((Au Revoir Simone)) Band Profile and Upcoming Los Angeles Concerts - Oh My Rockness

Au Revoir Simone are a female trio from New York that play pleasantly melancholic electro-piano pop. Heather D'Angelo, Erika Forster and Annie Hart all play keys and sing, but only Heather gets to also rock the drum machine. This is dreamy music that is tremendously easy to listen to. I had a headache when I put on Au Revoir Simone, and like magic, the headache was gone midway through the first song.

They recently toured with We are Scientists and The Double, and will appeal to fans of Dirty on Purpose (Erika used to be in that band and is featured on their EP), a mellower Mates of State, CocoRosie minus the bravado vibrato, and Wes Anderson films.
