    It's Toro Y Moi Thursday!

    Whether you know him as Chaz Bear, Les Sins, Plum or Toro Y Moi, the always innovative artist keeps us on our toes. We bring you an exclusive live performance from Anne's Backyard where Toro y Moi shares slices of his latest album “MAHAL” and joins us for a charming chat full of surprises. Check out the full performance video and more. And if you’re a fan, you best be running over to the KCRW’s giveaway portal for your chance at tickets to see him perform live at The Greek Theatre on October 29th.

    We keep the funk flowing with the live version of feel-good Seattle 3-piece, Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio’s “Ain’t It Funky Now.” It’s a booty-shake blend of 1960s soul-jazz, slinky New Orleans funk, and a splash of acid rock guitar - what could be better!?

    Plus we hear “Automation” in celebration of the tickets we have to give away to Los Angeles post-punk trio Automatic, live at the Regent on Saturday, August 7! We have five pairs of tickets to give away... enter for your chance to win!
