Following their international fall tour, Allah-Las is adding new headlining dates in March and April in support of their latest, critically acclaimed album, Calico Review, out now on Mexican Summer. 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.
In addition, the band debuts the new documentary, De Vida Voz, featuring concert and behind-the-scenes footage from their most recent tour in North America and Europe. Watch the full film HERE. An exclusive tour photo diary is now available on Baeble, who say, "[Allah-Las] continue to deliver their identifiable warmth we hear in their music through these gorgeous photos, as they're bathed in film grain and west coast heat."
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. Of the debut,
Pitchfork said, "it sounds like an effortlessly wistful batch of starry-eyed, minor-key beauties that gently ruminate on the usual young-guy subjects: sex, freedom, the ways the former can interfere with the latter and vice versa."
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.
