My fave LA band The Oohlas have just released their new music video for their brand new single Adventures which will appear on their upcoming new EP titled Chinchilla (due out soon). The Oohlas‘ debut album Best Stop Pop was one of my fave albums of 2006 and this is their first batch of new music since. Check out the video for Adventures:


Their song Small Parts was featured on the Spider-Man 3 soundtrack but I think that Adventures would work so well on Gossip Girl or MTV’s The City. I really wish more people were able to hear music from The Oohlas because their tunes are sooo damn good. I’ve been listening to Adventures all day long … it’s really infectious. I can’t wait to hear the rest of the tunes off the new EP!

Kay Hanley, lead singer of LTC, and I have been sorta-cyber pals over the past few months (exchanging emails, txts and Tweets) and last night was our first chance to spend quality time together. We previous got to meet in person at the Veruca Salt show at the Viper Room back in August but tonight was it. I met up with Kay before the show and joined her and her friends and family members for a quick bite to eat at the Rainbow Room. I got to meet her sister-in-law Justine and her brother-in-law Gary and we all hit it off. We didn’t want to miss The Oohlas, who were opening up for LTC last night, so we got over to the venue in time to catch their amazing performance … here are a few pics of The Oohlas rockin’ out last night:


Ollie and the boys were in fine shape. They sounded amazing and their new songs really rocked out. I’m so anxious to hear more. Greg announced from the stage that an EP of new stuff is on the way. Woot!

Then it was time for Letters to Cleo to take the stage … here are a few of the pics that I took last night:


I kid you not, LTC sounded just as awesome as they ever have … they rocked out as if no time had passed since the break-up. Kay sounded divine, USA Mike was jumpin’ around like a madman and Stacey … well … he was just a flurry of drumsticks and flying hair. It was a raucous and extremely fun night all around. I took a TON of photos and some of them are pretty amazing. Click HERE to check them all out. Awake is prolly my fave LTC song and I was too bizzy jumping around while they performed it to video it … but I did manage to vid their performance of Here and Now. After the jump, check out that video …


The sound was so loud, I’m bummed that video doesn’t sound better … but you get the gist, Letters to Cleo are back to their rockin’ best. Folks in Boston and NYC are in for a treat when the band takes their mini-reunion tour there in December :)

I had a really great time and I got to meet a few Pink readers like Angie, Austin and Jenny (who was workin’ at The Roxy last night) … I also got to take a pic with Christina:


It was a pleasure meeting you all :) The night just kept goin’ after the show as over … I was invited to join the LTC crew at Red Rock for some aftershow drinks and convo. Justine, Gary and I found out that we’re neighbors and I learned that she runs the very cool blog The Unbride. As the night came to an end at around 2AM, a group of Prop 8 protesters converged on Sunset Blvd. after they had been protesting on the streets of LA all night long. It was a great way to end the night.

Tonight I’m meeting up with Mike for some dinner and then I have a million things to start taking care of for the bizzy week ahead. OY!
