Peyton’s Big Damn Band (not an LA band though) and the Black Widows for obscurity, (I don't think the latter is around these days)But performance wise I must say Third Grade Teacher takes the cake. http://www.thirdgradeteacher.com/new_home.html She scared the crap out of me....I still have nightmares. You know it when she gets all hypnotized and stares right at you at a uncomfortable length of time. Evil I say, pure evil. But I like them, they look all sweet and innocent but woooo your in for a surprise. None-the-less, I really enjoy the sounds of Airborne Toxic Event and would love to see them. ~Kris I have to say there are many good bands out there, Rev.

Include Long Beach and I would say Deep Sea Diver. I have to say the Happy Hollows if this is limited to LA. Include Long Beach and I would say Deep Sea Diver.

Some people compare them to Buddy Holly. Others to the Modern Lovers. Fair enough, but I say what we got here is a modern-day Television. Seriously: I was a doubter until I caught them live at the American Legion Hall in Highland Park. Now I am a true believer. I love love love their new LP (and yes, I do indeed have that lovely slice of heaven on vinyl). Highly recommended! The Monolators. Some people compare them to Buddy Holly.

And the band's indignant, openly wounded response to Pitchfork in defense of their music, of the LA indie rock scene, and of the Silversun Pickups? Clearly, the band spent much too much time reviewing, editing, and revising their letter, much like the Pitchfork writer did with his review. They really are one and the same.
