While most of the world suffers due to global warming, Los Angeles is becoming more tropical in the summer and now gets rain in the winter. So no more droughts and Hawaiian vacations for all. Already the land where fun music like the Beach Boys and Mötley Crüe came from, the propensity for catchy tunes is only growing here. Enter KID INFINITY. These doodz have been around LA for a little bit now, but in recent months the addition of Erik (ex-E&E) as a behind the scenes member aka artistic director has made this electropunk flower bloom into full blown stadium pop. If you need proof, their new single/music video should seal the deal with a joy-buzzer handshake and exploding-cigar peace-pipe. A very playful and self-mocking film from the twisted and eloquent minds of The Imps of Marge and Fletch.

While nowhere near LA, pop music lives strong in anyone who loves Girls in the Eighties, including the band by the same name. This self-proclaimed Teenage Royalty has lofi melodies powerful enough to defend the title, even if heavy weights like No Age or Best Coast came to challenge. Perhaps this band truly are some 80′s babes that have time traveled to now, gotten sex changes, and are ready to show us modern folk how pop music is really done. In any case, I am perfectly willing to pledge my loyalty to them. Perhaps you will join me in service after hearing this title track from their debut album. If not though, pray to your fuzzbox gods that you are strong enough to face off against our pubescent wrath. Or maybe Weezer will just step in and pimp slap us all.
