La Font @ Silverlake Lounge

MONDAY, JULY 4 — SILVERLAKE LOUNGE - FREE Rawkblog and The Fold present... LA FONT 11p GEORGE GLASS 9p ALPINE DECLINE (Farewell show!) 10p THE DEAD SHIPS 12a LA FONT "The Pavement-devoted band is headed by Danny Bobbe, an Alaskan with a penchant for spotlighting the grittiest, funniest details of his current surroundings and a frontman worth the admission cost alone." — Los Angeles Times "If the crackling, Pavement-informed indie rock on LA Font’s [2010] album 'The American Leagues' feels like a breath of fresh air compared to all the noisy navel-gazing on the scene right now, it’s because songwriter Danny Bobbe probably still feels like an outsider. Bobbe moved from Montana to L.A. just two years ago, and his prickly songs have the feel of a wiseguy who suddenly finds himself planted in hipster heaven (if not a homeless haven) and who responds by flaming, with guitar and in verse. It’s reminiscent of other local favorites such as Rademacher, the Henry Clay People and Death to Anders, though none of them nails a baseball metaphor as LA Font does in the title track." — Kevin Bronson, Buzzbands.la
