Group Sounds

Following a set by a homicide-justifying German boy in a Cracker Jack sailor suit mumbling over the off-keyist keyboards and some faux "bringin' back hard rock" jokers who posed a lot, the blazing band Group Sounds started their super-sonic West Coast stopover from hometown New York at The Echo Sunday night.

They kicked ass, with a sexually charged show of hard catchy rock, with a slow striptease and energetic performance from keyboard fanatic Sexy Joe. Manager Swervin' Eric Irvin kept the crowd equally pumped, loudly promising a debauched after-party at skeevy skin-club, Jumbo's Clown Room. We look forward to seeing Group Sounds again in Los Angeles soon...cuz we likes to dance and bang our heads!!

How L.A.’s Cholo and Chicano Culture Conquered the World

"To see people from the other side of the world...is dope," says Frankie Quiñones. It might sound strange to hear that the Japanese in Tokyo are championing cholo vibras.
