The Naturals are a L.A.-raised five-piece rock band. Their twangified gweetars, oh-so melodious basslines, smokey snarl vocals and furiously metal-jazzed drums cross deadly paths to create some pretty serious rock and roll music. And if that isn't enough, their bass player is actually a classical violinist by day. After meeting in high-school, this funky bunch spent a lot of time jamming in an 818 basement, playing some sweaty shows, writing some tunes and cutting a good deal of them on wax. As of now the Naturals are dispersed in various institutions of higher education, but they are still breathing steam and going super-strong when they converge in the same small country towns (usually NY or LA). Check out some tunes... see a show... enjoy yourself.
Hi... We're writing this message to you only to tell you that A) We have two new tracks up and B) We're now selling a full LP (it's pretty cheap which is nice). We just wanted to tell you what's new with us (if you even cared to know that is) but if you're actually intrigued or just laughing and rolling your eyes at us... either way, have a most lovely day
Hey, we have a new song on our page. It would be cool if you could check it out, but if not we understand, we hate these comments too.
But anyway, we're feeling pancakes--are you feeling pancakes right now? we should have pancakes together. We think that'd be nice, even if you don't like or know who we are.
Anyway, hope to talk to you soon.
Love always,
Yes Means No
