Quarantine Online Sets: Version 24

Friday night was spent catching some music starting out at 6 p.m. On The Satellite's Instagram page, Suzi Moon from Turbulent Hearts jammed through a six song set with on fire yellow hair. Her set list was written on her hand. She ignored the acoustic rules and had an amp. Basically, she brought her punk attitudes to The Satellite's feed. What I loved were the Q&As between songs. For example, how long does it take you to write your songs?

After the set ended, there was a 1.5 hour break before heading over to Los Angeleno's Facebook page at 8 p.m. For an hour, I got to catch short sets by Ben Vaughn, Less Bells, Flames of Durga, Starlight Cleaning Co. and The Blank Tapes

Ben Vaughn opened it up with an interesting choice in color palette. He played and wore colors in the tan and brown color segment. I say he came across as someone with a dry sense of humor.

Less Bells provided an interesting combination of instruments: synths and an electric cello that created Gothic sounds that drifted from the high ceilings of an ancient European church.

Flames of Durga had the full band rocking punk style from the high desert. I have to say the video quality of their set was most excellent. It was like I was right up there in the front row.

Starlight Cleaning Co. provided some folk tunes from their living room. An upright piano could be seen in the background.

The Blank Tapes closed out the hour with Americana rock with a 70s beach sound.

Quick Hit Band Interview: Turbulent Hearts

Turbulent Hearts at The Whisky a Go Go

Q&A time with the band via Suzi. Hope you enjoy:

How would you describe your sound? I would describe our sound as Punk Rock & Roll! It's a mix between punk rock and rock n' roll. My two favorite things in life.

Would you rather be a 1 hit wonder known all around the world -OR- have a steady underground following? And then of course, why the choice? Well, one-hit wonders get the option of putting out a super hyped second hit, but they fail to be as good as the first one. But suppose a one-hit wonder made a nice career out of the quick success made off that number 1 song? Doesn't sound that bad to me. I would absolutely love to have a steady underground following, of course. People who know & love the band and grow with us. But really, I could be happy either way. It's all about what you make of your opportunities!

Own Q&A. What’s new with the band or what’s next? To which the answer would be . . . we have a new album out NOW on Headcheck Records in the UK! buy it at www.headcheckrecords.co.uk for ordering details and, uh, we are going to the UK for a tour in July/August. It’s the Road To Rebellion Tour, a short lil run with our pals The Last Gang from Orange County, CA. It's going to be a blast! Big things ahead!
