To call La Luz's take on 1960s surf rock 'infectious' would be an understatement. Truly their sound, which features dreamy vocal harmonies reminiscent of girl group wonders The Shirelles, is a bubbly reincarnation, but no less swoon-worthy. Hailing from Seattle, La Luz's twangy electric guitar and “Walk Don't Run”- esque homages should fit in well here in Southern California, home of surf rock and sunshine. Tonight they play The Continental Room with Tashaki Miyaki.
