About Me

WE ARE LIGHT POLLUTION. WE LIKE TO PLAY SHOWS AND RECORD MUSIC. When we aren’t doing either we destroy organs with baseball bats and light them on fire in our backyard to make music videos...

..

We have been a band for a couple years. We have toured the Midwest, Southwest, Northwest and West Coast. This summer we will be touring the East Coast and Midwest in support of our new full length record. Watch out for dates coming up.

We have played with many bands including Anathallo, Maria Taylor (of Azure Ray), Murder By Death, Cloud Cult, Colour Revolt, The Pillows (japan) David Bazan (of Pedro the Lion), Malajube, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, Headlights, William Elliot Whitmore, Margot and The Nuclear So and So’s, Langhorne Slim, Wooden Wand, Kind of Like Spitting, Old Canes (of Appleseed Cast), Dianogah, Ecstatic Sunshine, Sybris, Bound Stems, Head of Femur, The Billy Nayer Show, The Parenthetical Girls, The Robot Ate Me, and many many others.
