Daniel and James are two of the members of La Strada, a band that had a hard time describing their sound as strictly “indie” although that’s probably the closet definition that fits. They say they are “an energetic rock/pop with strings, accordion, guitars, drums, whistles, circus animals, puppeteers, loud voices, etc.” That fits, too.
You can catch them at the Bell House in Brooklyn on May 29, and heads up to local musicians: they are looking for a second violinist “that can shred” to join them.
Highlights of Hey Brooklyn! interview and performance include hearing about their unusual writing process, and the story of how they found Faten Kanaan, the artist that painted their album artwork. It is a totally New York City tale that takes place the most unique of New York City spaces: the subway.
Their self titled EP is available now, as well as their new full-length album New Home.
