CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED
LOS ANGELES BAND
LA BOUQUET
Share Title Track From Upcoming
Album Sad People Dancing On Clash
Debut LP Out March 29
Tour Dates Announced Soon
New York, NY - February 8, 2019 - Amuse recording artists La Bouquet today released the title track from their soon to be released debut, full length LP, "Sad People Dancing." The track is a gorgeously melancholic journey taking musical influences from icons like Tear for Fears mixed with the modern post-punk attitude that La Bouquet is known for. Fans can check out the single on Clash and download here.
"Obviously, there's an eighties influence, but there's also a big R+B influence," Bryan explains. "At the same time, we also come from that punk ethos. We don't want everything to sound TOO perfect. We just want every note to evoke some sort of emotion."
La Bouquet, is a Los Angeles-based trio consisting of Bryan Sammis (formerly of The Neighbourhood), Jake Lopez and Drew Bruchs. The band craft a sound that siphons bedroom-rattling falsetto through post-punk soundscapes. It's a striking blend that leaves the group existing between three worlds.
The group have steadily gained critical acclaim since their inception from outlets as diverse as Ones To Watch, FLOOD, and Culture Collide for their "expertly combined emotional balladry and R&B with a punk sensibility" (Culture Collide), "...pristine guitar work and gorgeous melodies" (The 405), "emotional post-punk soundscapes" (Ones To Watch), and "slick fusion of contemporary pop punk and '80s aesthetics" (Flood).
The band will play a show on March 30, 2019, in Santa Barbara, CA @ Velvet Jones to hail the release of the song and their new LP.
"Sad People Dancing" follows the 2018 releases of "Names Like Songs" and the Sunshine Sessions collection, which saw La Bouquet experiment with acoustic interpretations of their 2017 EP Heavy Sunshine. Also appearing on Sad People Dancing are "Loveless" and "Loser Baby", both singles featured on KROQ Locals Only.
Sad People Dancing is out March 29, 2019.

IX Reach has been offering cloud and connectivity solutions at Iron Mountain’s Scottsdale data centre via cross connects since 2016.

Additionally, as part of their "Valentine's Day Doesn't Have to Suck" chat, TWLOHA is asking content streamers to help them raise money and awareness for mental health.

Streamers can set up their fundraisers here: https://bit.ly/2HT8mIR.
"We know that Valentine's Day can be a rough and often lonely day for so many folks - that's why we want to remind people that their love matters and that they matter," says COO Lindsay Kolsh. "Our chat is an invitation to talk about these uncomfortable feelings but to also remind those struggling that they are not alone during this holiday or any other days."
To Write Love on Her Arms is a nonprofit dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide. It exists to encourage, inform, inspire, and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery. Since its start in 2006, TWLOHA has donated over $2.3 million directly into treatment and recovery and answered over 200,000 messages from over 100 countries.
This past September TWLOHA wrapped their 7th annual campaign to honor World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD) and National Suicide Prevention Week (NSPW). With the help of supporters from around the world, the organization was able to raise over $200k for treatment and recovery, more than doubling their initial goal of $100k. Over 3600 people donated to the "Tomorrow Needs You" campaign, in addition to the sale of 4,655 World Suicide Prevention Day packs. The money raised will help sponsor nearly 4000 counseling sessions and connect 55,000 people to local mental health resources.
As part of the campaign, TWLOHA shared an inspiring video featuring actors Chris Sullivan (from This Is Us) and Jaina Lee Ortiz (from Station 19), country music star Hunter Hayes, who raised $25,000, writer/artist Morgan Harper Nichols, and singer/songwriter Matt Wertz, along with a number of clips submitted by TWLOHA supporters from around the world.
