Most people probably haven’t heard of Mosco Rosco. Yet. That’s because up until the beginning of this month, they were formerly known as the band Harper Blynn who produced two full length albums in 2010 and 2012, performed sold-out shows at the Bowery Room, and toured with Ingrid Michaelson, Greg Laswell, and Sarah Barielles, who was quotes as saying, the band “blows her mind.” The band also performed on Sarah Barielles’ 2013 fourth album The Blessed Unrest, which was nominated last year for the 2013 Album of the Year Grammy Award. Mosco Rosco’s sound is an fresh take on indie rock fused with notes of pop. Under their new label, the band is expected to release a single with Reggie Watts this month and will perform several shows in LA including gracing our very own art gallery stage presented by Midori. Don’t miss it!
