Beneath a curtain of lush harmonies and folksy warmth lies the Los Angeles quintet Milo Greene, a band that’s receiving a swarm of buzz for their rapid success and intimate live performances. Their single “1957″ has been a pleasant welcome to the Locals Only playlist, a chilled-down track that’s perfect for a sunny day drive or a break from the typical heavy-duty guitar thrashing.
For three FREE Mondays in February, Locals Only is sponsoring Milo Greene’s residency at The Satellite (formerly Spaceland) for your listening pleasure. Special guests include fellow folk-rock and LO compatriots Family of the Year and prog-rockers Hands. Kat Corbett will also be on the 1′s and 2′s for the February 13th show.

Let’s be honest, we don’t all have incredible plans for New Year’s Eve. Yeah, we’d rather go to a cool club than hang at our friend’s house eating chips and dip till be fall asleep. The problem is, the clubs around LA are just too damn expensive. Most start at $100 per person just to get in the door.
Good news, The Roxy has you covered!
They’re calling it the Biggest Party On Sunset. For a mere $25 you’ll see Semi Precious Weapons, Warner Drive, Benvenue, Open Air Stereo and Beta Wolf! While general admission is only $25, you can spring for VIP big baller tickets at $45. Get for tickets + Watch Semi Precious Weapons and Warner Drive

It's definitely spontaneous and in the moment. It's too hard to have foresight when you're writing music and it's coming together with different people.

When it comes to taking the road less traveled, White Arrows front man Mickey Church could lead the discussion. Born with a crippled eyesight, Church developed an early dependency and relationship with his auditory faculties. He didn’t attain full visual normalcy until he was eleven. Here’s where it gets weird. Church and White Arrows bassist JP Caballero, who thought of each other as childhood friends, recently discovered they are in fact brothers, “When we got older our parents dropped that ball on us, so we started hanging out more. It’s just a technicality I guess. They went, ‘Just so you know, you’re actually related technically speaking.’ It was really pretty strange,” reflect Church.
You can bet White Arrow’s unique and unconventional past has spilled over into their music. So far, pinning a genre for the Los Angeles natives has been as shifty and difficult as solving a rubik’s cube. You may have heard White Arrows on Locals Only with Kat Corbett, turning your car into a dance party with their single “Get Gone.” There’s a bit of everything in their music. The most obvious is a sharp and jaunty arrangement of indie-pop. But there’s also some transcontinental influences as well. Hence, why one reviewer called them “Psycho Tropical.”
We recently interviewed White Arrows lead singer Mickey Church, and discussed all things past, present, and future. From their formation and familial ties, to riding mechanical bulls with another KROQ favorite in The Naked and Famous, we’ve caught you up to speed on one of LA’s hottest up-and-comers.

The Fling are back with their second serving of tour journals. This time around bassist Graham Lovelis is manning the pen, documenting all of the highlights (and lowlights) on the road from Denver, to NYC, to Philadelphia. If you missed our first blog post from Graham’s brother Justin, click here to get caught up on the action.
In this installment, Graham depicts a house party in Albany with The Red Lions, sleeping in vans with a bunch of men, and recommendations on good places to grub if you’re planning a visit to one of their stops.
