Jan 17, 2023

We’re beaming “Thinking About You Calms Me Down,” last year’s plunky single from Canadian electro-chillers Junior Boys, like a bat signal for positive vibes. Up your odds of overall enjoyment by scoring a pair of free tix to check out Junior Boys doing their thing at The Fonda on Jan. 26. Feeling calmer already? Us too.

And to Eartha Kitt, on what would have been birthday 96, we’ll offer up an anti-bat signal to honor her iconic work as Batman’s quintessential foil Catwoman. Listen on for a couple of choice cuts from the legend of screen and song including her wild spin on a disco classic.

Plus, a fresh spin-off from Scott McMicken of 2010s indie rock faves Dr. Dog; the very latest from LA R&B maven Liv.e; and a piping hot treat from Melbourne’s funkiest five-piece Surprise Chef.
