Autumns in Los Angeles

It was humming at Spaceland, on a Tuesday night in October in 2002. After walking over to the 7-11 and back, after sitting in the smoking room, eavesdropping on people across the room by sitting under the huge curved disks on the ceiling, the hipsters gathered in front of the stage. Only a step up from the floor, the Autumns are setting up their equipment. The crowd is hushed but chatty.

The Autumns nearly always go on late, but they're worth it. The music, blurry guitars, studded with gorgeous melodies, sets you adrift on seas of music, surfing the strands of Matthew Kelley's voice. At the end, you're entirely wrung out by this band described by one kuaptic-ite as "like Radiohead, but better."

Check them out, before they aren't just ours anymore.
