Our pals, Local Natives have been blowing up, I give them 6 months till they make their Letterman / SNL debut.

They were in British newspaper, The Guardian’s, new band of the day feature today.

The guys are currently traveling 44 hours straight from the house in Silverlake they share to New York to play the Bowery Ballroom and an Eastern tour.

They are making it back to Canada passing through Toronto & Montreal, June 11th & 12th. Check out more of their dates here.

If they’re passing through your city, go and see them. They are very much live musicians and will blow you away. They are also really nice guys so if you see them, go and say hi!

I am greatly honored to have had them do their first international tour date at our Winnie Cooper / No More Strangers night.

We made a lil video about their trip for a new thing were doing called Winnie-TV. Hope you like it! It features an interview, a live take away show, and footage from their performance. It also features their pals, The Union Line who played as well. They will be right behind them, so be on the look out! Their self titled debut is bad ass.

Here are some tunes from both bands that they recorded at Daytrotter!

Local Natives – Cards & Quarters

Local Natives – Airplanes

The Union Line – Rich Man’s Tune

The Union Line – Mama Don’t Care

Oh and here’s some bonus footage from the after party that didn’t make the cut and probably shouldn’t be shown.
