LA band Foxygen has just released a music video for ‘Coulda Been My Love’, off today’s brand new Jagjaguwar release …And Star Power. Though this awesome duo (with their accompanying full band) won’t be in the PNW for a while, you can still watch the video.
Last Friday, newly formed LA band This Legend made a stop in Seattle for their first ever (?) tour together. This veteran quartet has had plenty of press from Yellowcard founding members Ben Harper on guitar and Longineu Parsons III “LP” on the kit, but also prominently features singing members Chris Castillo of Stanley And The Search and Steven Neufeld of HeyMike! holding the low end. With a short tour under their belt and a pair of tours scheduled (including Lagwagon support later this Fall), This Legend is wasting no time in getting the word out. The band’s debut record is already finished and awaiting release, and was produced by Sam Pura (The Story So Far, State Champs, Elder Brother).
Next Tuesday, 7/22, LA bands Kitten and Dear Boy will visit The Vera Project in Seattle, featuring Hard Rock Rising global Battle Of The Bands winner, Joyfield! This will be the first show since the young PNW group returned from their BOTB feature in Italy, and with two seasoned LA bands lined up, it’s going to be a huge night. Tickets are $12 advance ($15 DOS) and available on The Vera Project calendar.
