Our previous cover band, Local Natives, has had an amazing year. With raving reviews about their Coachella and SXSW performances, and their killer debut album "Gorilla Manor", they have a lot of expectations for the new year from eager fans. Before going into hiding to write their new record, the band will tour Japan and Australia leaving at the end of January. But before they do, they will have a special performance in New York City for Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. I always did like his taste in music.
They will also be releasing a special remix album, which is in the works right now, and being made right before our eyes on their Stems website. Also, if you have any appreciation for art, photography, or journalism, then I encourage you to check out their blog. It’s a sort of tour and behind the scenes diary, but some of the photos taken are beautiful. It reflects their music with feelings of nostalgia, weariness, good times, and a true appreciation for life and what they’re doing. These guys are artists in every aspect.
