Members Benjamin Plant, Josh Moriarty, Aaron Shanahan and Daniel Whitechurch took some time off while on tour for their latest album All Possible Future to spill the beans on where they hang out in L.A. and where they all go for some late night food.
A favorite of local radio station’s like KCRW Miami Horror is influenced by dance pop music from the 1970’s and 1980’s as well as progressive rock and house music. With their dynamic sound they managed produce a unique electronic pop sound that makes you want to get up and dance.
So let’s see what the guys had to say…
Describe your music in one word.
California.
Any current random obsessions?
Abstract art using, shape, line and color.
Is there something you always try to do when you are in Los Angeles?
Visit The Magic Castle.
Best and worst part of visiting Los Angeles while on tour?
We live here now so the best part is getting to sleep in your own bed. Can’t think of any negatives about the city actually!
Favorite place to get a good drink in town?
Bar Stella in Silver Lake has a awesome night atmosphere for a casual drink.

There are so many new coffee shops popping up, our current favorite would be dinette in echo park, how ever we live near Intelligentsia so that is our most common spot frequented.
