As the final stop of their recent tour, Akron/Family dropped their good ol’ indie sound on the hip denizens of Brooklyn. The sold-out show at the Music Hall of Williamsburg was everything one could dream of with the grouping of Akron/Family, Warpaint, and Please the Trees.

I will rarely say that I get everything I highly demand from one band, but Local Natives comes pretty damn close to meeting that standard.
This five member band from LA showcases an intermix of classical musicianship and heart felt indie vibes. Their music incorporates layered violins, touches of trumpets, hard electric guitar, drums, and original vocals (all best exemplified in their song “Who Knows Who Cares”). I’m guessing the high expectations for “Local Natives” will be met by their …
