The guest list is now open (562.433.4996).

Here's a bit from their bio:
Great Northern released their atmospheric and melodic debut album, Trading Daylight for Twilight in 2007. With its catchy hooks, lush keys and breathy vocals, it was received warmly and created a solid buzz. Their new album Remind Me Where the Light Is, is the work of a more seasoned group, one that has been on the road for months, missed home, seen the world, and returned, not entirely prepared to sit still and write. It became very clear to them that they were going to do things a little differently this time. Great Northern take bigger chances on Remind Me Where the Light Is. Wishing to expand their sound, Bixler and Stolte began working with producer Michael Patterson (Beck, BRMC, and She wants Revenge, among others) and Nic Jodoin. The results being upbeat, guitar-driven songs, yet with the familiar layered vocals and sweeping, panoramic sound.

Filter Magazine said "...a beautiful collaboration of sound."

Los Angeles Magazine said "The Stevie Nicks-conjuring rock and roll songs couldn't be better."

We say, "get yourself on the guest list and see for yourself."
