They Blinded Us With Scions: L.A. Riots Among Bands Entering Corporate Marriages

A car company recruits rising stars of the L.A. music scene to help sell autos. Who's buying?

Whether or not blasting L.A. Riots’ electro remixes is selling more cars for Scion, the company has established an association that is, hopefully, not stretching the boundaries of credibility — not the case with at least one of Chan’s peers: “There’s a Spank Rock song right now in a Wishbone dressing commercial,” says LeDisko. “I’m sure they got paid for that. I don’t have aspirations to be in a Wishbone commercial.”


L.A. Riots perform at the HARD Summer Festival on Sat., July 19, alongside N.E.R.D., MSTRKRFT, Spank Rock, Steve Aoki, Kid Sister and others, at Shrine Expo Hall, 700 W. 32nd St., L.A. For more information, visit www.hardfest.com.
