The genesis of Gold Lake began in Spain when Carlos and Lua met in Carlos’ hip night club in Madrid in the midst of the Spanish capital’s music scene. Discovering a mutual love of the 60s and 70s bands from the West Coast, the Laurel Canyon bands, as well as the atmospheres Eno created for Bowie in the 70s the two began writing music together. They have toured consistently since their formation playing out in NYC as well as at festivals including LA’s Culture Collide Festival, NXNE festival in Toronto, Northside Festival in NY and Austin’s SXSW. In addition to supporting the Lumineers and Midlake the band have supported Basia Bulat, Peter and the Wolf, Ivan & Alyosha and Nada Surf. Read more on Last.fm.
