More like a loose-knit gang of musicians than an actual band, LAKE will be performing in Bloomington this Saturday. From the Pacific Northwest, LAKE ("all caps dudes!"), is an indie rock band that has made 12 albums (three actually released) in four years, with the most recent, Let's Build a Roof, being released in early October of this year on K Records.
Karl Blau will be opening for LAKE, although it seems more like that means he will be in LAKE for a few songs, then leave the stage. From his MySpace: "I'm going on a huge tour of the US (coming to your town!) in this October/November with the amazing band LAKE. They will be my band, and it's going to be radical." Translation: Anacortes party!
LAKE describes themselves as "A'cappella / Bossa Nova / Nu-Jazz," which is more inventive-sounding than indie pop from Washington.
So if either of those sound appealing to you, make sure you head out to Russian on Saturday.
"Madagascar" is a great song so check it out (from Stereogum).
