Show Spotlight: the Lonely Wild Record Release at the Bootleg Theater, Thursday February 24

By Kathryn Pinto
Radio Free Silver Lake is thrilled to present the record release of Dead End from the Lonely Wild at the Bootleg Theater on Thursday February 24. We first met the band when they played the RFSL Marvelous Toy residency in December, and more than one RFSL staffer was totally enamored at first listen.

Have you ever been to a show where you are so pulled in by the music and the performance that you forget what day it is, forget that the rent was due on Monday but you don’t get paid until Friday? Those times are the reason I venture out on a weeknight hoping to shake off the sluggish and hear something great. The Lonely Wild played that show. Twice. They won’t disappoint.

Dead End aches with the sad expanse of the western horizon stretching out across an empty darkened desert freeway. Lyrics reference class struggle, political disillusionment and all things Woody Guthrie, yet the songwriting and arrangements allow these stories plenty lot of space to stretch out and breathe. These expansive indie country songs have breathtakingly beautiful male-female harmonies that contrast with instrumentation that recalls desolate Morricone spaghetti western twang, then blooms into lush country soul orchestrations.

Dead End was produced by the Lonely Wild and engineered by Dave Newton at Rollercoaster Recordings studio in Burbank, and by the band at their own Area 41 studio in Echo Park.

Radio Free Silver Lake presents the record release show with the Lonely Wild, Halstead and Sons of August on February 24^th at The Bootleg Theater at 2220 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles, 90057. $10 cover. Doors at 8pm. 21+.

I want to become a musician and always try to do my best. I sing a pop and rock music but now I want to sing some indie songs. So, please update some latest music.
