[FOMO-GRAPHS & MINI CULT TALK] Bleached Gets Kissaulted At The Troubador
Bleached played the Troubador the other night for the final date of their national tour in support of their extra-excellent debut album Ride Your Heart, and in short, it was the best (I am a talented and multifaceted writer). It could be argued that I am a tad bit biased, as lead singer Jennifer Clavin...
[FOMO-GRAPHS] Criminal Hygiene, Zig Zags, And Bad Antics At The Bootleg
I’m bad at show reviews (and also at hard-boiling eggs, but that’s neither here nor there) so I’ll just say that the first night of the Criminal Hygiene residency presented by Cultist and KXLU was a rousing success, if evidenced only by the fact that a higher-than-normal amount of people left their credit cards and...
[FOMO-GRAPHS] BURGERAMA II DAY 1
I could write a long-winded ode to how fun/awesome/wonderful Burgerama was, but I’m tired and lazy and all the lights are still really bright so instead here is a haiku: Burgerama two. Someone gave us a baby. Audacity rules. Here are some photos by Rachel Remz and Blaque Chris: Tijuana Panthers Fuzz Jessie from Bleached...
[FOMO-GRAPHS] The Altamont-Cultist-Blundertown-Sailor Jerry SXSW Showcase
We NASCAR-ed a SXSW showcase with our friends from Altamont, Blundertown, and Sailor Jerry, and the result was a pretty good party I guess. Oh fuck it, humility isn’t my strong suit, it was the best party of the week (in a week that felt both like a whole year and like one long...
[FOMO-GRAPHS] White Lung, Nü Sensae, + Audacity at The Echo
When your favorite bands all play a show together it kind of feels like you get to to Souplantation but they have somehow added both the salad bars from Sizzler and Claim Jumper, thus making the ultimate buffet experience. (I exclusively deal in chain restaurant metaphors these days). On March 7th, White Lung, Nü Sensae,...
[FOMO-GRAPHS] Dune Rats at Bootleg Theater in LA
(all photos by Rick Rodney) According to a very enlightening artist bio on their Facebook page, DUNE RATS ARE 2 DUDES. And after seeing them play a ripping session with female-fronted Alpine at the Bootleg Theater last night, I can definitely confirm that fact. Specifically, Dune Rats are Danny Beus and BC Michaels of...
[FOMO-GRAPHS] The Cultist One Year Anniversary Party
So we’re the kind of assholes who throw a party to celebrate the fact that we have maintained an online magazine (glorified blog) for ONE ENTIRE YEAR, complete with DJs (Bleached and Este from Haim), balloons (four Happy Birthday ones and one that randomly said “Get Well!”), and a pinata (Mickey-Mouse-shaped and filled with pregnancy...
[FOMO-GRAPHS] FIDLAR, Pangea, and Meat Market at The Fort in LA
When I found out that our friends FIDLAR, Pangea, and Meat Market were going to be playing an all-ages show for only $5 in LA, my first thought was “This shit is going to be fucked up.” And, to put it in very few words, fucked up it was (Ed Note: Brevity is the soul...
[FOMO-GRAPHS] The Black Lips’ Middle East Tour Diary
So the Black Lips went on a tour in the Middle East a while ago and to be honest I’m a teensy bit bummed no one got arrested or shot or became a political prisoner anything. Like, I’m really happy they’re safe and sound and all, but I was secretly hoping for an international crisis...
[FOMO-GRAPHS] A Night With Christeene
(all photos by Rick Rodney) So, a few weeks ago we went to Austin for Fun Fun Fun Fest. And you know what? We had all the fun (cubed). We flirted with rappers, ate vegan frito pie burritos, and got in very-public, alcohol-fueled blowouts with our boyfriends after too many free beers and $2 mimosas...
[FOMO-GRAPHS] Homo-Ween With SSION
My mom might say that the fact that I spend my time at parties called things like Homo-Ween is probably aiding in my not-married-ness, and she is probably right but I don’t care because Homo-Ween at Los Globos in Silverlake this past Saturday was pretty much the perfect Halloween party: there were insanely over-the-top costumes,...
[FOMO-GRAPHS] Cult Jams ft. Hunters, Starred, Psychic Twin, And More
The following things happened at CULT JAMS at Piano’s in NYC this past weekend: 1. Bloodnstuff blew the crowd away with their raucous brand of lo-fi heavy metal. 2. Roxy Cottontail played all of my favorite songs between sets whilst looking unbearably adorable. 3. I drank one thousand three hundred and forty eight whiskeys. 4....
