It feels good to be back writing about my favorite kind of bands: Los Angeles/Orange County based ones. Allah-Las have been playing around LA forever, joining a death soup cult of ridiculously talented bands to raise up on out of the OC and go national including friends The Growlers, Audacity, The Entrance Band, Cosmonauts and Dirt Dress. If that doesn’t give you a clue about what they sound like, I will go ahead and tell you. ‘Catamaran‘ is a succulent little cut of psych-pop 60s surf that has a great groove, impeccable use of organ and winds up being strangely sexy. Seeing as I love all outdated dance moves, this one is perfect to do both The Swim & The Mashed Potato. If you’re into the Growlers and the Strange Boys, this is definitely for you.
