Panache lost one of our oldest agents and colleagues this past week, our dear friend Annie Southworth. Annie had worked with Panache for nearly a decade, and our friendship spanned over 15 years. When she joined forces with Panache, she brought such powerful wisdom, strength and experience to our very young fledgling booking agency. Together […]
This week, we’re sharing songs from Ezra Furman, whose latest record, Transangelic Exodus, was just released last week.
Panache is excited to announce 2018’s VILLAGE OF LOVE, our sixth annual Valentine’s Day Planned Parenthood Benefit Concert. The event will take place on Wednesday, February 14th at The Teragram Ballroom and feature renowned musicians from Los Angeles performing original material as well as covers of their favorite love songs. There will also be a […]
Excited to announce that Oh Sees will be rocking out in the desert at Coachella 2018 this spring! Tickets available here.
When Jess Cornelius named her 2016 album Give Up on Your Health, she did so as a warning to herself not to get sick – physically, or mentally. As an artist, she couldn’t afford it. The musician, who performs as Teeth & Tongue, has just swapped Melbourne for LA. Sounds great, except she found that sorting out visas, tax, social security numbers and bank accounts leaves little time for creativity. Being a musician is dispiriting, she says.
Which is to say, is there too much recorded music in the world? Yes. Is most of it forgettable? Certainly. Below are 30 albums, alphabetically arranged, by Los Angeles-area artists issued this year that deserve your investment.
My motto is: try everything, life is short,” says John Dwyer, the leader of San Francisco garage rockers Thee Oh Sees. “We are growing at every turn. Every day you get a little older, a little closer to the grave – you should taste it all.
As his band releases its 20th album, the prolific musician and label head explains how ‘D&D’ and a “zen” work ethic fuel his underground empire
Whether you call his band Thee Oh Sees, Oh Sees, or OCS, there’s no denying John Dwyer’s prolific musical output.
Oh Sees’ John Dwyer was the latest guest on Marc Maron’s “WTF” podcast. The conversation covers Dwyer’s prolific career and his influences.
John Dwyer, the frenetically prolific frontman of Thee Oh Sees and all the band’s verious mutations (Oh Sees, OCS) joined Maron in his garage to talk about garage rock.
Ty Segall has shared a new single. It’s called “My Lady’s on Fire,” and you can hear it below. The new track follows his recent songs “Alta” and “Meaning.”
Ty Segall is the latest to cover the theme song for Adult Swim’s animated series “Squidbillies.” Segall has joined the list of artists who have taken on the theme song, including Against Me!’s Laura Jane Grace, Sharon Van Etten, Father John Misty, Bob Mould, and more.
Of the video, frontman John Dwyer said in a statement: “Animation and role-playing games were a huge part of my youth, so I was really excited to work on this with Alex Theodoropulos and make a fun Halloween video that harkens back to the real simple times.
Just in time for Halloween, Oh Sees have a spooky/scary animated video for “Nite Expo” from this year’s Orc. Hand-drawn and animated by Alex Theodoropulos, the video plays off some of frontman John Dwyer’s childhood loves.
Thee Oh Sees, or Oh Sees, or OCS, or whatever John Dwyer is calling his band these days, have a new album coming out next month. But today, they’re looking back to this summer’s LP Orc with a colorful animated video for “Nite Expo” from director Alex Theodoropulos.
John Dwyer, the guitarist and lead singer for Oh Sees (formerly Thee Oh Sees), makes a good case for the argument that the best decade for making music is right now.
The Oklahoman stalwarts make electronic-tinged psychedelia, while DeMarco pens earnest, slacker-rock jams — but their oddball personalities and charismatic live shows make perfect sense together.
The indie-rocker’s third album contains his most immediate, heartfelt songwriting.
Mac DeMarco may no longer need to participate in medical experiments for pocket change, but nine years into his career, the 27-year-old Canadian soft rocker still isn’t taking anything for granted.
On the album’s opening, title track, Dwyer sounds every bit as at ease as he did over the wild Richter-scale energy of his recent records.
Indie-rock goofball Mac DeMarco recently premiered a new music video for his song “This Old Dog,” the title track off of his latest album.
Mac DeMarco has shared a new virtual reality music video for his song “This Old Dog,” the title track from his most recent album.
Mac DeMarco’s head voyages through time and space – on the nose of a pug – in the psychedelic, virtual reality video for “This Old Dog.”
“…I’ve done my best to keep up with the man’s output, but he doesn’t make it easy: his releases just don’t let up. I have a great deal of admiration for not only John’s music but for the intensity with which he pursues it. In that way, he is a true artist, one who’s never taken the easy route.”
“Throughout the record, he sounds as eager to mess around with his singing as the music: the glorious, steamrolling sludge of “Animated Violence” is the closest Oh Sees have ever gotten to metal, with Dwyer dropping comically Gene Simmons-esque growls in between gleaming Thin Lizzy arpeggios.”
“..the record is an absolutely evil stunner from front to back, top to bottom, head to toes and everywhere in between, and whips up the same kind of radiant, strange awe that the band’s overdriven catalog has so generously perpetrated album after wicked album.”
“…as evinced by the reduction-of-band-name and its terse title, Orc aims to cut the fat off last years’ trial runs and introduce the new Oh Sees thesis as yet another Phlegethon of shrieking Gibsons and yelping Dwyers now aiming to fill observatories rather than dive bars.”
