Modern Time Machines' blend of shoegaze space rock textures combined with noise pop sensibilities has drawn comparisons to Silversun Pickups and Sonic Youth, yet they craft their own unique, distinctive brand of music. They combine '60s psychedelia, boy/girl vocal harmonies, feedback-laced love songs and yes, time travel, into a riotous melange of beautiful noise.

The band made their national TV debut on Adult Swim in 2012 with a live performance on the cult hit The Eric Andre Show, and their music has received strong support from the major Los Angeles radio station KROQ 106.7FM. Modern Time Machines was recently featured in the Silver Lake music scene documentary “Pass the Music” alongside bands Happy Hollows, Airborne Toxic Event, and Henry Clay People. Their music has also regularly aired internationally in a major Japanese TV advertising campaign for the Meisui Tei hotel resort.

After recording their initial set of songs with producer Josiah Mazzaschi in 2010, the band's first single “Dweeb” began receiving regular airplay on Los Angeles radio station KROQ 106.7FM. Continually refining their sound, the band garnered noteworthy praise for its shows, playing LA venues such as Spaceland and The Echo alongside acts including Superhumanoids, Light FM, Nightmare Air, and Letting Up Despite Great Faults, as well as touring Austin, TX for the 2011 SXSW music fest.

Modern Time Machines' debut full-length album “Continuity Girl” was released in 2012. Co-produced by Josiah Mazzaschi (Jesus & Mary Chain, Deap Vally, Let's Go Sailing), and Steven Rhodes (Silversun Pickups, Darker My Love), “Continuity Girl” envelops the listener in frenzied, layered guitar/ string soundscapes, and catchy, bittersweet vocal textures.

"Echo Park‘s Owls is less than a year old, yet they’ve already managed to write a solid selection of songs that give a recent throwback to the early aughts post-punk revival. Carrying a peculiar vocal inflection and indie rock alacrity, their sound mimics Interpol after exposed to the California sun. The group is lead by Irish expatriate Sean Kangataran on guitar and vocals but is unique in that they feature horn players as full-time members (Spencer Sussman on trombone/keys and Ken Hirako on trumpet/percussion) and not just as session musicians or tour support. The group will continue to play local shows and plans to release a new song every 60 days." --Dan Frazier, Free Bike Valet
