Live
With
LANY
R
oses are red, violets aren’t technically
blue, but every person that’s experienced
one of LANY’s shows knows that you
feel all the feels the minute you walk
into the venue. When the Los Angeles trio walk
on stage, the lights come up and the sound of
their opening song, “Dumb Stuff,” fills the room.
The vibrations of the opening song and the crowd
screaming with pure excitement sets the tone for
what’s going to be one of the best nights for so
many.
LANY skyrocketed to fame this year with
their offbeat yet perfect sound and songs that you
can drive miles listening to. Lead singer Paul
Klein, drummer Jake Goss, and keyboardist and
guitarist Les Priest collectively create an atmos-
phere for lyrics about being in love and melodies
that connect perfect strangers for a night. With
roses lifted and voices singing along to hit songs
like “ILYSB” and “Super Far,” the night was one
no one will forget.
There’s no doubt that LANY is going to
continue to grow in 2018 and if you haven’t
yet, get to one of their shows and experience
one of most eclectic performances of your life.
