Of all the people who come to Los Angeles for the fame and fortune— artists, actors, musicians, what have you— it seems that indie pop duo Golden Coast have cracked the code and become the latest band to have broken through and garner attention. Members Denny White and Steven Mudd met in college after coming from Colorado and the San Jacinto desert, respectively, and combined their musical chemistry to produce a tremendously dance-y slew of singles. Their upbeat, synth-laden track “Dream and An MPC,” encourages other like-minded artists going through the perennial outsider-coming-to-LA-to-make-it struggle to hold on to their dreams— as they can attest, stardom is certainly possible. This positive pair certainly will bring the energy levels up every Wednesday as they begin their month-long residency tonight at the Wayfarer.
