3 1/2

“The LA-based lo-fi outfit 3 ½’s sound may be as adorable as its debut EP First Recording’s album art, which depicts each member of the trio, instrument in hand, with the head of a cat. Led by vocalist Leila Jarman, the three-piece produces straightforward, uncluttered indie-pop with sugary sweet melodies. After taking a two-year hiatus, local radio station KXLU rediscovered the EP, with the help of local record label Co Wave’s radio show on the station, resulting in a scheduled performance at this year’s SXSW festival. You can discover the EP for FREE on the band’s site, and for those of you lucky dogs (or cats) heading down to Austin in March, be sure to check out 3 ½’s set! ” Katrina Nattress - The Deli “Striking Indie Newcomers 3 1/2 are an indie rock trio from Los Angeles: Tara Touzie on drums, Robert Cifuentes on guitar and vocals by Leila Jarman. Currently unsigned, but after taking an unexpected 2 year hiatus, local LA indie radio station KXLU rediscovered the EP and with their support and air time, the band is scheduled to play SXSW in Austin Texas in March!” Trisha Jones - Sound Stand 3 1/2, Bangs, and Britches, Co Wave, LA Read more on Last.fm.
