Health - Die Slow (video)

From The Smell to The Wiltern, Health is moving on up in the world. I'm not really crazy about the noise bands made infamous by downtown L.A.'s The Smell, cuzz, really, it's mostly just a lot of noise. But, obviously, there are always a few standouts in any scene. No Age, Mika Miko, and, sometimes, Health, being the few exceptions in this instance. Case in point: their new video for "Die Slow" is a visual feast for the eyeballs & that I can always appreciate...

Health will be hitting the road to promote their new record, Get Color, starting tomorrow & will actually be playing three back to back shows in L.A., before making a quick tear through the rest of the country via Love Pump...

Mika Miko Smells

MiKA MiKO is one of the acts that came up thru L.A.'s all ages, indie-cool venue, The Smell, and is a band best appreciated live. They say so themselves. Bass player, Jessica Clavin, told ClashMusic.com: "I think we come off better live than we do recorded. It’s better to have that impact as a live band, isn’t it? If we had to choose to be better live or recorded, we’d go with live." I happen to think they come off pretty damn well in this video for "I Got A Lot" too.
