Ezra Reich - Emily
*Ezra Reich is a native New Yorker, now based in Los Angeles, whose music has been described as "Beatles meets Prince" (NY Noise) and compared to "Everything from Bryan Ferry to the Cars" (TimeOut London), with songwriting that "reminds you of the value of melody" (Indieville). Most recently LA artist Juli Crockett wrote, "Ezra Reich’s music is (in my opinion) like John Maus arm-wrestling David Lynch in a Technicolor water ballet"
.Here are some things that happened:
In 2003, "Behind the Scenes", from Reich's first album Freeze the Night, was featured on AOL Music's First break, with the song being downloaded thousands of times.
In early 2004, Reich's music was the theme to a national advertising campaign for Tommy Hilfiger's "H" Line, featuring David Bowie.
Ezra spent the rest of the year co-producing his second record, Milkshake Arcade, with Ron A. Shaffer (Ambulance Ltd., Tricky).
In early 2006, Reich debuted new material at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, backed by horn and string accompaniment. This would mark the begining of his use of an all female string quartet as a permanent part of the live show.
Ezra has toured the UK, played South by Southwest and performs regularly in both New York City and, now, Los Angeles.

Hope you're luving this last little bit of summer. Have you been out to The Airliner yet? We've been playing there lately & are really digging that punky East Side vibe. We've got a show there again on the 8th & really want you to come out to see what we do live. Music is always better in person. Rock & Roll!
