FEW THINGS BEAT FEELING THE ENERGY OF A CROWD TAKE OVER A VENUE - and Laundry Day sure knows how to get their audience going for a sold out show in Los Angeles. Taking the stage at the iconic Roxy in Hollywood March 25, the band had the crowd going crazy with every note throughout the course of their hour and 15-minute set. Dressed in the likes of colorful pants and patterned tops, the outgoing nature of the crowd’s fashion perfectly matched the fun energy present throughout the evening. Despite looking put together and laid back, no one in the crowd was too cool to jump around and mosh throughout the evening. All it took was one command from the band to sing a lyric back, put their hands up or jump for the crowd to immediately follow, waiting for whatever would come next.

With a handful of dates left of their US tour before heading to the UK, this show was a long time in the making as quarantine put a pause on the rising group’s busy schedule. Fresh off the release of their latest album We Switched Bodies, LAUNDRY DAY filled the evening with old and new tracks, allowing insight into their diverse catalog. While the crowd was jumping and going crazy to tracks like “Little Bird” and grooving to “Sunny Boy’s Lament”, they swayed and listened attentively to slower, acoustic tracks like “And Either Way It Goes”.

Vocalist Jude Ciulla took an almost theatrical approach to his performance, providing for an evening of pure entertainment and riffing off of each band member throughout the evening while vocalist Sawyer Nunes switched between keys and guitar throughout the set Guitarist Henry Weingartner and bassist Henry Pearl provided a strong foundation for the soundtrack of the evening while drummer Etai Abramovich provided his own shenanigans from time to time, like showcasing his toy baby he brought to the stage.

LAUNDRY DAY’s young nature brings a fresh and vibrant energy to the live scene we’ve been missing. Not following any mold, the band has truly paved their own path and sound, and has found a loyal audience enthusiastic or whatever the band creates.

“I know it sounds cheesy, but music makes me feel so whole & gives me such a genuine & unfiltered joy. When you do something you love, the internal pressure of “having to make it” lessens because success becomes redefined. Success is getting up in the morning and knowing I get to make music today.” - kristiane 💓 🎶Her latest EP ‘I Miss Myself’ serves as an incredible insight into the growing artist’s talents & passion.
