monolators were featured on the first ever Devil’s blog (I’ve Started Something) and have been regulars ever since. The LA band are looking for a little support to help them finish the production of a 12" vinyl record. They remain unsigned (a travesty that makes me despair of the music industry) and have put out...
Haunted Tiger From: Los Angeles, United States LA’s Haunted Tiger are one of the many bands featured on the CV of exotic and punky American chanteuse Lately Blu Blu (featured on the Devil’s blog back in March this year Blu Velvet). I promised at the time of the Lately Blu Blu feature that Haunted Tiger would be following the next day. I clearly got a little side tracked as...
