Los Angeles knows only three seasons: Spring, summer, and the beloved indie rock band out of Highland Park. Six years of seemingly playing second fiddle in the scene, Seasons have finally come into their own as one of the finer melodic rock bands in town (the addition of violinist Kaitlin Wolfberg is an absolute godsend). And with their newest EP "Autumn," the band has matured to a level of surprising sophistication that even longtime fans are listening to with smiles of paternal pride. You see, Seasons isn't one of those bands who come to Los Angeles seeking to be an overnight sensation. They were born and raised on these streets and take pride of every bump and bruise it took just to play music in front of people. One-hit-wonder hype may get you on Saturday Night Live, but it will never get you the respect of this city. And Seasons have earned every ounce of that. If you don't believe us just see who shows up to all the shows in January.
And so on Monday at The Echo, Seasons celebrates "Autumn" in the wintery month of January with friends One Trick Pony, Count Fleet, and Torches (formerly Torches in Trees). It is the fourth and final chapter of the Seasons EP releases ("Spring," "Summer," and "Winter" are all available on their Bandcamp) unless, of course, they get all meta and break down every solar pattern change into calendar units only found on ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, which could result in an infinitesimal amount of Seasons EPs -- which would be awesome. They'll be performing each of those EPs each week with probably many friends joining them so if for some reason you can't make it out on Monday be sure to see them sometime this month.
Seasons "Autumn" EP release is 1/2 at The Echo (Free/21+) followed by four free Mondays through January. EPs available on their Bandcamp.
