Local Natives are a 5 piece band from Silverlake, USA who have just been announced on the bill of the NME Radar Tour. The 4 band showcase which also features Marina & The Diamonds, Yes Giantess and headliners Golden Silvers will be visiting Glasgow's Oran Mor on the 1st of October.
Local Natives are already gathering much praise in the media with the Guardian newspaper comparing their different elements favourably with Fleet Foxes (harmonies), Vampire Weekend (rhythm) and Arcade Fire (drama). The band who are Matt Frazier (drums), Ryan Hahn (guitars, vocals), Taylor Rice (vocals, guitar), Kelcey Ayer (vocals, keyboards) and Andy Hamm (bass) have so far only released one limited edition 7" single, slow Hands/Cards & Quarters which came out this week on Chess Club records. The band's debut album 'Gorilla Manor' will be released soon.
