Electric Guest is at the Granada tonight

If we’re taking bets on this year’s indie-rock crossover summer jam (past winners include Foster the People and MGMT), I’d give good odds on Los Angeles duo Electric Guest. The band’s falsetto-heavy funk is charming, but its connections are why I think we might have a radio hit on our hands. One of the members is Asa Taccone, brother of the Lonely Island’s Jorma Taccone and co-writer of “Dick in a Box.” Danger Mouse has produced Electric Guest’s debut, Mondo, and imbued it with the lazy, acoustic psychedelia that he brought to Broken Bells (“American Daydream”) and the oddball soul of Gnarls Barkley (“This Head I Hold”).
