It’s day 5 of the great Los Angeles Rain-In (yeah, I’m capitalizing it y’all) and the idea of the ‘rainy-day iTunes playlist’ is wearing thin as we have gone from being stuck in the mood, rather than attempting to find music that fits said mood. Enter Columbia, South Carolina glo-waver, Chaz Bundick and his recent Carpark Records-signed project, Toro Y Moi. This 23-year old is good. Really good. I’m afraid we can’t take credit for discovering this gem – it came to us from the newest addition to the INDIGENOUS staff who’s music taste proves to perfectly compliment ours.
Starting in 2001 as a bedroom project, Bundick had to then focus on getting a Graphic Design degree under his belt. After completion at school, he decided to go after the band thing, though, I can pretty much assume he wasn’t going after trying to become one of the most buzzed-about new acts 2010 (and our office) has to offer. Sounding on the surface like fellow glo-fi, Southerner Washed Out, the music on his Crusers of This debut pop-and-fizzle like an under-the-bed Animal Collective buzzing alongside Daft Punk synths chopped by the crate-digging hands of beat-master Prefuse 73.
Check out standouts “Blessa” “Minors” and “Thanks Vision” off his Feburary 2ND, Carpark Records released debut LP, Cruisers of This.

The 2010 Coachella line up was announced today and what’s better than making the annual trek to Palm Springs for some fun in the sun… poolside cookouts, plenty of cold adult beverages, good friends and a plethora of live music — we are so there! Narrowing it down to an overall top-five is impossible, narrowing it down to a top-five per day is barely manageable (you might as well throw a dart at the line up poster cause wherever you land, will most likely be a great set), but here’s our attempt. See all you weekend warriors in the desert…tix on-sale on Friday.
DAY 1: FRIDAY
5/ Fever Ray – psych goth elctro pop (yes, that combo is possible) – we’ve heard strange things about her show and going out of sheer curiosity
4/ Echo & The Bunnymen – iconic band who have probably influenced half the indie bands you love now
3/ LCD Soundsystem – despite the what you may think, LCD puts on a killer live show with live instrumentation
2/ The Whitest Boy Alive - cause Erlend Øye is the shit
1/ Jay-Z: the HOVA himself
DAY 2: SATURDAY
5/ Tokyo Police Club - indie darlings we <3
4/ Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - Join the commune!
3/ Band of Skulls - this UK rock band will blow you away
2/ Hot Chip - we’ve yet to see them, but are HUGE fans – HUGE!
1/ FAITH NO (freakin) MORE - enough said!
DAY 3 SUNDAY:
5/ Sly & The Family Stone - go old school. how many times in your life will you see Sly & The Family Stone?
4/ Florence + The Machine - maybe The XX will make a special appearance for “You’ve Got The Love” – LOVE that remix!
3/ Pavement - any guy who grew up in the 90’s wet dream. sorry girls, good luck pushing your way to the front for this one
2/ Thom Yorke - no brainer, wouldn’t miss those dance moves… and the music is pretty good too.. ; )
1/ King Khan & The Shrines - you don’t want to miss this shit show of a party!

The highly talented, and somewhat aggressive, psychedelic rock band Brian Jonestown Massacre, is set to release their tenth studio album, Who Killed Sgt. Pepper? on February 23rd. The 13-track album was recorded throughout 2009 in Iceland and Berlin. Pre-order Who Killed Sgt. Pepper? here
As you may know, one of Indigenous’ acclaimed projects of 2009 was executing premier parties (and integrating the coolest of the cool) for We Live In Public, Sundance-winner directed by the brilliant, Ondi Timoner. Ondi is the only director to win the Grand Jury Prize twice, to date. The first of which, Dig!, solidified her and her film subjects in indie rock/indie film history–>The Dandy Warhols and Brian Jonestown Massacre.
