The band called The Mornings....

There is this great band - based in the Valley - called The Mornings. I've seen them a couple of times and they are energetic and very entertaining with their blend of rock, pop and reggae along with some 70's Wurlitzer-keyboards and horns on occasion. Recently, they have been surprising with some unusual things in their live shows. The last time I saw them the lead singer Adam did this dance-hall reggae thing that sounded like Shaggy and then three of the guys did a rapid-fire rap, over this ambient beat - which was great as well as pretty funny. One other time I saw them, they had a show at the House of Blues that was inspired by LOST the TV show - complete with singing and playing the DRIVESHAFT song 'YOU ALL EVERYBODY' . (If you watch Lost, you'll know what that is).

Anyway, I say all of that because they are playing Thursday night at the Malibu Inn in Malibu at 9:45. Check them out...its a cool venue as well - located at 22969 Pacific Coast Hwy.

I'll think you'll dig 'em
