Armed with witty song titles and their dreamy ambient-pop sounds, Los Angeles, California three-piece band LANY has made great strides since coming together in 2014 and sharing their music online. Paul Klein, Jake Goss and Les Priest has since toured over a 100 shows worldwide and have even opened for notable artistes such as X Ambassadors, Halsey and John Mayer.

LANY is quickly growing onward and upward with its substantially escalating fan base by fusing their distinct flavour into the alternative rock scene with tracks like “ILYSB”, “4EVER!”, “Super Far”, “13”, all included in the band’s first studio album, LANY, newly released on June 30th this year. With over 6.9 million monthly listeners worldwide on Spotify, the band was even crowned the most streamed artist in 2016 via Spotify Discover.

We quizzed drummer Jake Goss on LANY’s beginnings, his most memorable gig thus far and the future of the band, ahead of their first ever Malaysian gig at the 2017 Good Vibes Festival, happening August 12 to 13 at The Ranch, Gohtong Jaya, Genting Highlands.

Q: Tell us about the band’s humble beginnings and what the dynamics of the band is like.

A: The band originally started in Nashville after Paul called me to see if he could come in town and make music with Les and I. Obviously I said, “Yes please, immediately.” This became LANY.

Les and I moved to Los Angeles after we were getting serious interest from labels after putting some songs on Soundcloud. Once we were all set and living in a one-bedroom apartment in Hollywood we hustled, saying yes to every opportunity that came our way and buckling down on a live set. Our manager Rupert got us into the right rooms with the right people and we’ve been non-stop ever since.

Q: Why LANY?

A: Los Angeles – New York, and we needed a four-letter word.
