Anya Marina -- FREE INSTORE

Anya Marina - Free In-store Performance - RESCHEDULED!
Sunday, March 29th - 4:00pm

We were all very sad to hear it when Anya had to postpone her in-store last month due to a death in the family, but being a trooper she's gotten back to touring and she remembered our pending date. That rarely happens and it's a real class act move, so take our previous enthusiasm for her appearance and bump it up a couple of notches, we're now (more) extremely excited to announce this rescheduled appearance.

Here's what we wrote a few weeks ago, but since then Anya has appeared on Jimmy Kimmel show and the love she's received from KCRW has grown exponentially. Trust me, this will be a good one.

Anya Marina has worked her way through the arts, and arts related, industries - beginning with an acting slot in the film 100 Girls, a stint DJing at San Diego's KBZT, and now she's a fully-formed recording artist. While she seems to have done well at all of these, in fact she still does the morning show on KBZT, it's her singing that's knocked us for a loop. Imagine the sunny pop of the Cardigans paired with the clever wordplay of a young Liz Phair, and all of it with a bit of the innocence of a summer camp talent show. It's bouncy, clever (at times a bit quirky) but mostly it's fun pop with an unexpected edge. Her new release, Slow & Steady Seduction: Phase II, is out now, and we are extremely happy to have her stopping in to help us kick off our 2009 live music series. Since Anya is a new artist, we're going to jump right to the open guest list, so if you'd like to join us, please give us a call (562.433.4996) and we'll get you set up.

We have streaming audio of Anya's song "Move You", which we're pleased to pass along to you. Click here for the Real Audio version, and here for the Windows version.
