From Los Angeles, California

From last.fm:

THE VIOLET LIGHTS are a rock duo based in Silver Lake, Los Angeles, California. Tracking their debut EP, Sex & Sound, at the legendary Hollywood studio Sunset Sound Recorders, they emerged with what is being described as a “Velvet Underground descendant collection of songs more befitting of the ‘garage’ label than, say, The Strokes” and a surprisingly developed sound labeled “a mash-up of Britpop, NYC garage rock and West Coast guitar musings.” Read more about The Violet Lights on Last.fm.
