Angus & Julia Stone -- FREE INSTORE

Angus & Julia Stone - Free In-Store Performance
Monday, May 24th - 7:00pm

There is still a bit of room left for this event, but with their scheduled appearance on KCRW Monday morning we are expecting it to go up and over on the demand-o-meter. If you're thinking about it, you'll want to decide soon.

Coming out of Australia, Angus & Julia Stone have a warm and intimate folk sound; it's a bit of an off-season beach thing, mixed with a cabin thing, and maybe a bit of rain. KCRW has embraced them, as has Fran Healey of Travis, who let them record their second ep in his living room. Their music is straight forward, sturdy, calming, and exactly what you want when the lights go out or when the neighbors drop by unannounced. Their second full-length was released a couple of weeks ago and the early press has been great.

For example:
"She sounds edgy, all heartstrings; he's chilled, all ennui. Hung across minimal, beautiful songs, it's a powerful mix of gentle angst. " - BBC Music

Recommended for fans of Travis, Jose Gonzales, She & Him, & Al Stewart.

Samples available at their Myspace page.
