Soul-rock quartet Voxhaul Broadcast has been ruling the L.A. music scene for quite some time now. Their long-awaited debut album "Timing Is Everything" drops March 22nd, packed with a solid lineup of 13 tracks. The lazy guitars wailing in "Junkyard Dog" echo sounds similar to Led Zeppelin, while the track "Steal The Diamonds" is funky with R&B infused rock and a jazzy blues feel. Their live shows are dripping with sexy energy, so if you want to witness a talented rock group setting the stage on fire before they blow up, I suggest checking them out at SXSW: 

March 16 BuzzbandsLA Day Party (208 W 4th St) – 5:00pm Austin, TX 

March 17 Filter Cedar Street Courtyard (208 W4th St @ Lavaca) – 1:00pm Austin, TX

March 17 TGS party @ Rusty Spurs (405 E 7St @ Trinity) – 4:30pm Austin, TX 

March 19 Pure Volume House (504 Trinity St) – 6pm Austin, TX 

March 19 512 Rooftop (406 E 6th St @ Trinity) official showcase – 8pm Austin, TX

Voxhaul Broadcast will also be playing a FREE record release show at Amoeba on the 22nd. Until then you can listen to the full streaming album "Timing Is Everything" via bandcamp.

Eleanor Logan has a lot of loud friends, but somehow her unadorned voice always manages to be heard above the din. If her music's any indication, she must be one of those people who always gets what she wants without having to demand things go her way.
Known primarily for her work with the early grunge-nostalgic trio Adult Themes, the Brooklyn artist has just released a 2-song 7" courtesy of Crikey! Records under her new solo project, Happy New Year. Where Adult Themes hash out a fun but tried-and-true noise rock formula, Happy New Year seems more than happy to include any sound within its sonic washing machine. Guitar-driven fuzz and aggressive percussion hits surround Eleanor as she sits pretty in the middle of all the action. It's intense and calm, focused and chaotic...kinda hard to put your finger on, which only makes it more interesting.
She promises another song next month, so I'm looking forward to hearing what she sticks in the blender this time.
See her at SXSW all this week. Check her site for details. - Mike Levine (@goldnuggets)
