La Luz

***LA LUZ came together in the Summer of 2012. The band began with SHANA CLEVELAND (guitar) and MARIAN LI PINO (drums) (both formerly of the K Records psych rockers the CURIOUS MYSTERY) and now features ABBEY BLACKWELL on bass and KATIE JACOBSON on keyboards. The group brings a relaxed beach-babe vibe to their take on the sweet, thick harmonies of ‘60s girl-group and doo-wop bands. La Luz is driven by thumping, energetic bass lines, danceable surf beats, tembling organ, reverb-soaked guitar, and a wild love of rock ‘n’ roll. The band recorded their first few songs with their friend (and ex- Curious Mystery bandmate) JOHNNY GOSS in a sweaty apartment across from the laundry room in a Bothell, WA trailer park, and called the EP Damp Face. "Call Me in the Day" and "Easy Baby" are two heartache hits from the Damp Face session.
