Portishead is either a band that you like, or you don’t like, but as you’ll see in this performance, there’s no denying the sonic beauty they can create.

So earlier this month I was in LA doing a little business, but mostly there for vacation. I arrived on July 4th and decided to stay at The London West Hollywood, which was probably the best decision I’ve ever made.

After years of pounding at the backstage door, it’s pretty much official: dance music is the new punk rock. CBGBs is no more, and guitars are swiftly being eclipsed by laptops, but the DIY aesthetic is alive and well. So it’s only fitting that the future of American dance music should emerge in the form of two New England Art Institute grads, Josh Shifrin and Paul Mihailoff, who left behind their punk rock and hip-hop pasts to form Plus Move, an electronic act obsessed with the future. And for good reason - they’ve been there. continue reading...
