Jail Weddings
If they aren't L.A.'s biggest band, Jail Weddings definitely have L.A.'s biggest soundan nine-person-deep rock 'n' soul revue that feels like the Pogues as produced by Phil Spector, a soundtrack to a Hollywood-gone-Babylon left unloved and unexplored since the last notes of X' Los Angeles LP. Their 2010 full-length Love Is Lawless was gigantic, the kind of thing that should be a film (directed by Billy Wilder) but becomes an album instead. L.A. Weekly correctly called it "a big, fine mess of weepy, quavering, hiccupy hurtin' hurt, plowed through with a way-tough punk rock theatricality and welcome good humor," and a lovestruck reporter for Seattle's Stranger reported that "Jail Weddings songs sound the way the band looks: huge, soulful, and swaggering, taut and unpredictable as a cat."
