The www.makequick.com team got a chance to check out PEOPLE at the Troubadour on Fri. March 20th in Los Angeles, California and we absolutely loved them. I heard of PEOPLE through a band called Semi Precious Weapons from New York, who I have seen several times over the past couple years. PEOPLE were supposed to tour with Semi Precious Weapons, but the plans tragically fell-apart after a death close to the band.

The bands claims that their music lies within the crux of 70s rock. Although tracks on their self titled release “PEOPLE” touch upon 70s attitude and vocal intonation say “Lil’ Bastard” or “1-330”, the reality is the band is relatively eclectic. With songs like the reggae inspired “Valentine” , “Double” a Mick Jagger/modern rock hybrid, or “A Night on The Town” 80s greatest hits, its hard to pinpoint the bands sound, but not their identity. With flamboyant outfits and 70s boyish good looks, the band is out to create a buzz again with a new album entitled “Cliché”. The new tracks seem to levitate towards the 80s direction, although we’ve only heard a few.


Look out for PEOPLE at the Viper Room on April 6th in West Hollywood, and maybe we will catch them on that Semi Precious Weapons tour sometime soon!
