The Sanglorians

So The Sanglorians have a indiegogo project to fund their first album. I remember when I blogged about their show I was at a while ago really digging some of their songs and wanting to hear more of them. Well hopefully soon that will come into fruition with this crowd source DIY effort to record their first album. I have already given to the cause and thusly I wanted to shine another spotlight on their efforts as they got a week left at the moment and every little bit helps so support local music like a boss and donate to their cause to help make great music. They have a music video for you to check out that I will embed below...

George Glass

George Glass is one of those Silver Lake bands that holds a special place in my heart. They are one of the bands I have been telling people about since well before I started this here blog. I want my friends, acquaintances, and really anybody to listen to this band not only because they are great, but are awesome guys that I have come to know while going out to see shows of not only their band but they are out to see other bands in the local scene when they aren't playing as well. I love the sound of this band and am always floored by how great musicians they are whether it be Nick on guitar, Pete on Bass or Nathan on Drums. So go to their Indiegogo campaign to help them finish recording and all that other stuff involved in putting together their first full length record because if it is anything like their two EP's then you won't be able to stop listening to them. You can pay as little as 5 bucks to get just the digital copy of the album or move on up depending on what perks you want out of your contribution. I went with the 25 dollar one because I want to get the new album on vinyl. So you have 35 days from when I posting this to contribute to this campaign. And below I will embed a song that is mostly finished that George Glass put on their Soundcloud to celebrate the launch of our IndieGoGo campaign.

DIY music scene...

So we are in some kind of newfangled era of music and one thing that is becoming more clear is this is a do it yourself era. But just because these artists are doing it on their own doesn't mean they don't need a little help. Putting out an album is an expensive endeavor and they are a couple of local LA bands that I am a fan of that are using indiegogo.com a really cool website that helps people raise money through crowd funding to get their music made.

The first band I want to direct your attention to is Torches (formally known as Torches in Trees) who are pictured above. They got 46 days left to reach their goal and you can help out for as little as 10 bucks so go on to their indiegogo page and give a helping hand to get their debut album 'Heads Full of Rust' made.

The other band I want to point out is one I have been meaing to write about for sometime, the absolutely wonderful Radermacher. Well I have mentioned Malcolm and Kim's side-project College Kids fondly but that is besides the point. To get back on track I will say they are putting out the third part of their Baby Hawk trilogy and are going to press it to vinyl. This will be the first time Rademacher has put anything out on vinyl so they can be in all the cool kids record collection finally. The first two parts of the Baby Hawk trilogy are fantastic and I will put out a post for each of the first two parts leading up to the release of their Baby Hawk part III. I love concept records and can't wait to see how this ends and to expound on what I think of the project as individual releases and as a whole. So head on over to their indiegogo page and give what you can. They have a ton of different donation packages to choose from, I plan on grabbing the 25 dollar one so I can get the new EP on vinyl plus digital downloads of the whole Baby Hawk trilogy. They also made a fun video to promote this project so check it out here or on their indiegogo page. And always remember to support local music and talented people in general...
