Although in LA to promote his latest LP, "Sonik Kicks," Weller chose to perform two Jam songs, "STaRt"(Broadcast) and "Running On The Spot" (Web Only).  Big thanks to our friends at WellerWorld for the vid.

Image By: darewreck (instagram) From The OC Register: Paul Weller’s Greek Theatre show had only been underway a short time when he arrived at the snappy, new retro-leaning ditty “That Dangerous Age.” The lyrical protagonist goes through a midlife crisis, but this legendary rocker sure didn’t sing it from recent personal experience. Back home in England, Weller is nearly as popular now at 54 as he was fronting the trailblazing punk/R&B trio the Jam at 24. Headlining large venues and festivals is still the norm there, and all his solo albums have gone Top 10. The strong current one, Sonik Kicks, came out last spring and entered the U.K. charts at No. 1. Noel Gallagher, Blur’s Graham Coxon, the High Llamas’ Sean O’Hagan are among those who assisted in the studio. Unquestionably, the past few years have seen the Modfather (as Weller is affectionately known) craft some of the most adventurous and compelling music of his lengthy career. Here in America, the singer/guitarist r...

From 88.5 KCSN : It's a rare occasion for Paul Weller to stop by a radio station to perform and chat and we were very fortunate to have that happen at 88.5 KCSN Los Angeles. He and Sky Daniels chatted up a storm and Weller and his band performed 5 songs. We hope you enjoy!

From Rolling Stone: There is no bigger music fan in fashion than John Varvatos, who's turned that love into relationships with a number of rock stars, from Chris Cornell and Dave Matthews to Alice Cooper, all of whom have played outside of Varvatos' West Hollywood store. Last night, his newest model, Paul Weller, came in to the WeHo spot to help Varvatos celebrate his 10-year anniversary at the location. Before the show, Varvatos introduced Weller as one of his biggest influences, both musically and in fashion. In an interview with Rolling Stone earlier this year Varvatos said, "Paul has always been this super-cool, stylish guy, from the first time I saw him with the Jam in 1977 to today. He's probably one of the best-dressed, best-looking guys in rock & roll." Perhaps fired up by Varvatos' continuous praise, Weller, who plays L.A.'s Greek Theater this Friday in his last U.S. show in 2012, led his three-piece band through an hourlong set at ma...

2012 Tour de France and Olympic champion Bradley Wiggins has recorded a special show with his idol Paul Weller for BBC 6Music which will air over the Christmas period. According to reports, the pair were in the radio station’s Salford studios yesterday (October 8th) to record the one-off show, which will feature classic tracks and stories from their respective careers. “It’s fantastic that two men who have excelled in their chosen fields can share their love of music on BBC Radio 6 Music,” James Stirling, head of programming for 6Music, has said. “We’ve had a long relationship with Paul Weller and I know that Bradley and his team listened to 6 Music during this year’s Tour de France. Their show will be a chance for them to reflect on their year and to play and discuss the tunes that have inspired them throughout their lives.”
