Nosaj Thing, Flying Lotus & Daedelus..
<3
Funny, Nosaj Thing was the my first thought too.. maybe he’s not underrated enough. 😛 I also agree with Daedelus. Just to have some different ones: Raleigh Moncrief, Shlohmo, . But I can’t say I know if they’re in L.A. I love Toki Monsta too but she might not qualify as underrated. Fail. I may come back to this..there are a lot..

1: Nosaj Thing “Drift” album is so good, Fog got me hooked (best underrated by far). I dig the remix he did of Flying Lotus’s “Camel” too.
2: Flying Lotus’s “Los Angeles” album was amazing back in the day, and Cosmogramma is just as good.
3: Baths dig False B-Sides
Teebs, Daedelus (saw both of these guys play a show in Pasadena in January and I was one of about 20 people there – just not right.), Stars of the Lid/Brian McBride (McBride lives in Echo Park now).

yeah, the handbill was up because the poster wasn’t done… finished the poster and updated with that.
Nosaj Thing, Daedelus, Teebs
Guns N’ Roses, Red Hot Chili Peppers & Van Halen. Did I win?
No, you lose because Van Halen is the most underrated band ever, independent of location.
I’m from Los Angeles and I didn’t even know there were any electronic acts around. I guess I need to get out more!

dear san francisco / new york,
since every act in LA gets completely over hyped as soon as they open for 4 other bands at 7pm for an audience of 6, there is no one here that is “underrated”. “underrated” is a term that should be reserved for laptop fiends who spend their time twiddling analogue synth knobs waiting for it to be warm (winter in nyc, summer in sf). we appreciate the thought, but seeing that the glitch mob was touring europe within 3 minutes of releasing their first XLR8R podcast, “underrated electronic acts” don’t really exist here.
thanks for thinking of us,
los angeles
I would have to say the most underrated artists in LA would have to be
Baths/Geotic, Shlohmo, and Tokimonsta.
All of these artists are bending the hip hop, electronic, and dubstep genres with a mastery that goes beyond most artists that are double their ages.
forgot my email!
“name the three most underrated electronic acts in LA right now”
You’ve got to be stupid, completely new to the scene, and ignorant if you think artists such as FlyLo, Daedelus, Tokimonsta, Nosaj Thing, and Mr. Dibiase are underrated.
I’m going with:
1. Tom Croose
2. Haz Solo
3. Burntpiano
To expand on what I meant above, all those artists are getting the attention, publicity, and credit they deserve. They’re definitely awesome but by no means underrated.
@kain in my opinion, no matter how popular someone is they can always be underrated. #flyinglotus
Virtual Boy, B. Lewis, Baths
Teebs
Shlohmo
Nosaj Thing
But really anyone from Brainfeeder or Alpha Pup to be honest.
flying lotus, nosaj thing, health
Flying Lotus, Teebs, Nojas Thing
@ Scott only if Diamond Dave is at the helm.
