Back in early July, we did a feature on Gangi, an L.A. band by way of New York with a knack for creating infectious and colorful psychedelic pop music, as heard on their self-titled debut, A. Since then, Matt Gangi and Lyle Nesse have kept busy – playing shows, shooting their first video, and planning their upcoming US tour with Rainbow Arabia, which now includes a date in Bloomington(!)
It seems we’re not the only ones taking notice, too. The band was just featured on the cover of L.A.’s biggest music publication, the L.A. RECORD, where you can find a rather entertaining interview with the band. You can now also pre-order the Cure tribute album, Perfect As Cats, from Manimal Vinyl. Have a listen to Gangi taking on the Three Imaginary Boys cut, Fire In Cairo.
