Silverlake Indie Scene ’03
This whole “going into the future” thing has me thinking about how long I’ve been in LA, and tangentially about the Silver Lake music scene I was hanging out in when I first got here in the earlier half of the ‘oughts. So, for your listening enjoyment (or your ignoring pleasure, whatever), I thought I’d take a glance back at the “old school” Silver Lake indie scene and give a shout-out to all the fun indie bands that were making the rounds. Hey, many of them still are…
People on the street were talking about Interpol, Ambulance LTD, the Shins’ second album, and MySpace. (What?) Silversun Pickups was appearing on Letterman. The Sunset Junction music festival was bringing Blonde Redhead and the Buzzcocks in to entertain everyone. And most importantly, these guys were dominating the scene…
Autolux – Turnstyle Blues
Army navy – Saints
Gran Ronde – Secret Rooms
Pom Pom Diary – O Modern
Gliss – Halfway Gone
Foreign Born – We Had Pleasure
The Little Ones – Lovers Who Uncover
Silversun Pickups – Kissing Families
Monsters Are Waiting – Nobody
Viva-K – Does it Matter
Oh yeah, and you'll want to download my book.
