Josh Schwartz is an amazing guitar player from Los Angeles and a stellar songwriter/producer. When he left Beachwood Sparks he took the magic of his guitar and songwriting skills with him. He was sorely missed. I saw Beachwood Sparks play many times and the guys were able to mesmerize the crowd and put on a damn good live show with Josh up front on lead guitar and vocals. He’s brilliant, I look forward to Painted Hills.

Band was indeed powerful with Josh, but just a shadow of itself without. They coasted on the initial momentum for the last 3 or 4 years, until they mercifully disbanded.

Great band and a major footnote of the Los Angeles music scene. R.I.P.
Well played, Duke!

I’m pretty interested to hear this erroneous information, too. Please inform us, oh wise one!!

Thanks for this. Was wondering what happened to these guys. I saw them open for the Shins in Raleigh, NC at a place that held about 50 people (pre-Garden State, obviously). A great show, and their record would definitely fit right in now with the Fleet Foxes and Blitzen Trappers of the world

Great work here.

I read somewhere that there was a second All Night Radio that remains unfinished after Jimi and Dave fell out.

Any word on New Mystic Chords album, I had heard the plan was to record with Elvin 2 years ago.

Any ETA on the newly reformed Sparks album?
