LANY

LANY have shot on to the scene and are quickly becoming the next big thing in synthpop having only formed just over a year ago.

Despite having all met whilst living in Nashville, LANY take their name from an acronym of Los Angeles New York having decided that they want to conquer the two cultural capitals of either side of America and everything else in between and beyond.

Having set their sights on becoming interstate sensations, wonder trio Paul Jason Klein, Jake Goss and Les Priest began by uploading the laid back and highly polished tracks Hot Lights and Walk Away to their Soundcloud page. They were soon followed by the self-released EPs Acronyms and Make Out which also showcased the trinities knack for writing effortlessly cool electronica.

The band were signed to major label Polydor Records towards the end of 2015 and the first original release to have their backing is the new single Where The Hell Are My Friends. LANY are due to play a number of high profile festivals in the States before hitting the UK.
