ABOUT

Sure Sure is an experimental indie band from Los Angeles, California. The highly collaborative group, composed of Chris Beachy (keyboardist, singer), Charlie Glick (guitarist, singer), Kevin Farzad (drums, percussion) and Michael Coleman (producer), has been releasing music since 2014. Perched on a hill in Highland Park, the boys self-produce all their music in their house-turned-studio - a myriad of instruments positioned throughout the first floor, with cables snaking up the walls to the recording console upstairs. Sure Sure's recordings and infectious live show have quickly solidified them as one of the most exciting up and coming bands out of LA. Their sound is characterized by a glowing warmth, ear-worm melodies, and driving rhythms, like if the Talking Heads, Tame Impala and Steely Dan raised their love child together under the California sun. Ever since their 2016 single "New Biome" caught fire on Spotify, the band has been garnering a rapidly expanding audience, both online and in real life. In the summer of 2017 they began a new release cycle, putting out the heartbreak-pop tune "Friends," dance-tastic "Hands Up Head Down" and others, reaching #1 on the Hype Machine charts and gaining praise from Grizzly Bear, Rostam of Vampire Weekend and other staples in the indie music community. Following their album release onJanuary 12 and Winter 2018 tour with Hippo Campus, Sure Sure embarked upon their first national headline tour in April which they proceeded to pack coast to coast. Having recently made their national television debut, performing on the ESPYs Red Carpet on ESPN, the band is touring nationwide again this Fall on top of two new singles. You can call the boys at (323)739-0630 if you have any questions, comments, or just want to say hi.
