VOICE ON TAPE - Record Release Party with Sam Mickens & LA 19, Nico Turner, and DJ Sets by Cashmere Safari & More at The Satellite! VOICE ON TAPE is the high lonesome sound of the Inland Empire, the singular work of cultural maven and scene godfather Lou Anda. Black-hatted and gifted with a ghostly, keening tenor, VOICE ON TAPE's music is so pure and direct as to feel unmoored from time - simple songs of sorrow, nostalgia and longing are charged with resonance elemental, universal, and overwhelming in their sheer beauty. Sam Mickens & LA 19: Combining an increasingly performance art-influenced streak with a rooting in Bryan Ferry-style glam rock theatricality, Brooklyn's Sam Mickens has consistently pushed his boundaries to create compellingly singular works." -KEXP Sam Mickens was born in Los Angeles, CA.
