  • Bio

    We're called GOTHIC TROPIC "At first glance, Gothic Tropic has all the earmarks of California natives Abe Vigoda and Fool's Gold with their jolty rhythm section and pop-infused compositions. The Echo Park trio, whose ironically penned name brings to mind a mascara-drenched Siouxsie look-alike riding the 720 towards Santa Monica on a scorching summer, is actually less frenetic than their peers, with piercing guitar lines and across the fretboard taps fluttering at a steadier pace. Cecilia Della Peruti's reverbed vocals (of Rumspringa fame) give an added numinous quality to the band, whose recent EP, Awesome Problems, breezes by with casual allure and a touch of quirky experimental grooves." -The Deli "Los Angeles trio Gothic Tropic introduces some hard edges to the playful world of psych-pop. Gothic Tropic finds inspiration from high energy afro-cuban beats, and exuberant guitars. The brainchild of Cecilia Della Peruti, Gothic Tropic keeps the vibe measured and darkly bizarre with a unique lead guitar/vocal style that recalls catchy elements of pre-punk 70s acts such as Television, Captain Beefheart, and Can. Bassist Daniel Denton (Metric) and drummer Liv Marisco (Cold War Kids) have pushed a quick and steady evolution in Gothic Tropic's short history, growing from a collection of Della Peruti's loop station jams to one of Los Angeles' more exciting new acts in just a matter of months. Get a copy of their debut "Awesome Problems EP" and enjoy the lo-fi while you can." -BMI "Like Fool's Gold, and Vampire Weekend, the new L.A. trio Gothic Tropic finds inspiration in world beats and exuberant guitars. The brainchild of Cecilia Della Peruti, who for the past two years has played with Rumspringa, Gothic Tropic takes a playful, lo-fi approach to the psych-pop on its four-song "Awesome Problems" EP, with guitar lines that poke and tickle and beats that quicken the pulse. Della Peruti, who's teamed up with bassist Daniel Denton (Never at Night) and drummer Liv Marsico (Cold War Kids, and Hot Hot Heat), got an assist from guitarist Sam Lopez Jr. (TRC, and Tapioca and the Flea) on the EP, whose rough edges are anything but a vibe-killer." -Kevin Bronson, Buzzbands LA "This is the music in the background of a Tarantino film, or the same jams that make you think about the good times. They have the summer songs that blow "Pumped Up Kicks" out of the California Pacific, yet holds the same DIY excitement at the Laurel Canyon parties. Songwriter/vocalist/guitarist, Cecilia Della Peruti, sparks the groove that crawls up your neck; you just can't shake it off without joining in on the fun, or at least being recruited by Della Peruti's energized timbre and rough guitar licks. Bassist, Daniel Denton rocks with a '70s funk feel, as Della Peruti on guitar, brings the grit of garage punk into the crowd. Drummer, Liv Marsico, local face of percussion, rocks her ponytail out of her tie. Their tracks are the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Strokes during a road trip from Cali to Arizona. This Silverlake crowd is looking for the cool kids on the block and Gothic Tropic is it." -STRETCH LA
