At the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and Virgil Avenue on the edge of east Hollywood, there stood for several years a bar called Little Temple. On Tuesday evenings here, you might stumble across a jam night named The Rotary Room, where you could find Money Mark performing alongside the legendary upright bassist David Piltch, or Tommy Morgan, the harmonica player on the Beach Boys’ I Just Wasn’t Made for These Times, covering Van Dyke Parks tunes with John Lennon’s drummer Jim Keltner, while a member of the world’s best Led Zeppelin tribute band worked the sound.
The Rotary Room was dreamed up by singer-songwriter Jade Vincent and her partner, composer-keyboardist Keefus Ciancia, who together with David Holmes have now launched a new project: Unloved. Anyone curious to know about the musical influences on Unloved’s debut album need only consult the playlists from those Tuesdays at The Rotary Room: a little Shuggie Otis, a touch of Connie Francis, Brigitte Fontaine meets yé-yé, Broadcast and Morricone mingled with Bonnie Beecher’s Come Wander With Me.

She made her name in the 90s by incorporating the electronics of dance music producers into her music. On Kidsticks, her sixth album and her first for four years, she has worked with Andrew Hung of Fuck Buttons, combining both her past and a look to the future.
The origins of Kidsticks lie in the electronic loops Orton began working with when she moved to California two years ago. From that she has produced a record apparently inspired by Los Angeles as well as her early work with Andrew Weatherall, William Orbit and Kieran Hebden.

In Division, the ninth track from her debut album Intra, Elizabeth Rose sings “why hold onto something that only separates?” Accompanied by a clip that portrays a gay couple’s struggle to find acceptance from family members, the song, she says, is a call to arms to make marriage equality in Australia a reality.

Even before voters get inside a Hillary Clinton campaign event, they’re confronted with Katy Perry.
Clinton’s team blasts the candidate’s official playlist of mostly female-led pop ballad bangers – such as Perry’s Roar and Stronger by Kelly Clarkson – so loudly it can easily be heard by those waiting outside venues.
