White Denim at the Troubadour, 1/19/10

All that they attempt

On the record, they pull off

TRIUMPHANTLY live!

Helios and The One AM Radio at The Bootleg Theater, 1/10/10

The One AM Radio

Simplicity that

Flirted with stereotypes

But out-lovelied them

Helios

As though he weeded

Our mind's gardens and planted

His peaceful blossom

Atlas Sound at the Natural History Museum, 1/8/10

Even with guitars

Unintentionally sour,

It was still glowing.

Sun Araw at the Smell, 1/7/10

So much lushness from

Just one being that I hope

He keeps it solo

Best Coast, Dunes and Brilliant Colors at Synchronicity, 1/6/10

Dunes

This band sounds so much

Like a description of the

Genre, I craved more

Brilliant Colors

Heather Lewis vibe

That complimented her fun

Legacy smartly

Best Coast

They draw a crowd for

A reason: those melodies

Cannot be buried.
