Allah-Las release new music; North American tour kicks off March 11

ALLAH-LAS TO RELEASE NEW TRACK “HEREAFTER” AND ALTERNATE TAKE OF “AUTUMN DAWN” FEBRUARY 17AVAILABLE ON LIMITED 7-INCH VINYL AND STREAMING PLATFORMSNORTH AMERICAN TOUR KICKS OFF MARCH 11, INCLUDING COACHELLACALICO REVIEW OUT TO CRITICAL ACCLAIM ON MEXICAN SUMMER[image error]Photo credit: Laura-Lynn Petric
“Cramming as much guts and passion
as possible into three and a half minutes
or less—whileburning it’s own path,
with brooding, lonesome songs, tightly restrained surf inflected musings on girls
and freedom.”— The New Yorker “Allah-Las is a bona fide Los Angeles
rock band...creating down-to-earth
tracks that sound as thoughthey emerged
from a sultry garage in Southern
California.”— Interview Magazine “Los Angeles garage-rock gurus
Allah-Las tap into an alternate reality where the world is but a California dream.”—SPIN “…slow-rolling and melancholic.”
Consequence of Sound“[Allah-Las has] turned the so-cal attitude into their own personal projection of freedom, girls, and glory days spent by the shore.”—FlauntArtist to Watch in 2017 —Baeble 
Allah-Las are set to release the new track, “Hereafter,” and an alternate take of the single “Autumn Dawn” on February 17. The alternate version of “Autumn Dawn” is a demo recording from the band’s frequent collaborator Kyle Mullarky’s home studio in Topanga Canyon. The instrumental, Mellotron heavy B-side “Hereafter” was recorded during  Calico Review  sessions and has never been released. Listen/share HERE. Limited edition wooden 45rpm adaptors bearing the band’s logo are available with purchase of the 7” while supplies last—includes digital download code. See here for more information HERE.Following their international fall tour, the band embarks on a 20+ city North American Tour this spring in support of their latest, critically acclaimed album, Calico Review (out now onMexican Summer). In addition to Coachella, the band will be playing in New York, Boston, Chicago, Atlanta and more with support from The Babe Rainbow. See below for a full tour itinerary.  [image error]Calico Review was recorded in Los Angeles’ historic Valentine Recording Studio. For the album, Allah-Las experiment with new instrumentation adding violin, harpsichord and Mellotron to their sound. The twelve tracks on Calico Review demonstrate how the group has pivoted from focusing on specific influences to crafting songs that reflect their own feelings of freedom, grit and melancholy. The result showcases their evolution as songwriters and arrangers.Allah-Las is composed of Pedrum Siadatian (vocals/lead guitar), Miles Michaud (vocals/rhythm guitar), Matthew Correia (vocals/drum), and Spencer Dunham (vocals/bass). The band was formed in 2008 while three of the members were working at the legendary Amoeba Music record store. “We were all music fans before we were musicians,” says Correia. “We’ve spent a lot of time listening to music, and understanding what works for us and what doesn’t.” Their 2011 self-titled debut was nominated for independent album of the year by the A2IM Libbys.In 2014, their sophomore LP  Worship The Sun  received critical acclaim from The Los Angeles Times who said the album “…lets the band’s trippy vintage rock absorb all sorts of new Southern California influences. Latin drumming, L.A.’s midcentury avant-garde beach culture and Laurel Canyon harmonies.” On the road the band, has built a dedicated following with extensive, sold-out tours and high profile festival dates throughout North, Central, and South America, Europe, South Africa, Russia, Mexico and Israel.ALLAH-LAS NORTH AMERICAN TOUR DATES

George Harrison pop-up exhibition to take place February 26, 2017

GEORGE HARRISON POP-UP EXHIBITION TO TAKE PLACE SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 26 IN LOS ANGELES;
EXHIBITION TO COMMEMORATE THE RELEASE OF GEORGE HARRISON'S MEMOIRI ME MINE - The Extended Edition

To mark George Harrison's birthday and the publication of I ME MINE Extended Edition, Genesis Publications will be holding a pop-up exhibition and store at Shepard Fairey's Subliminal Projects, Los Angeles on Sunday, February 26.
The exhibition will include George Harrison's handwritten lyrics and personal commentary on his songs, pictures from the family albums, and original portraits of Harrison by Shepard Fairey.  Rare limited editions on display will include: I Me Mine, Songs by George Harrison 1 and 2, Concert for George, Fifty Years Adrift and Live in Japan. 
The pop-up store will include framed prints and books by artists including: Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono, Ronnie Wood, and Sir Peter Blake.  A special I ME MINE package has been created for the exhibition, consisting of the new book, a poster and book bag; the first 100 customers will receive copies signed by Shepard Fairey. 
I Me Mine  was originally published by the specialist book publisher, Genesis Publications in 1980.  It became the first of many collaborations between George and Genesis founder, Brian Roylance. In conversation with his friend and former Beatles press officer Derek Taylor, and in a first-person commentary that accompanies his songs, Harrison's own words recount everything from his upbringing in Liverpool, to early Beatlemania, his spirituality and philosophy.  This new extended version of the book now spans the complete length of Harrison's career in music, told in his words and through 141 songs with hand written lyric sheets faithfully reproduced in full color. Now stretching to 632 pages it features lyrics to more than 50 songs not previously included, as well as new photographs, many unpublished until now.
