Local Natives, who released their highly anticipated sophomore album Hummingbird earlier this year, have just announced additional U.S. tour dates, including a stop in Pittsburgh at Stage AE on 6/10! This show follows their sold-out tour earlier this spring, and will be part of their most extensive tour to date. Their live show is not to be missed – PRESS HERE to watch their performance of “Sun Hands” at this year’s Coachella!
The four-piece from Los Angeles released Hummingbird, out now via Frenchkiss Records, as a follow up to 2010’s widely acclaimed Gorilla Manor, and it has received rave reviews – The Los Angeles Times called Hummingbird “…a transformational arrival.” PRESS HERE to watch the gorgeous video for “Bowery” via Pitchfork.tv
“Local Natives have become a prominent, assured voice of contemporary Los Angeles rock…a transformational arrival.” – Los Angeles Times
“…these Angelenos are indie rock’s next great hope. (15 New Stars We Love)” – Entertainment Weekly
“With Hummingbird, Local Natives have made a thoughtful, lovely album with small gestures that provide great rewards. (8.1)” – Pitchfork
“The album has the sense of an awakening – of truth learned and maturity earned – and a sedate, deliberate quality…” – Paper
“…they are still the band that first captured our hearts three years ago … Hummingbird plays like a sophisticated and logical forward progression… They may be shifting the weight of the world onto their collective shoulders, but it hasn’t dampened their energy a bit (8 out of 10).” – Under The Radar
Local Natives are also releasing a remix they made of Hummingbird track “Wooly Mammoth,” called “Wooly Robot” – PRESS HERE to listen! Hummingbird, out now via Frenchkiss Records, debuted at #12 on Billboard’s Top 200 and is the long-awaited follow-up to 2010’s Gorilla Manor!
PRESS HERE to watch their Coachella performance of “Sun Hands.”
