įor more on music, local bands and new albums, check out Bill Locey's Rockin' Roll Call blog at /locey.Evoking wide-open vistas and the spirit of travel, American indie outfit Lord Huron emerged in the early 2010s on the heels of the indie folk boom, bringing together an expansive and dynamic blend of folk, rock, pop, and threads of Americana. Admission is $12 general, $9 for students. The indie buzz band, fronted by Ben Schneider, will perform at 8 tonight at the Museum of Natural History, 900 Exposition Blvd., Los Angeles. It's just something that I love to do and the guys love it, too, and we're out there doing it. Right now, our focus is to just get out there and push this record. I've already started recording some new stuff and, hopefully, I'll have time to do more of that. We're just gonna try to go on the road as much as we can, try to play some festivals and whatnot during the summer and keep writing songs. Where do you expect the band to be in a year or so? We're pretty honored to be part of that and, hopefully, the kid will be a fan for life. I did have a guy tell me that one of our songs was playing when his kid was born, which is pretty cool.
Have you ever had a weird meet-and-greet moment? Have you detected a recurring demographic at your shows?

Trying to figure out how to make a living doing this is not easy. Is the music biz like you thought it would be? We're having a good time becoming part of the scene. musicians but the ones I've met have been great. I'm still not that familiar with too many L.A. People are really open to a lot of different styles so there's a lot of great experimental stuff happening. There's a pretty diverse music scene, at least compared to New York. It was my friends from Michigan who moved out here for the band. Once you find your niche, though, it's really a great place to live. How did you survive the culture shock when you moved to L. It wasn't too bad but I've got to admit, I didn't have much of an appetite. How was the food backstage at "The Tonight Show"? But you never know where you really stand, so you just keep going and see what happens. to playing on Jay Leno a couple years later. Everything that's happened has happened really fast, from playing to nobody in L.A.
What was your big break in the music business, or have you had it yet? We don't agree on too much but we agree on a couple of things. It's a good place for artists to live, that's for sure. A lot of young people are moving there and the whole structure of the city is changing. It's had its ups and downs but it's kind of exciting what's happening in Detroit right now. Is he right about most things in your home state? I grew up there and I went to school there and then I kind of left after I finished college. What's happening in Michigan? You lived there or you're from there? We're excited to get back on the road and keep pushing it. I don't know if we're quite there yet but, you know, it's been a great response so far. How did "Lonesome Dreams" make out? Are you guys rich rock stars? I saw my buddies the Super Humanoids play there. So they have shows there every once in a while, or what? That's fitting because we're all North American mammals, I guess. I think they put us right in the North American Mammals Hall. What's up with that gig? Do you play by the dinosaur bones or what? in a few days to play at the Natural History Museum. I'm just on a little break right now for a couple weeks, seeing my family and visiting some friends in Michigan. Reached back in the Wolverine State, Schneider discussed the latest. The reinforcements include Brett Farkas and Tom Renaud, both on guitar and vocals Miguel Briseno on bass and percussion and Mark Berry on percussion and vocals. Lake Huron started out as a solo project of Michigan native-turned-Angeleno Ben Schneider, but four more guys from Michigan followed Horace Greeley's advice and have turned Schneider into a band leader. Much of the band buzz has to do with Lord Huron's full-length debut, "Lonesome Dreams," which was released in October and aptly described as a "slow-motion roller coaster ride." The group's folk-rock Americana sound just might enthrall fans of Mumford & Sons, Shovels & Rope and the Avett Brothers. Indie buzz band Lord Huron will play a cool, oddball gig ? sort of "Jurassic Park" meets "Night at the Museum" ? when it performs tonight among the fossils at the Museum of Natural History in Los Angeles. Lord Huron will rock the fossils tonight at the Museum of Natural History
