Cannons blast: Los Angeles alt-indie-electro-pop band Cannons has just performed at both Coachella weekends, and we spoke to singer Michelle Joy between the two. We can at least confirm that their set at Weekend One was a resounding success, and we doubt that Weekend Two will go down any differently.This is a band on the rise, local heroes-in-making who straddle the line between alternative and pop in a manner that suggests they can appeal to many markets without ever sacrificing their integrity. It’s been that way from the beginning, when they formed at the end of 2012. Their journey has been organic.“The mission since the beginning has just been to make music that we like to listen to, that we enjoy,” says Joy. “Always keep it coming from the right place, and to grow together doing this project. Ryan (Clapham, guitar) and Paul (Davis, bass) grew up together, on the same street, and have been making music together for a very long time. So they had this special connection. But...

During his time there, he worked closely with Gary Gerould, the Kings’ long-time radio announcer, and they formed a close relationship that still stands strong to this day.Over the years, the two often talked about what it would be like if the Warriors and Kings had ever met in a playoff series.“I wondered if the time would ever come in our lifetimes when these two teams would be good at the same time,” Gerould said in a recent phone interview.Roye recalled telling Gerould, “I’m going to stay in this business until we get one of these.”At the beginning of this season, a matchup...

He explained to the officer that it was plugged into the charger and he was putting it on the cradle. Traffic was stopped!He has phone record evidence showing that the phone was not used during the time of ticketing, nor was it used for several hours prior to ticketing. Do you think he has a chance of getting off the ticket if he goes to court?Dennis KennedyA: His odds of winning are 50-50, at best. The first thing he should do is get a traffic attorney to advise him.If the officer does not show up for the hearing, the ticket will be dismissed. If your co-worker presents his evidence and the judge finds the argument credible, the judge may lower the fine. If your co-worker goes to traffic school and wins the challenge, the ticket could be expunged from his record. If he goes to traffic school and loses the challenge, he’ll pay a higher fine and the ticket will stay on his record....
