Anthony Kiedis and Ed Ruscha cruise Los Angeles
Sep 13th
Ed Ruscha has been kicking out the jams since the 50′s. The Red Hot Chili Peppers have been doin’ it to it since the 80′s. Both embody the true spirit of Los Angeles in their art. Enjoy this amazing clip of Anthony Kiedis and Ed R. cruising the streets of Los Angeles and talking about the city, its art, and a little bit of artistically-applied etymology.
No other artist today personifies the mood and attitude of Southern California like Anthony Kiedis. It’s a distinction he and The Red Hot Chili Peppers have earned for over two decades of music that’s shaped the contemporary sound of the West Coast. Like Ed Ruscha, Anthony Kiedis drew inspiration from Los Angeles and used words to speak of its sordid beauty. They may have expressed it in different art forms but the heart of their work has the same beat.
Stream the New Weedeater Album
Mar 11th
In advance of its release next week, the fine folks at Weedeater and Southern Lord are streaming the new Weedeater album, Jason the Dragon, in its entirety at this location. The band are currently on tour with Zoroaster and will be demolishing the Echoplex here in Los Angeles on Sunday evening. Check ‘em out when they hit yer town, too.
In case you didn’t know this already…
With a sound and presence like no other band in the world, Weedeater stand apart from all others, both live and on their recordings. Their unfiltered and unrefined energy surges uncontrollably through the band and anyone who bears witness to their live show. Spite and deep resentment somehow fuse with comedy and maximum volume to produce an indignant, vomitous (both figuratively and sometimes literally) performance that is forced upon the willing yet hapless crowd.
