After catching the Gorillaz show last night, I stopped by Hotel Cafe to check out Andy Clockwise. Andy rocked the joint, but drummer Stella Mozgawa proved once again that she is the best drummer in Los Angeles. In addition to playing with Clockwise, Stella recently became the fourth member of Warpaint. She has already taken the band to the next level with her sick drumming skills; Jenny Lee, Emily, and Theresa seem to feed off of her energy and enthusiasm.

Stella has been drumming since she was 13 and has shared the stage with Flea, Tom Morello, Perry Farrell, Josh Klinghoffer, and John Frusciante. Watch Stella work her magic with Warpaint at SXSW (down in front Jenny Lee).

I put JEFF the Brotherhood in the category of “are you fucking kidding me??” These guys take me back to the days of Fugazi and Black Sabbath. Get on this train, JEFF the Brotherhood are the hardest rockin’ band out today. For example: The Japandroids would have to ask permission to carry JTB’s equipment to the stage. “Pretty please, with sugar on top.”

JEFF the Brotherhood – Steamship
JEFF the Brotherhood – Heavy Krishna
Fugazi – Arpeggiator
