Here at The Stylist LA we are huge music fans. We just found out that DJ AM released 5 hour long mixes for free. He says that they are sloppy because they were done live with no rehearsal but they sound amazing to us. We have yet to decide which is our favorite but you can decide for yourself by downloading them here. If you like these you should check out the DJ AM Travis Barker sessions, which are available for free here.
Our band of the week this week is 80's aficionados Cobra Starship in honor of their new album, Hot Mess. You've probably heard their song "Good Girls Go Bad" featuring Leighton Meester, but they have been making great music since 2006. The band started when former Midtown member Gabe Saporta collaborated with members of other bands to write the song "Bring It," which was featured on the Snakes on a Plane soundtrack. The song was well received and Gabe decided to make Cobra Starship a full fledged band. It is currently made up of 5 members, including a female keyarist named Victoria, who is basically our hero. They've released two previous records and will be touring this fall with Boys Like Girls, another Stylist LA favorite. They will be playing Club Nokia October 27th, so bust out your most tubular snap bracelets and raddest fanny pack. Until then enjoy this playlist that features some of our favorite Cobra songs.
We were lucky enough this week to score some last minute VIP tickets to the Ting Ting's concert at Club Nokia on Tuesday night. From the minute we stepped inside the venue we could tell that the kind of crowd that came out was interesting. We were incessantly inspired by all of the neon, leather, and old school doc martens that we saw. The show made us want to put on a graffiti tee, find some old, beat up doc martens at a thrift store and cut some holes in our jeans. We are pretty sure that feeling carried through to some of our dress buying today...
