Moving Units

This Friday, Los Angeles-based Moving Units and Brooklyn’s Crystal Stilts will perform as part of the continuing “First Fridays” series of musical performances at The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. Moving Units is a dramatic, glamorous synthrock band fresh from Coachella and a recent venture with TOMS shoes , while Crystal Stilts is charmingly garage-y, punky, and psychedelic. It seems an unlikely pairing, but I think that the museum will be a great backdrop for the combination as well as a possible catalyst for creative collaboration and inspiration. Be sure to check out Crystal Stilts‘ music video for “Love is a Wave” after the jump.

Moving Units recently released an EP called Tension War (pictured above) that is now available on iTunes. For more information on their upcoming tour dates, please follow them on Twitter or Facebook. Crystal Stilts has a series of tour dates planned in the US over the next few weeks before heading to Europe in June. For more information about specific dates, please visit their Facebook page. Crystal Stilts‘ second full length release In Love With Oblivion (cover pictured below) is now available here. Catch them both this Friday at The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County! In addition to both bands, DJs will be spinning from 5:00pm until 10:00pm. Doors open at 5:00pm and the show is all ages. Adult tickets are $9 each, tickets for seniors and students with valid ID are $6.50, and children are $2 and available here. The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County is located at 900 Exposition Boulevard in Los Angeles, California.
