• Q&A: Baroque Pop King Jacco Gardner Plays Culture Collide

    If you haven't an idea of Jacco Gardner, think Donovan-like offspring of Pink Floyd and The Zombies. Meeting him, you could be fooled into thinking you're frozen in a 1967 D.A. Pennebaker documentary. Just for a moment. And then you realize he's a fresh artist in his own right. Just 25 and hailing from the Netherlands, he brings an experimental sound that has no limits of where it will go from its past influences.
  • Culture Collide Festival: Keaton Henson and Liars

    With over 65 acts from countries around the globe, Culture Collide is like the U.N. of Music. The three-day festival has seven venues nestled within Echo Park, LA. There's little room for pretention -- soundchecks happen in front of the audience and artists put their sound and soul on the line for whoever stumbles their way. There's out-door dancing, dark-room discovering, and in some cases, sitting in a church. Keaton Henson and Liars are two standout acts exploring outcast themes, which festival-goers fully embraced from start to finish.
