LAWeekly Instagram: Featuring the culture of LA since 1978 ✌️

Levity has rapidly become one of the hottest acts Levity has rapidly become one of the hottest acts in bass music. We caught up with members John Hauldren and PJ Carberry backstage before and after their B2B set with ALLEYCVT at Zombie Apocalypse Music Festival in Long Beach, where they reflected on their astronomical rise from fans in the crowd to artists headlining the festival stages they once dreamed of playing. “This music changed our lives,” John says. “It changed who we are as people.” The group also opened up about the inspiration behind the next chapter of “Escapism,” staying grounded through sold-out tours and major festival sets, and the advice they’d give aspiring producers chasing their own breakthrough. “The only thing that can stop you is yourself. Really.” @levity.music Read the interview and see the photo gallery thru @laweekly ✍️📸 @carochangcreative @c_a_r___o Cover photo from Electric Forest 2026, courtesy of Shutterfinger
More than 45 years after “The Evil Dead“ changed h More than 45 years after “The Evil Dead“ changed horror forever, the franchise is still alive and well. This time, the torch has been passed to French filmmaker Sébastien Vaniček, whose “Infested“ caught Sam Raimi's eye and led him to direct “Evil Dead Burn.“ Ahead of the film's release tomorrow, July 10, Vaniček tells us about how he stepped into one of horror's most beloved franchises, balancing relentless brutality with humor, the series' famously chaotic lore, and his battle with the MPAA over the film's violence. “When you start to work in this universe, you are like, ‘Okay, so what are the rules?’ It's like, there are no rules,” Vaniček says with a laugh. @sebvanicek @evildead @warnerbros @warnerbroshorror @newlinecinema Read the interview and see the photos thru @laweekly ✍️ @gilmaciashq 📸 BTS: Matt Klitscher @nzfilmstills Stills courtesy of Warner Bros.

BLXST returns with “Labor of Love,” his first full BLXST returns with “Labor of Love,” his first fully self-produced album and one rooted in family, vulnerability and growth. The LA artist reflects on reconnecting with his purpose through fatherhood, honoring the home his grandfather built, carrying the torch for the West Coast, and why slowing down helped shape the most personal project of his career. “I just feel real proud of this body of work, knowing that it comes from an authentic place,” he says. “I think it’s going to stand the test of time. It was real stories, real vulnerable moments, and I feel people connect to that.” @blxst Read the story and see the photos thru @laweekly ✍️ @boyface_ 📸 Joshua Gonzalez
