Luke's Angels are a Minneapolis band, but they are the sweethearts of St Paul. Their brand new album "Paulopolis" seeks to heal the long time divide between these rival cities with charm and chugging rock.
This unpretentious indie rock quartet has drawn comparisons to the Breeders, Throwing Muses, and Veruca Salt, but they're not just an early 90's alt sister rock knock off. Listen closely and you'll hear other influences like Loretta Lynn, the Pretenders, Ride and PJ Harvey. Really, LA has a sound all their own because the music is genuine and their personalities shine through.
After several childbirths, recording a couple of X-mas albums and some lineup shifts, the Angels settled on their current roster, which features founders Jennie Kalpin DDS, Melissa Kalpin MLS, Jennie's husband Josh Richardson (also of Flavor Crystals and Prairie Restorations Inc.) and legendary drummer Nick Hook (Kelley Deal 6000, Deformo, Jan, Vinnie and the Stardusters, Hind Quarterly editor-in-chief.)
