In the last year, Highland Park's Seasons has become one of the more ubiquitous bands in the L.A. scene. Their 7-member core group, which in recent months has been occassionally augmented to nine with Don from Don's Music and Matthew Teardrop from Manhattan Murder Mystery, is not only known to be one of the best bands coming out of the HLP, but also one of the most supportive. This band truly loves their fellow musicians in the area and the community of friends they've built rivals any musical collective in Los Angeles.
Seasons celebrates the release of their first official release at The Echo tonight. "Spring" is the first of a presumed four EPs that will be released seasonally this year. They just finished it in the nick of time for this show so we haven't even heard it yet, but we know their music well enough to be first in line at the merch table. Their sound is a pure product of their influences, a fusion of indie rock, 80's synth, folk rock, and garage blues -- so if you're thinking Beck, you're in the right neighborhood.
While we're not officially presenting tonight's show, they kindly asked us to design a poster for them a few months ago and of course we said of course. The night's official presenters are Club Underground and ... Is Good, two of the most powerful musical forces in the L.A. scene so you know it's going to be a big show. Especially since the one and only Kárin Tatoyan (who we think out-lashes Bat for Lashes any day of the week) and The Hectors (one of the most underrated bands in town) are opening the show along with UK indie-poptronica maestro James Yuill.
