The Walkmen, having been around for over 10 years now, are practically senior citizens in indie rock terms, although they really should be thought of as elder statesmen. Or maybe just middle aged. They have definitely grown and progressed audibly over that period of time, their music becoming a little less angry and a bit more lovey as they changed their personal status from single, young men to married fathers. The edge is still there, a reminder that even the happy ones still feel the sting of disappointment from time to time.

Van She are yet another stellar outfit in a long line of Australians who have the magic touch when it comes to producing and creating feel-good synthpop. Under the moniker Van She Technologic, they’ve also crafted must-have remixes of everyone from Dragonette to The Presets to Daft Punk. But they’ve really outdone themselves with this, their 2nd proper album. If there ever were a collection of songs to take to the beach and sip piña coladas to, this would be it.

The Vaccines – “Bad Mood”

Now in headline slots at European festivals, The Vaccines have outgrown the club scene, so two weeks ago at The Troubadour was special. The guys played this long-ago sold-out show in order to get LA music people buzzing about their upcoming US album release. The Vaccines Come of Age is already out in the UK and doing quite well. The band will tell you that they are becoming more rock as opposed to indie, and “Bad Mood” definitely shows off this evolution. Guitarist Freddie Cowan has never sounded better. The entire album is ace, as the band have broadened their sound and definitely “come of age”.

Go Deep w/ Bruce Rave airs Sundays from 7-9pm Pacific and Wednesdays from 2-4am Pacific

The Fonda Theatre got a good and heavy dose of rock and roll last Wednesday night as Band of Skulls lit up the stage with Io Echo and Dreamers Dose.  The British trio is no stranger to LA, having mixed their debut album here in 2009, but they came to town to rile up a devoted audience in support of their newest release, Sweet Sour.

Tanlines – “All of Me”

Tanlines are a Brooklyn duo consisting of guitarist/vocalist Eric Emm and percussionist (and everything else) Jesse Cohen. They released their first full length album earlier this year on True Panther Sounds. They formed in 2008, but did mostly production, remixes, and an EP (or split EP) here and there. The full length finally gave them the room to stretch out their legs, which was apparently all the better to dance with! Really fun and melodic without being overly clubby, it’s a perfect mix of lighthearted yet serious dance music. If that all just seems too contradictory, have a listen to their infections single, “All of Me,” and enjoy having it stuck in your brain for the rest of the day.

Catch Mo every Tuesday-Thursday from 10am-2pm Pacific, and every Friday from 1-3pm Pacific on Moheak Radio.

Los Angeles trio Wildcat! Wildcat! may have only gotten together last year, but the three have known each other far longer than that. Jesse Taylor, Michael Wilson and Jesse Carmichael played together in various bands over the years and finally became their own unit. Jesse and Michael swap vocals over a sexy indie groove, creating sweet melodies and some serious harmonies over a synthy rock base. Moheak Radio dived in a little deeper with the guys to find out what’s coming up.
