Moving to France formed in Los Angeles in 2005 amidst a sea of well-dressed and unimpressed hipsters. The quartet has since captured a melodic and textured rock sound that rumbles and yet maintains a comforting and inviting intimacy. A considerably heady blend of influences (Radiohead, David Bowie, Jeff Buckley, The Killers, My Morning Jacket, and The Cure) mesh to create the band's unique sound.
Michael, the bands vocalist, captures listeners with his sonorous vocal styling, engaging lyrics, and sing-along hooks. Greg, the lead guitarist, masters dark and catchy guitar licks that give the music a melodic drive and hookiness all its own. Adam, the bassist, supplies the band its heartbeat playing funk-infused rock lines that lock seamlessly with Joe, the bands drummer, percussionist, and beat programmer. The result is a sound that sings and shakes.
Moving to France has been spun on Los Angeless Indie 103.1 FM, San Franciscos Alice Radio 97.3 FM, Montreals CKUT 90.3 FM, and New Orleans WTUL. They frequent LAs legendary rock venues such as the Troubadour, Viper Room, and Spaceland, and have also rocked in New Orleans, San Francisco and Las Vegas.
The band has just completed its self-titled full-length debut 12 song release available for purchase at select LA record stores, online through the bands website, and soon for digital download on iTunes.
