Sounds Like
A mix between classic 70's rock and early 90's Grunge mashed into the NW Indie scene. Anything from Floyd to PJ to Modest Mouse to Radiohead
I know what you're thinking: "With a name like "La Cha-Cha" you
guys must play Cuban music. Where's yer horn section?" Well my friend,
though we do enjoy the Cuban entertainment, we are a rock band. Not just
rock mind you, but Indie-pop-jazz-alt-rock-electronica. Allow me to expand.
La Cha-Cha formed in the autumn of 2004 from the writing of Larren Wolford (vocals, guitar, programming), Chad Kauppi (guitar, vocals) and Marty (the drum machine). The three had written a few tunes and decided it was time to get a real live drummer. Chad had been in a band called Dub Sac with a childhood friend of his named Chad Wiser (thats not a typo, they're both named Chad) and we decided to recruit him. Hence, the name of the band: Larren, Chad
and Chad. We practiced up and had ourselves a show at a local club, which went very well thanks for asking. We've been performing in the area ever since.
All of us have been playing music in various projects since the early 90s, and we all
have different musical tastes. That's why I describe our music as Indie-pop-jazz-alt-rock-electronica.
Consider our influences for instance: Built to Spill, Modest Mouse, Pavement
and Death Cab for Cutie (Indie); Weezer, Pearl Jam, Flaming Lips and Ween (Alternative);
Wilco,
The
Beatles, Neil Young and Radiohead (Rock); Postal Service, Ratatat, Rjd2 and
hip hop in general (Electronica).
Less than one year together and we already have one full-length album under our
belts entitled, "Sounds From the Suburbs." We have been featured in the Spokesman-Review's "7" weekend
paper, the Finger and the Sandpoint Reader. We have also been on KZZU 92.9
FM, Thin Air Radio 92.3 FM, as well as KPND 95.3 FM in Sandpoint. La Cha-Cha
is
currently performing around Spokane and the region. Come see what you're missing.
Our tour kickoff show is on Friday at the BLVD w/ Cyrus Fell Down & Space Age Fur @ 6pm and we'd love for you to be there. This is our last Spokane show for a while and we will be playing 2 new songs so we're trying to make it a special night. Hope to see you there!
Hey La Cha-Cha
