NEW ALLAH-LAS VIDEO; DATES IN DECEMBER

“It’s possible to move backwards and forwards at the same time.” This is the mantra of Los Angeles’ Allah-Las, whose self-titled debut album is at once a feverous, sweat-soaked nostalgia trip into California’s surf rock past and a nod to tomorrow. Expect the Byrds’ sun-drenched melodies, Love’s golden guitar jangles and the Beach Boys’ Technicolor harmonies, all given a modern makeover.

It’s released today on Innovative Leisure, as is the brand new video for ‘Vis-A-Vis’. Miles Michaud from the Allah-Las says of the song: “It’s about looking at a past relationship with rose-tinted glasses and feeling that things would be great if you had stayed together, yet knowing in your heart of hearts you would end up having the same problems that drove you apart in the first place.”

They come to play their debut British shows in December, London’s well and truly sold out but hopefully another date may be added, fingers crossed.

ALLAH-LAS LIVE:
Mon 10 Dec – Shacklewell Arms – London
Tue 11 Dec – The Hope – Brighton
Wed 12 Dec – Leaf, – Liverpool
Thu 13 Dec – Night & Day – Manchester
