MONDAY
LIVE MUSIC
Alison’s Halo
If you’re a lover of ’90s dream pop bands like Mazzy Star, the Sundays, Cocteau Twins, and Slowdive, then I must convert you into a Alison’s Halo fan. Formed in Tempe, Arizona in 1992, the four-piece band evokes the vast, mysterious desert landscape from which they hail with frontwoman Catherine Cooper’s otherworldly harmonies and droning guitars. Expect to hear songs from their 1998 debut, Eyedazzler, which they originally recorded on various porta-studio cassettes between 1992–1996. LA-based indie rock band untitled (halo) will open.
