INDIEROUND

LPR’s INDIEROUND series features fresh indie rock and pop artists in a uniquely immersive setting: the venue’s one-of-a-kind circular stage. With artists performing “in the round” while surrounded on all sides by the audience, the series offers a perspective and experience that literally has cutting-edge and inspiring live music as its central focus.

Monogold

In an interview with The Village Voice before the release of their last album, Monogold told the Internet “We’re a fucking rock band.” Since the release of 2015’s “Good Heavens”, which was Monogold’s acoustic-based effort, they have torn down any preconceived notions that they or anyone else had of them. After completely stripping down their sound for “Good Heavens”, the Monogold boys took this new foundation of simplicity and started building with their signature, catchy power-trio melodies and hooks. They still like to go deep on the lush soundscapes, but their songs have become a bit more focused and driven by the instrumentation and the vocals.
With their new EP, Kelly, Apuzzo, and Falotico are giving the world a small taste of what is to come in the future of the band. The four song EP is a prelude to another full length record which is in the process of being mixed right now. As with their new found musical simplicity, the lyrical content will tackle the simple things: breastfeeding, giving birth, being born, fucking, bugs, and of course, penises and vaginas meeting for the first time. There’s about two albums worth of songs written, and Monogold couldn’t bear to keep them to themselves anymore!

Shana Falana

Veteran NY psych-pop act Shana Falana just released her new LP Here Comes The Waves, her 2nd with Team Love Records. Emerging from New York’s vast drone/psych scene, Shana combines live looping of reverb-drenched vocals and guitar with tribal drums and stunning visual projections. Her live experience has often been described as transcendental.

“Psychedelic dream pop dashed on the rocks of goth defiance” -Stereogum

“If you want to zone out, Shana Falana’s alluring debut LP gives many opportunities to do so.” -Pitchfork

Dead Leaf Echo

Brooklyn’s Dead Leaf Echo is a music/art collective that released their debut LP “Thought and Language” in 2013. The album had clear 4AD influences as it was mixed by John Fryer (Lush, NIN, Depeche Mode) with artwork by the label’s legendary designer V23’s Vaughan Oliver (Pixies, Bauhaus). Their latest EP “true.deep.sleeper” released in 2014 saw them working with Monte Vallier (Weekend, Wax Idols) They are in the middle of recording their 2nd LP again w/ Vallier and also contributions from Guy Fixsen (MBV, WIRE) + Jorge Elbreht (Ariel Pink, No Joy) at Mexican Summer’s studio in Greenpoint. A 7″ single was released in September followed by a North American tour and appearance at Desert Stars Festival in Joshua Tree w/ Swervedriver and The Lemonheads

DLE did multiple national tours over the past 2 years resulting in over 160 shows and taking them to SXSW, CMJ, NXNE, Northside Festival and Europe. They’ve opened for Patti Smith and supported The Ocean Blue and the Warlocks on the east coast and on the West Coast playing with Beach Fossils and the Telescopes at The Echo. They also headlined the 20th anniversary of the indie gathering Beautiful Noise festival held in the desert of Arizona, along with Captured Tracks band Half String.

They’ve constantly topped the CMJ Top 20 indie charts. They’ve played twice live on KEXP’s John in the Morning and were recently featured as song of the day and are on regular rotation on that station as well as on Nic Harcourt’s Morning Becomes Electric on KCSN.

Previous tours and SXSW bills included The Wedding Present, A Place to Bury Strangers & Trail Of the Dead. They festivaled in 2011 with the Psychedelic Furs as well as played sold out shows in 2010 opening for the reunited Chapterhouse and Ulrich Schnauss.

Zuli

‘Zuli’ is a songwriter / multi-instrumentalist from Long Island, NY. Combining his love for well orchestrated pop songs and lo-fi influence, Zuli’s songs dwell in a sweet spot between the hallucinogenic and the neatly buttoned. An unhinged 70’s inspired psychedelia tethered to earth by fine pop sensibilities and structure.
