La Luz came together in the Summer of 2012. The band began with Shana Cleveland (guitar) and Marian Li Pino (drums) (both formerly of the K Records psych rockers the Curious Mystery) and now features Abbey Blackwell on bass and Katie Jacobson on keyboards. The group brings a relaxed beach-babe vibe to their take on the sweet, thick harmonies of 60’s girl-group and doo-wop bands. La Luz is driven by thumping, energetic bass lines, danceable surf beats, tembling organ, reverb-soaked guitar, and a wild love of rock ‘n’ roll. The band recorded their first few songs with their friend (and ex- Curious Mystery bandmate) Johnny Goss in a sweaty apartment across from the laundry room in a Bothell, WA trailer park, andcalled the EP "Damp Face". "Call Me in the Day" and "Easy Baby" are two heartache hits from the "Damp Face" session.
