AXS Launches New Video Series "Patio Sessions"

• USA - English

The Struts Patio Sessions will take place on the patio of the historic Desmond Building in downtown Los Angeles. Overlooking the iconic Los Angeles skyline and nestled a few blocks from L.A. LIVE, the Desmond Building operates as the homebase of AXS, Goldenvoice, and AEG Live. The end result of the Patio Sessions will be a new immersive experience for AXS users and fans of live events.

"It's a great way for music fans to discover new favorites, and get up close and personal to acts they are passionate about," said Ashish Kapur, head of digital media for AXS. "In front of a handpicked audience of fans, tastemakers, and music industry professionals, The Patio Sessions will deliver unique performances and interviews from up-and-coming bands and musicians that will capture the artists from all angles."

Hailing from the U.K., The Struts descend from a long, rich and distinctly British lineage of operatic glam rock, with an updated feel. The band's debut album, Everybody Wants, swerves away from the sounds that currently dominate radio and the charts, delivering arena-ready anthems that are unabashedly reminiscent of rock 'n' roll's hedonistic glory days. Currently on tour, The Struts will be back in Los Angeles on Nov. 3 at the Fonda Theatre, tickets available here.

"We are thrilled to have The Struts as our first act," said Justin Jimenez, VP of Content for AXS. "Lead singer Luke Spiller evokes frontmen from a different time. There's a little of Bowie, a little Bolan, a lot of Mercury and a hint of Jagger. But he's undeniably a talent on his own and his vocal range and aesthetic mark him as the next great rock 'n' roll leading man."

In addition to the live stream, a produced interview and subsequent behind the scenes moments will be captured and published on AXS.

Additional acts confirmed for the Patio Sessions include Disney sensation Olivia Holt on Sept. 14, Gothic Tropic on Oct 12, and Magic Giant on Oct 20 — with many more to come.
